Yes he's right, I have 2 knockoff 3500's and 2 seidio 3500's...tbh I really can't tell the difference between the 4. But for me to give you my honest word, I would say get a seidio...
Ill take a look at it. Thanks everyone for your replies. Gonna most likely order one tonight. Any chance you guys know if seidio makes one with the white back? And already running the exact kernal you specified lol.
EDIT: OK so is the knock off worth 10 dollars? Meaning will it last longer than stock, I did not realize that the seidio was so expensive.

I don't think its worth 60 bucks, its pretty much the same as the 16 dollar Amazon batteries with the cover why spend 60 bucks on that junk.

Just cause its branded by sprint doesn't make it better than the Chinese one lol. I can assure the "sprint" branded battery was probably made in China as well lol. The branded one can fail just like the Chinese battery, only thing better about the "sprint" branded one is that you can walk back in the store to get your money back vs having to ship it back.

Let me throw in my two cents... I use work at radioshack when I was three a dumb phone battery standard ran over 70 bucks however cost was less then a buck no joke. Name means nothing only thing maybe less hassle. However batteries are explosive in nature it happens with or without name brands

I figure if I get the 20 dollar one and it does what I need it to do I'm fine and if it stops working or something I'm only out 20 bucks. At some point I might buy the 60 dollar one, but ill give the cheap one a shot.

If you're going to buy what is still one of the top of the line phones out there why are you going to go cheap on the battery? They're all a rip off anyways, mine as well get an oem one so you can get it replaced for free if it goes bad. Just don't overcharge it or you mine as well just get the cheap one.
in my opinion the yoobao 3000mah is the best extended battery and I've tried them all.

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.

the wife has one. it's no better than the Epic, imo. i'd fear that the capacitive buttons wouldn't hold up. It looks like they're in the same GB limbo. I don't know who started that rumor. Also, their biggest dev is a known kanger. I chased him off from the Galaxy Tab 10.1 forum when he was begging users to buy him a Tab so he would be so kind as to dev for us. Sorry, we have Task, pershoot and PhantomHacker who run circles around his copy and paste devving.

I see lots of things on androidcentral.com that make me browse elsewhere. The guy that made gymmicharge moved on. It's supported and fine, but no better than anything on our phone. Danalo1979 might be a reasonable dev but he truly kanged off of gummi and had to apologize to the whole forum to avoid or come back from ban. He also had to actually write a real rom and the original us still marked.

For now, I'm going to run stock for a couple months to give the development community some time to cook up some awesomeness.

What case are you planning on buying? My sister wants to put on a cell phone charm as well, but the only cases that have a cutout for the lanyard are Samsung cases that we've found so far.
Actually...I liked "Take over the world"
Buying more accessories for it than I need. Cables, cases, batteries, chargers, screen protectors, etc... till I figure out which ones I like best and use most often, then the rest will stay in a box as spares.

Picking up a GS3 from Verizon tomorrow. Sad to leave this awesome Sprint community and my first smartphone that actually lasted me the entire length of the contract. Also kinda sad that I'm gonna have to keep track of data and hope for workarounds with the Verizon version of the device. But I'll be saving money by jumping back onto my family plan (now that they all have data too, only gonna cost me $40 instead of $75 by myself on Sprint) and the improved signal and service should be nice as well. Thanks to all the developers and members here for doing some AWESOME stuff with the Epic 4G for sure!
I have a fun fact for you "upgraders". Your S3 is going to be new, shiny, and exciting. For us late bloomers who got the epic a year after you did, well, let's just say the LTE quad cores with unreleased swag and EPIC upgrades will make you butthurt. So there!!!!! Yes, I might be an idiot.

LMAO!!! thanks for your honesty dude
I got my white price matched with absolutely no issues, try it out... also I am returning the s III and waiting out for the Photon Q ... I thought I could do without the keyboard, but I miss it too much. I am not as productive with the virtual keyboard as I am with a regular keyboard. It's not even that the VK is soo bad, but I am more likely to put off things like enter calendar dates and take notes and reminders because it is more of a hassle than with a physical keyboard. It was also a bit too big for me to comfortably use with one hand.
Bottom line is if you are thinking about switching but are attached to the keyboard, you may want to wait for a little longer to see if another slider comes out. I think a 4.3" slider with a 720p screen would be absolutely perfect.
I just played with the GS3 and I have to say it doesn't feel as solid in hand as the gnex, gs2, and especially the evo lte. However, it seemed the most fluid of them all.
