Need Your Evo Epic Thoughts
- Thread starter zuma
- Start date
I must be one of the lucky few to get a "Golden" Epic.
I've never had an issue with my GPS, and my battery life has always been good.
It's even better now with the latest update.
I love the keyboard, and I haven't had any problems with key-presses.
I have, however, gotten tons of texts from some of the guys who work for me (who I convinced to get Evos) with typos and mis-typed words.
I send texts and e-mails (up to 200 a day) with my Epic, and I know I would hate it without the keyboard. A quick reply with swype is fine, but the hardware keyboard is a must for me.
I've used my Epic for GPS navigation and pandora radio throughout the ft. lauderdale/Miami area for four days without any issues with bandwidth, so I would say it works fine for youtube, internet, etc..
I guess you can figure that I recommend the Epic.

I easily get 8 1/2 hours with heavy usage. With moderate, who knows what. I'm running a custom kernel and a custom rom though.

Golden Epics ftw! I had one before going to the Evo.
As for the camera, the Epic's is better, but trust me, Froyo and custom settings makes the Evo's camera more than sufficient for stuff like desktop wallpaper, photo sharing, etc. I was one of the Evo camera bashers back when I got rid of my first in early July, but now that I have it again, I'm more than impressed. I don't get the blue-speckle effect in the sky anymore. That part alone made me hate the camera.
Anyways, Software goes to EVO and hardware goes to Epic IMO. Gaming is good enough on the Evo, so that sealed the deal for me, but for flawless gaming, the Epic is better.
