Wirefly, the dudes with all the cool toys have put together a nice little “Schmackdown” between the Sprint EVO Shift 4G and the Sprint Samsung Epic 4G. This is the battle of the Sprint 4G slide out keyboards and as you know the Shift is the most recent to the Spring line up. Check out the video below if you are having a hard time picking between these two devices!

KEY DIFFERENCES
  • Display: One difference between the Samsung Epic 4G and the HTC EVO Shift is the display. The EVO Shift has a 3.6-inch LCD display, while the Epic 4G has a four-inch Super AMOLED screen considered to be one of the best cell phone screens. Both clock in with identical resolution of 480 x 800 pixels.
  • Operating system: The Samsung Epic 4G runs Android 2.1, which has proved both functional and stable. However, the HTC EVO Shift runs Android 2.2, which offers greater speed and better compatibility with Adobe Flash content than Android 2.1.

  • Keyboard:
    Both the HTC EVO Shift and the Samsung Epic 4G have physical slide-out keyboards. The Epic 4G has five rows of keys, including an always-accessible row of numbers. The HTC EVO Shift’s keyboard has four rows of keys and requires a press of a “function” key to access numbers and other symbols.
