    Sprint Epic 4G

    Yes you can use facetime over 3g but my point was the Galaxy phones can do video conferencing over both 3g/4g and wifi also. Facetime does not work over wifi.

    Prototypes

    Sounds interesting. Depending on the size of the device I would definitely be able to test it at home (have a house full of kids and a dog) and at work (I work at a College). How do I sign up? I'm profoundly deaf since age 5 from a bout with spinal meningitis.

    I'm interested. What type of devices?

    Sprint Epic 4G

    Yes Facetime is better, but it uses a lot more bandwidth! Maybe thats why ATT's network is so slow ;) Also, Facetime does not work over WiFi so unless you have a good signal it doesnt work very well. I work in an area where ATT has no 3G yet and the FaceTime app took a good 4 minutes to sync the...

    HTC evo 4g vs. Samsung Epic 4g

    No, this is not correct. I dont know what settings the reviewer is using but my Epic frames the camera fullscreen. Edit: Now I see, the reviewer is using the self-shot mode which uses the front-facing camera. That does make the frame smaller due to the Epic having a 0.3 mp front camera vs...

    Vibrate mode on mobilephone

    I'll vouch for the Droid (original one) as well. My boss has one and set it on her desk when I was in a meeting with her. I definitely felt it vibrating at the end of the desk when it went off. I have zero experience with the Droid 2, Droid X or Droid Incredible tho. The Epic also has a great...

    Sprint Epic 4G

    Yes, they both have 1500mAh batteries. I have my Epic! Ive played with it for 10 minutes and am very happy with it already. TechBill is absolutely right, once you get used to swype you feel like the keyboard isnt really necessary! Swype rocks! The keyboard is still nice to have for some...

    Sprint Epic 4G

    Check out the Trillian for Android beta. I used the blackberry version and there is minimal battery drain. My friend tried the android version and said battery usage is very comparable to the stock IM.. very low. The one problem right now is that it disconnects a lot, probably because its still...

    Sprint Epic 4G

    Great, thank you for the information. If i can get 6 hours with heavy usage and 9 hours with moderate usage I will be more than happy. As I posted earlier, I ordered two batteries and a charger on ebay so I can always swap them out as needed. I'll let you know if its any good if you are...

    Sprint Epic 4G

    That is because the iphone uses retina display. The white background battery drain issue is an OLED issue. Check out the following PDF on page 15 for a comparision of white, red, blue, green. White uses 330% more power because all the subpixels must be turned on...

    Sprint Epic 4G

    What is your approximate battery life I'm curious? Does it last you all day without needing a charge? Another thing that can drain the battery fast is a lot of web browsing. This is why the Epic has a separate brightness setting for the browser. The color white uses up a lot of power and the...

    Sprint Epic 4G

    Sprint emailed me today and said my Epic order is in and the phone will be here tomorrow! I'm excited! I just hope Earl does not interfere with the overnight air. I found a 2 battery and quick charger kit on ebay for $10 and bought it. People have been buying them for their EVO and said the...

    Vibrate mode on mobilephone

    Would you happen to have an iphone? I set up quite a few iphones for people at work and noticed that the vibe is VERY weak. I had it in my pocket testing it and I missed several notifications while doing so. I have an Epic 4G on the way to me and I've read at least one review that says it...

    Sprint Epic 4G

    Yes, because of the fact they cant even get the order in until around Thursday. Mine was supposed to be placed today and shipped overnight (corporate account) but they have had all kinds of issues. I really hope I get it by Friday. One thing that does concern me however is that I'm seeing a...

    Sprint Epic 4G

    I played with one at the Sprint store as well, its an awesome phone. I already have my order in via the Sprint Relay Store but I was given bad news today. Relay Store orders are not going to be submitted until Thursday because reps are having an issue getting the orders into Sprint's system...
