Replacement Epic - Epic 4G General

Hello all, I'm from over at the shift section lol and no I'm not trolling. I was wanting to see if ANYONE has an extra epic, or if anyone has an epic they don't want anymore. I'm trying to find one VERY reasonably priced. The condition doesn't matter as long as it works and the screen is better than decent. Someone please help me out here I'm dying to have that samoled and used my damn upgrade on the shift.

Sorry bub, I love my Samsung Epic. I am running it with Gingerbread. You know what the best thing is some dude is working on port HTC Sense to the Samsung Epic. Dude you are screwed. Try posting an ad on craigslist too, if you have not already done this. You might find some sucker who has the Samsung Epic with Enclair. You can probably tell them that your phone is better because it has a better operating system or some crap that that. Good luck they say a sucker is born every minute.
P.S. Maybe this person might possibly sell you his Epic: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1086880

I think you should try BestBuy, they're giving out Epics for FREE w/ new contract/upgrade. Buying an unactivated used one can cost quite a bit still. Might as wel grab yourself a new one.

I sold my Vibrant.

I put it up on eBay for slightly above the average selling price. When I put the phone up, the phone was still running stock. Recently I put Nero on it and started to like it, but then woke up and bam, it was gone =\
I'll be back!
Congrats. I just ordered another phone and my brother will take the vibrant off my hands for $350 next Friday. He's phone-illiterate so it wont matter to him.

I have a guy at work waiting to buy my Vibrant for $300. I just need to find a suitable alternative (waiting for a decent Gingerbread phone)
Excellent. May I suggest the highly useless, unmoddable Windows 7 phones to each of you as replacements? One of you really *should* get the variant with the extra large concert like speakers...
Bubye!

Yeah, I'm sure that's how someone would stick it to Samsung, sell their phone for less than half of what it's supposedly worth and then can't buy another phone.... If you're that dumb you deserved to be screwed by Samsung!
If you are up for an upgrade through sprint then I believe that the epic is selling on amazon for $99. Not sure if it works with an upgrade or if it is only for new customers but it might be worth checking out
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App
I would consider a trade... Only for a pristine, mint evo... Black, not white
Ill have to look at amazon for that, and if already had the evo I wouldn't be trying to get an epic though I would trade if I did, I like the epic more lol I wouldn't want the black evo ne way white is so much better IMO

With all the angry people on this site you should be able to find someone. But, If they sell their phone what would they have to complain about anymore. I'm just puzzled why they didn't take their phones back within the 30 day refund period? Well good luck. I hope you read all the threads before you buy one so you know what your getting. I have eb13 and my phone runs great. I still think this is the best phone I have had so far. Just my $.02
Yeah I hear its a great phone, and its everything I want in a phone, great size all around awesome keyboard brilliant display, all that, granted Samsung might not be the best, but they can make a damn sexy phone and to the amazing Guy, my upgrade is in November, and thru radioshack its 150 so ill prolly have to wait till then, unless I can find a better deal,

New phone trade in...

Hey guys, I've been wondering about something recently. Does anyone know sprint's policy on phone exchanges? Basically, I have an epic and this is my 3rd replcement phone which is STILL going crazy. I was wondering since this is my 3rd phone should I try waiting till the nexus s 4g comes out to replace with that since its a "similar phone"? Or should I just exchange now for whatever? Thanks
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App
slim and no chance of exchanging it for a nexus imho. they will just change it out for another epic
Its like a crazy number of replacements before they will give you a new one, let alone upgrade. Doesn't hurt to tty though. I have better luck when calling
Sent from my PC36100 using Tapatalk
What I would do is go ahead and take it in and get a replacement. Hopefully the next one won't go all crazy on you. Then, if you really want the Nexus S, when it comes out, sell your Epic and use that money to put towards the Nexus.
There is no comparable replacement to the Epic (yet), so you'll keep getting Epics if they are exchanged. Nexus S will not be comparable.

Doesn't matter... Sprints not going to just give you one of there next top phones to replace an older supposed top of the line that did live up to its potential. Not with out a fight at least.
As one of the other relies stated it takes a lot of trade ins before they would offer you a different phone.
It took me 8 Treo 800w's(3 in one visit) and about a weeks worth of calling customer services and retentions before they finally gave me a Treo Pro as a replacement.
They even wanted me to use my early upgrade about a month early. I did get to stick of to them a month later... used my upgrade to get the Pre(lol) and sold the Pro for 300$.

Farewell epic

Just wanted to say goodbye to the epic 4g. I recently traded my epic for a nexus s 4g, and I couldn't be happier. I wanted to say thanks to all the great devs that made the epic what it should have been out of the box. My decision was confirmed for me when my wife's LG Optimus s got an ota gingerbread update the other day! Before the epic! Crazy! For me its all nexus phones from now on. There will be some features that I miss from touchwiz, but for the performance and update trade off, I'd gladly go vanilla android. Thanks again for everyone who made the epic an awesome phone!

Pretty ****ty that my niece just got a new Android through METRO PCS (probably the worst provider in the U.S.), and she has Gingerbread. Glad I paid all of this money for something treated like a red headed step-phone.
Disgusted with Samsung beyond belief. What is taking so long to release this? It looks like they are working on it, but I don't understand what is taking so long. Not that I am available for an upgrade right now, but even if I were, there is nothing out there that I really want right now (QWERTY is something I really want).

What's a good phone for messing around?

I noticed the Nexus S is cheap and alright but wondering if there are any other ones. Not trying to replace mine but to have fun with and do other stuff. I can buy a Nexus S for about 75$ barely been used. But what about the HTC Evo Shift? Any tips Is appreciated.
I dont want older phones haha, nothing more than 100$.
I dont want to add a new line or activate any phone.
Not too interested in tablets. Something that still isn't too dead and is over-clockable as the Epic if not better.

I'd probably say the Nexus, only due to the nature of it getting updates and more open space for customization.

That was the issue with the Sammy Moment i even talked to Samsung and they realized it was their fault and non-user related that it forced into a data lockup and FCC states that a phone must at all times be able to call 911. and yaadada big story but anyways is there any other phones you guys think thats reasonable and good to like the Nexus S? i was thinking of the Shift?
lol.. easy there guys.. i was joking (name IS PvtJoker afterall) I was laughing cause my moment is sitting on my desk under a nice veil of dust. If i had to pick a random phone just to play with, nexus s would be my pick too.

The nexus s is a developer phone that you root with adb. The droid is locked down and 100 % unrootable (in theory. It is rootable but it is hard to.. It is locked down like the iphone) .
