Anyone else hate the Epic 4G touch name?

[alnova1]

For some reason I hate the Epic name attached to it. I know its Sprints way of putting there label on it but it sucks IMO. Before it came out and I would go to the Shack or Bestbuy to ask if they would have it they would say either what?..or yes its right here and lead me to the Epic 4G. Excuse me if this has been posted before or your offended...I have been at a birthday party and I have Vodka in me...SGII!!!

I was so excited about the hardware and how much Samsung has changed (especially the circumstances of the development of this hardware/software versus the original) that I didn't even think about it...

...but when someone asks me what my new phone is I just flip the back to them and tell them "Galaxy s2", not like saying "Sprint's Samsung Galaxy S-II Epic Touch 4G" would mean any more to them.

This is true...Just for some reason hate the Epic part of it but when people ask me what phone i have I will do like you and flip it to the back and say "Galaxy S II"

Agreed. Granted this phone is actually rather epic in nature. The last Epic didn't seem so, well epic... This one is epic out of the box and we've got an exciting development community already that I'm sure will be epic, for various reasons.

That said, I've got my dongle jig on the way, priority shipping....which costs nearly 4 times more than the jig, lol...

I guess I may have to invest in this. The only Sprint Samsung phone I have had was the Nexus and I really liked the phone. Camera was good..fast and actually for SD quality video it was very good. Never had a problem with it.

True! The name is so unoriginal and lame. I wish Samsung would also get rid of the Galaxy prefix from ALL their devices. Kind of annoying.

Its not Galaxy name that bothers me it the whole Epic 4g Touch..The original Epic was a touch..it was 4g..like I said earlier in my post, I don't like the name but when you been to a birthday party and been drinking vodka...seems thing are worse than they probably are...

Beats being called "within" which it almost did.

I agree except this forum...Epic 4G Touch General...Bastards!

I call my phone "Chuck Norris".

I call my phone "Chuck Norris".

I never thought about that...i name mine "huge member"...

 

[Silent25r]

I hate the name as well.. not as much as hated within... so it was an improvement. This phone is nothing like the epic. Touch screen phone with sg1 specs was epic compared to the other carriers.

This new epic is lacking that. I think they will use the epic like Verizon uses droid.

Samsung looked at Sprint and said no... just no.. call it what you want but your not getting it if you put that anywhere on it.

Well with Verizon they had to pay Lucas to use that name, so I'd milk it for every penny too if I were Verizon. Also I understand the concept of brand recognition by keeping "Epic", but still Epic 4g Touch is a horrible name.

I either call mine Galaxy S2 (since as others have pointed out its freaking emblazened on the back), or "Enterprise D" as its a huge Galaxy-class that looks surprising thin from the side.

What the hell is wrong with people, who cares. This is the only phone that has like twenty thousand names, you can literally call it so many things and pple know what you're talking about. You can use it's absolutely full name and called it, Sprint's Samsung Epic 4g Touch, call it the Galaxy S II, call it the ET4G, call it the hottest phone in the motherfuckin world right now abbriviated to hpmfwrn. I call it GS II or ET4G. What is important tho is the only case in the world where the Exynos processor meets a 4.52 inch screen. The only instance in the world where that happens. The ET4G is pure perfection. Call it pure perfection if you want.

I've read all these posts, and I must say that the obvious answer is calling it this:

The 3VO.

Nah, just kidding....

(how retarded does that sound, lol....)

I'll go with the SGS2.

ohhh, you got me man. I don't know if you were trolling for me specifically (because I was rather vocal about my complete hatred for people calling the HTC EVO 3D a "three-voh") but goddamn man that was hilarious.

Lol, no buddy, not you (btw, nice to see you) .... Just a quick jab at the retards in our threads that stuck with that ridiculous name.

That alone embarrassed me.

I had a newly-hired co-worker say this to me a few days ago:

"Omygosh, is that a 3VO???"

It took every ounce of my being not to just pummel him right in the face.

Epic 4g touch?? What's that. I have the Galaxy S 2. That's all I know.
