Got to play with an epic today!

I work at the sprint store in legacy village mall in ohio. one of my superiors was in today and brought along an epic the company gave him.. I was quite impressed. Got a few hours hands on. Camera looks much better than evo in low light but I think the evo deals with white balance better. Also the camera app for the epic has some cool options like panoramic shots. Screen looks great as it should. One thing I didn't like was the keyboard. Much like engadget said, its too flat. I had a hard time quickly typing on it. the epic is also about the same thickness as my evo (with body glove case) which impressed me for a qwerty slider. Would like it better if the width and length were a bit smaller. its like holding an evo with a smaller screen so no bonus points there.

Overall, very solid phone. Not gonna trade my evo for it though.

I was thinking the keyboard looks a tad flat for MY tastes, but it still is the best keyboard on any high end phone.

Its MUCH better than the Droid/Droid2 keyboard which is hardly anything more than non-existant buttons which I absolutely hate.

I think the EVO is great. But not as awesome as the Epic!

I would never say that after dealing with a Touch Pro 2 and it's super flat and spaced out keyboard. I HATED every minute of it. The best keyboard I've played with recently has the be the one on the CLIQ but it's obviously not high-end.

Disagreeing with you there the touch pro 2 keyboard is fantastic and the epics keyboard looks almost identical in the design. if the epic has the same type of click as the touch pro 2 it will be such an easy transition and awesome keyboard.

If having the best gpu does not matter to you then I would never change a evo for a epic.

Have you really seen the Droid2 keyboard? I'm not going to get a droid2, but wow, that was the best keyboard i've ever seen/felt. With raised rubbery keys, it was like a mini typewriter for my thumbs.
