after doing more research and no responses to my post after it was moved into the sprint section of the forums i talked to sprint customer service and was unable to replace epic with evo 3d.. no big deal since im not all that in love with it. last night i researched sprints android phones available to me for replacement... evo, nexus, exprt, echo, shift. ive had the evo previously for a month and returned it for the epic when it was released so no need to go for seconds. exprt was interesting for what it is, dont really need business type software for phone, dont plan on going out of u.s., batt. life was appealing, screen size was sub-par after owning evo and epic, nexus s was pretty much everything the epic was without kb, newer version of android among other features and cleanliness that ended up getting my final vote for replacement. so far im very happy with it. i have a full upgrade due in june12 if im ready for something different by then. ill update later in the week with other comparisions hopefully all positive and no gripes. no need to go into echo and shift....
