have you noticed difference in speed between the two?

I'm on the fence right now as to whether to go trade the MoPho in for a Sammy. Last Sammy I had was the Moment, so you can understand the hesitation...lol.

it's on par with my previous E3D's and NS4G, not like that's any compliment.

This thing is killer at locking onto even a weak 3G signal though.

I wonder if there is a battery-chugging mode like on the E3D...I'm not sure if that was HTC's idea or not. Hard to tell, looked like a optional stock component. It helped a ton, but, at the expense of your battery.

bars dont really tell you much...

this has been well documented that cellphone manufacturers are always changing how many bars = how many dB.

It's annoying, to say the least.

If I am not mistaken the epic 4g only had a wireless G card where epic touch 4g has an N card. If you are broadcasting both aka your router has N and G then its going to auto connect to the N signal. N is faster but has a shorter range.
