dev997 62 Report post Posted January 26, 2011 hi all !!! I'm a newbie here and have very little knowledge of RCDMA service altough i use RGSM. I'm looking forward to buy Epic 4g fro hitesh hambarde with RCDMA as i really loved the phone specs and reviews. But i have a few queries : 1> Is RCDMA service so bad that many subsribers are dumping it using MNP. Also Is it possible to use MNP to get any GSM operator for this phone if anything goes south. 2> Is there any performance or connectivity issues with this phone using RCDMA, especially using internet. Please provide me any advice you have about this deal as i'm going fr it in next week. thank you dev Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Arun 795 Report post Posted January 27, 2011 1) No, it isn't that bad and many are switching so that they can get access to a wider variety of GSM handsets than CDMA handsets. Since you are getting a top-of-the-chart CDMA handset that shouldn't be a problem. No you cannot switch to a GSM operator with the same handset later. 2) I haven't heard of any issues and many I know are using it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Harshal 11 Report post Posted January 29, 2011 One biiig complaint with the Epic. The battery drains like anything. Half a day is all I get. I am always on the lookout for a recharge oppurtunity. I am a super lite phone user. May be medium data, but that's also not too much. Does any one feel the need to keep a back up battery, I am kind a tempted in getting one after being left high and dry couple of times now. Is nobody else facing this issue?

SumitVerma 187 Report post Posted January 31, 2011 @ Harshal Dear, thats a news for me. People say HTC is having worst battery life and samsung is really good with it. Could you please tell whats your use range? (Extreme, Moderate, Low) and your data/wifi connection use. Could also be a reason as I have read other places, location of phone near two towers which switches from one tower to another more frequently. Might help gurus to solve out your issues.
