Samsung Galaxy S II....Epic Touch 4g

At this moment, the only thing negative I have to say about this device so far is the cumbersome name...Is it really necessary to have seven (SEVEN!) different parts in a single name for a phone? Not according to Samsung.



For those unfamiliar with the...SGSIIET4G (Even as an acronym, it's still a monster of a name), this phone is the latest of Samsung's galaxy phone series, and as such, is quite the beast in performance sporting a beefy dual-core 1.2ghz processor and 1GB of RAM.

What's always annoyed me most about phones is how ridiculously fast they manage to get outdated, but this is to be expected with the rate of technological increase. I always enjoy having a top-of-the-line product, and with the release of the GSII, my Evo 3D is that much closer to being a thing of the past. Unfortunately, I'm bound to this device for another two years, but as long as it holds up and keeps receiving software updates, I'm completely fine with keeping it.

Back to the rate of phone upgrading: even just two years ago, the top dog of phones on the market were phones like the HTC Hero and the Iphone 3g...quite a step back in terms of software and hardware. The ability of having Flash 10.1 on your own handheld phone? Unheard of. Back then, the Iphone was the phone to have (and some people would still argue it still is), and now, Apple has Android to compete with. Android seemingly came up from nowhere, and took the phone world by storm, developing hundreds of new devices with large varieties to choose from. Want a phone with a full QWERTY keyboard? Done. Or maybe one with a 4.3" screen? Accounted for. With Apple and iOS, your only choice is the current generation of the already technologically behind Iphone.
