I just realized there is one feature missing on the E4GT, the physical camera button
Not enough to stop me from buying it, but blah.
I didn't even know the international version had a physical camera button

International version is irrelevant. They changed the button layout (4 capacitive buttons vs 3 button) the screen size, the notification light... they coulda tossed in a camera button!

I've never used the dedicated camera button on any of my phones that had it. I actually forget that its there most of the time.

will this phone blow away the evo 3d and photon 4g? is the samsung processor better for gaming then what the evo 3d uses, and is it better then tegra 2?

I wouldn't say it "blows them away" but There's a lot of things noticeably better like browsing and scrolling through menus and pinch-to-zoom is way smoother than the EVO 3D and Photon from what I've seen.
When it comes to gaming you probably won't ever notice a difference between the 3, except that since the Photon is Tegra 2 it has a lot of exclusive games. (even though the Epic Touch's processor blows it away) but if you root your phone and use Chainfire 3D, you will be able to play most of them.

Sprint has a really solid line up. I really think they're overlooked.

I wonder if there is an app that can change the power button to a shutter button during camera/camcorder mode.
I know its possible to remap buttons on Windows Mobile, but I'm not sure if anyone developed an app for Android.

What's a physical camera button?
I've gotten used to not have a camera button thanks to my Evo.

Physical camera buttons are awesome. Especially when you have a limited timeframe to get your camera open (quick shots)... saves you from fumbling around your screens trying to find the app

agreed - love my dedicated camera buttom to both start up the camera app and take pics. i'm still undecided on my next phone, but lack of camera button won't be a show stopper.

Plus if it's a bright sunny day it can be hard to find that icon at all. I love the button on my Epic.

Pssh! This is a Super Amoled+ display, you could see that icon from a mile away in bright sunlight with the brightness at 30%!

Did we really need a chart to figure that out?
No, but I know a lot of people didn't know the differences between the two.
