I ordered the Epic-brand new, not a refurb, from Radio Shack for 19.99 today-about an hour ago, had called them up. I couldn't pass that up.
My cousin has this phone, I'd looked at it-wanted a Samsung. I went to the Sprint store in my area to look at it further and the screen is very nice, clear. I'd seen HTC's phones and while they are slightly-just a tad wider, the Samsung had the clearest, sharpest, nicest colors, best view.
I'm coming from AT&T, with an LG VU 920. I wanted a bigger screen, something that might not ruin my eyesight as fast lol. I have a new job, we don't have the web, so I use my phone to look at the web-the screen is too small. I also wanted to get away from AT&T's higher prices and possible overage charges.
I hope Sprint keeps their pricing as is. While my bill will be about $25 more/month, I'll have more ability and the larger screen to be able to view. I looked at the Captivate, and while I'm not the biggest texter, I do like the keyboard, it will come in handy for writing when I don't have my laptop or pdas handy.
Looking forward to looking through all things Android, can't wait to get the phone!!
