Is this the best phone on the market? If so, for how long?

The real question is will your needs in the phone change in the next year or two? If not, then it doesn't really matter what comes out in the immediate future. To be honest, outside of video chat and gaming, I use my iPhone 4 in almost the exact way I used my AT&T Tilt that I bought four years ago. My needs haven't changed much and I would suspect that the needs of others haven't changed too much either nap if the device that you have chosen today is the beat on the market and it meets your needs, then there is a good chance that it will next year and the year after.

I agree with your post. Desktop PC's with quad-core chips hit the point 2 or 3 years ago where I had zero reason to upgrade in the foreseeable future. And ditto laptops a year or so ago.

I think I reached that point with phones with the EVO 3D (now my wife's) and Photon. The Photon is physically as big as I'd want to go for a phone, has a dual-core CPU of which I rarely even activate the 2nd core, as much RAM and ROM as I'll use for the foreseeable future, and a high-res screen where my eye isn't capable of seeing pixelation.

I personally think what's great about the epic is that the gsII is a proven reliable platform. We got it late but it's still better than anything else out there. Because Sprint launched it first we may get better developer support as well since the iPhone will overshadow the GSII launch on att, and T-Mobile's version is getting a different processor.

I got the Pre when it came out, and then got the Epic 4G on its release date a year and half later. I was still very happy with my year + old Epic 4G, and only got the Epic 4G Touch because Sprint offered an early upgrade. Now, the Touch is very, very fast, but really it cant do a thing more than my old Epic could. I find the trick is to get the latest at the point of purchase. Yes, new, and faster phones will come out, and someone will get them, but in a year in a half or two years when you upgrade it will be your turn again with the latest, and greatest.

Because the Exynos SoC doesn't support their 4g HSPA+ network.
