What I like about EPIC -
- Absolute Multimedia Monster (Screen and Sound is unmatchable; I have to lower volumes for my Ringtones first time on any phone)
- Base 4 icons of the default Samsung launcher
- Desk Home App
- Front Facing Camera (missing on my Incredible)
- Great sliding keyboard (the best on any phone as on date)
- Great 5MP camera with Flash (night photography is better than the 8MP of Incredible)
- Looks great in hand (blows all phones away); Its the Fortuner that I always desired... will trample all the Marutis.... like this phone will trounce all iphone 4's, W7's and N8's.... LOL
- Accessory bundle is better in terms of 5.1 surround Heaphones (while playing movies through headphones)
- Dedicated Camera Button (sorely missed on Incredible)
- Superb call Quality and Tower strength
- Great DOCK (costs about 2.5-3K extra)
What I dislike -
- Poor GPS (update: nearly there now)
- Hard soft keys (update: have gotten better with use)
- Bulk (twice as fat than Incredible)
- HTC Sense interface was better (update: have since updated to Launcher Pro Plus which absolutely rocks)
- Lack of Android 2.2 for now (update: now available)
I got update notification and did the update to DI18 from the DI07 that was on the phone after activating my number by *228
It took me less than 30 minutes to transfer all my contacts, applications, sms's etc. into this new phone. Thats the joy of Android OS; no tears while changing phones.
