Reason for Epic Delay?

[showmrock]

I just hope it releases soon and without any major issues like some of the HTC phones being released

OK... read the fine print on the link that you sent...

"Opening in theaters August 27, this film is rated R. Going the Distance stars Drew Barrymore and Justin Long as a bi-coastal couple who gamely navigate the pitfalls of long distance love with the help of some 21st century technology. Also making a star turn in the film are two of our featured Sprint phones - the popular new Blackberry and the LG Rumor 2"

What does this have to do with the Epic? Shouldn't it be mentioned if it is being featured in that movie?

I posted that two hours ago. I don't understand the correlation between the two either. You would think they would want product placement.

I don't see what the big deal is with this. I don't think the phone having a movie tie-in has anything to do with the actual release date. It would make more sense to have the phone out before the movie anyway, that way people who hear about it can just go to their local sprint store and pick one up, not have to get on the internet and research the release date.

Just because they wanted some extra publicity for the phone by tying it in with a movie doesn't, to me, necessarily demand that they hold off until the movie is released before the phone can be.

If it is a Mid September release...those with October upgrades will be happy

I can use my upgrade as of the first of the month. I wish the phone came out in 2 days, but since it's unlikely I'm stuck with my hero, who change I was loathing until I downloaded a 2.2 rom where everything works. I'm going to try to refrain from flashing anything else so I can break myself from sense. I've made myself find Widgets that weren't repulsive, but displayed useful info. For example, accuweather is nice and useful (yes I'm too lazy to go outside to find out). I think I can find an Evolution locally, but I don't particularly like it. I used to, but I feel that its just like my hero, but faster. I'm just bored with sense, too much stuff I don't use, like scenes. And I hate the keyboard. Plus, I want to try mobile gaming. Damnit sprint, I hope the delay and pissed off nerds was worth the Hollywood promotion.

studentrate.com already has a deal going for the Epic - so the release can't be too far off, right?
