And porting an English UK Froyo ROM to the US is difficult how? All the hard work is already done, stop making big news of small potatoes it's guaranteed this year confirmed for Sept in some areas and porting a UK version to a US version isn't exact hard as I already said, stop being a drama queen next you'll make a post about how absurd it is that it only has 512mb of ROM and how you won' be buying it.
I packed my Moment with more Apps than I'll ever use and it doesn't even have the same storage as this phone I still have room, drama queen till the end.
Would you please stop being a jerk!! If you can fit all your needed apps on your moment, that does not mean that everyone else also will. The froyo is coming for european Galaxy S device for sure, but that has a GSM radio and Epic will have CDMA. I am not expert and I don't know if it is all that easy to port a ROM from one GSM device to its CDMA counterpart, but my experience with a Treo Pro tells me it is not. While CDMA TP was able to get some activity going in cooked roms for itself, its GSM version was never able to get it working. So, differnet kind of radios have the potential to make it difficult to port the roms. On top of that, Epic has 4G radio plus other hardware add-ons, which no other Galaxy S has, and for all what I know, it just might make the things bit hard to port. And even if it does get ported over, not every Epic user is going to be tech savvy enough to know about the methods of installing a ROM to their device, and plus even for the people who are that savvy, not everyone would want to go through the hassle of doing it. So, if you dont need that much space does not mean others wont need it either, and if you can use a unofficial froyo rom, it does not mean that other Epic user would do that too. Even if others do that, not every app will be ready for installation on sd card and not everyone will want to go around sending data from their ROM to sd card for some big apps - and there is already a issue of vibrant experiencing lag because its app data is being stored on internal SD and only way to fix it either to move that back to NAND or to ext 2/3/4 partition on external sd. So, as from the vibrant's example, having to have the app data on SD card can cause some lag issues to arise. But, of course, since you are an advanced user, you wont mind it and you will find a solution to it, but that does not mean every other person also will find the solution and have the knowledge and guts to apply it to their expensive new phone.
Consider the issue from a fair point of view and then speak something.
Also, the matter raised here was that it seems like sprint is giving contrasting info about Epic's specs. You just jumped on someone else's bandwagon and start playing your own drum. No, I am not saying your opinion is not important, but please try to answer the OP in a way that answers his concerns, and not call him "drama queen."
