Ive been wanting the Galaxy s2 for months, but now that Verizon isnt getting it, Im gonna check out the Droid Bionic on the 8th, but if I dont like what I see Im switching to Sprint & getting this phone. Period.

@MsVicki1973 Might want to hold-up on that.There is an LTE Verizon of the Samsung Galaxy S II coming, was announced at IFA two days ago.

[MsVicki1973]

@booredatwork Really? Do you know how long it will be? & where can I read more about that?

[booredatwork]

@MsVicki1973 would say about a month. you can search my site booredatwork com for more on the story

Will they make a new epic 4g with a key bord...please tell me YES...

mikhailtessier1 I would wait for reviews of the Epic Touch - hopefully it will be much better as a phone than the EVO 3D. I have the 3D and will trade it soon for something that works better as a phone. The 3D is a great PDA but sucks donkey balls as a phone. My old Sprint HTC phone worked great as aphone but this one drops calls and people are frequently asking me to repeat myself saying I'm garbled.

[ToonLinkMaster25]

All the hands-on reviews for this are EXACTLY the same! wtf

[mikhailtessier1]

Hey what do u guys think i have the EVO 3d and returning it and getting either the Motorola photon or the epic touch Idk which one

[jaysong87]

@booredatwork Really? thought verizon confirmed their not getting the GS2 instead their gonna get the Droid Prime from Samsung (which is like a beefed GS2, like the Nexus Prime)

[TheRaceforTech]
