Coming from an original Epic, I can tell you there is NO WAY that device was faster at ANYTHING... and that's not even talking about a stock Epic (which WAS almost as unusable as DG tries to claim the touch is), but an Epic with a fast stable custom ROM on it. The stock Epic Touch is still WAY faster.
I don't know what DG's deal is, but he's on the border of being banned from the forum as a troll. I wouldn't put too much stock in what he says LOL. I love how quickly he backpedaled from his claim that the Photon's camera was equal, after unequivocally stating that in his very last post.
Google ANY device, and you're going to find OODLES of complaints online.. it's what the internet is for LOL. DG has some personal vendetta against this device. I actually hope they DON'T ban him, because at this point it's just entertaining. He complains, then either backpedals or disappears from the thread when someone calls him on his faulty logic or deeply spun "evidence".
I mean, look at this horrible battery life... 40% left after almost 19 hours:
