Sprint Epic Vs iPhone 4: Samsung Galaxy S Pro Is The iPhone 4 Killer
Apple has managed to sell more than a million handset within first three days, and we are expecting iPhone 4 to maintain its popularity chart despite serious antenna problems. Currently the only other alternative to the mighty iPhone 4 has been Sprint’s HTC EVO, but a new smartphone from Sprint is now threatening the HTC EVO dominance as an iPhone 4 alternative. Sprint Epic which is originally a Samsung Galaxy S Pro is going to change the whole mobile experience. It is a 4G handset with AMOLED 4” display and much more unique features. The Sprint Epic can benefit from Android 2.2 and the iPhone 4 hardware flaws and but will it be able to kill the iPhone? Let’s follow the comparison chart to compare both these handsets.

this is totally biased…and not informative at all. they are both very good phones and deserve the features to be listed truthfully….epic fail on ur part.
Ha. This is laughable. Why do you hate Apple so much? Most of your comparative “facts” are completely untrue. Other than your obvious need to publish slander-ridden false information, let’s not forget the most important thing. Without Apple’s innovation, Samsung would still be making flip-phones, and so would everyone else. Go find a Droid forum and text-stroke all your hater friends.
They both have their pros. We know the con’s of the iphone 4, but no cons on the epic…yet….being so new. Most ALL phone on the market have their pros and cons and what it should come down to is the following: what feature are you looking for, how does it feel in your hand, will it do what you want for your personal/business use, and most importantly the SERVICE PROVIDER….. remember…you will be with them for the next 2 years (IT IS A COMMITMENT or it will COST you big $) and one more thing …does it fit your budget!!!!
I went to ATT and compared both phones epic blew it away
speed and picture, Apple steals ideas then markets it like
they invented it for example the I-pad, their Marketing dept
really knows how to keep making you drink the kool aid,
next time you are with a friend who is on Sprint or Verizon
test it out ATT loses every time, do your research then comment,
dont just follow the masses.
I have the epic, it’s a great phone, no doubt that epic has it’s flaws but so does apple, bill gates worked for macintosh and stole the idea for the operating system, every O.S. has it’s perks, pick and choose
the epic has a snapdragon processor not the hummingbird however both processors are great. reviewing all of the hate comments above, i see nothing that says “get an epic over iphone” or anything like that but after reviewing many many sites for myself wondering if i should stay with sprint or get an iphone, i have found that on a side by side comparison with both phones, all review give the epic and the evo at least .5-1 stars over the iphone with review to all specs and ease of access of each phone.
correction on previous post. The hummingbird processor is now the current processor for Samsung epic. It was changed on early release. I apologize for my mistake.
Hi, i must say fantastic {blog|site|website} you have, i stumbled across it in {Google|Yahoo|Bing|AOL}. Do you get much traffic?…
Just thought i would comment and say neat theme, did you code it yourself? Looks great….
I have an iPhone 4 and have had all of the iPhone models. After using one for so many years, I have watched all of my friends buy these immitation iPhones and have every problem under the sun from network problems to screen freeze problems. I just sit back and laugh as I never experience these issues. One guy I know went thru 9 models of an HTC phone while he bitched about the iPhone the whole time. Yet I’ve never sent my phone back. The bottom line is, if you want an iPhone, just get the original iPhone from the people who created it.
