Evo 3D vs Samsung Galaxy S II

I like the specs on the sg24gtouch, bigger screen-yes. But my contract isn't done till june. Will likely have an option of quad core processor with ics, super duper amoled and jet pack.

The word "Samsung" in mobile devices should be scary, here's my experience with a try and try again finally giving up on them forever:

1.  Samsung flip, forgot the name, had a black smoke face that was smooth and was a great phone, about 8-9 months in started randomly dropping calls while going from tower to tower (mainly while driving).  Eventually got worse..

2.  Samsung Instinct: What a POS, the thing had the worst touch interface, never got any apps and was generally faulty and slow.

3.  Samsung Moment: Sprint & Samsung denial city.  They went on and on in store about how there was no such CDMA lockup issue, even when shown.  I had a tech go "never heard of it" and he wouldn't google it infront of me when I told him to.  Every single Moment was plagued with the CDMA lockup just a matter of when and how.  Luckily mine only did it with wifi on, but that meant wifi could never be used.  Awesome, thanks.

4.  Samsung Epic:  Where do I begin?  The physical keyboard misses keystrokes since 2.1, it took rooters to fix it and to this day (well, 3 days ago when I last used it before getting my Evo 3D) it still did it on 2.3.5, also the latest update reduces the number of satellites locked onto to "save battery life" thus creating massive GPS issues reported all over by users.  Not to mention the random reboots throughout every version of Android.  Also not to mention the release of 2.2 and 2.3 being 8+ months behind everyone else while getting a bloated interface with spyware and bloatware galore (see carrier iq).

This is just off the top of my head, and not one of these issues was specific to me, you'll find it all over the net.  Already seeing someone mentioning wifi and reception issues with the Galaxy S II makes me laugh.  When the Sprint rep came on the phone giving me a very good offer on the phone resetting my upgrade eligibility along with other bill credits she asked what phone I was interested in.  I said "Something NOT a Samsung, most likely the HTC Evo 3D", she said "well I know you said not Samsung, but the Galaxy S II is a nice phone" I said "I don't care, it like every Samsung I used will probably have faults" and sure enough I just read about some already cropping up.  They do very little if any testing at all, don't care about the customer, and will go on boasting about their phones on FB advertising raffles for a free one, how great it is, yadda yadda.  Samsung, keep your worthless phones to yourself!

Unfortunately synthetic worthless benchmarks like Quadrant don't rate in your phone wasting your time with reboots, crashes, and other annoyances...if they did every Samsung would be rated a few hundred at best.

Boy, they just love shooting themselves in the foot, don't they?

Yeah, def.

Same old Samsung...12 pages of complaints already, a lot of patterns already developing.  I smell Galaxy Epic part 2.
