Pros

Amazingly fast performance all around.
High quality camera and camcorder with 1080p.
Good call quality.
4.5” Super AMOLED Plus is easy on the eyes.
Just 9.6mm thin and 4.5oz light.
One of the better smartphone cameras.
Big screen is fantastic for games and videos.
TouchWiz 4.0 UI is a huge improvement from past versions.

Cons

WVGA display resolution, resulting in 206 ppi.
No dedicated camera key.
Small volume rocker.
TouchWiz doesn’t hurt the phone’s performance, but we could do without it.
Battery life is a drag.
Onscreen keyboard is difficult to type on in portrait mode.
Will go in a pocket, but doesn’t exactly “fit” in a pocket.
Plasticky build.
Slow network data.
Voice performance doesn't stand out.
HDMI out requires an adapter.
Lots of bloatware/preloaded apps.

I must say I struggled to come up with valid Cons (other than the odd GPS issue which we are still investigating) for this outstanding device. Since I'm not a heavy world traveler (or really a world traveler at all), the GSM capabilities are less of...

The Samsung Galaxy S II Epic 4G Touch is the smartphone equivalent of a runway model. It’s gorgeous to look at. It’s a bit larger than life, yet still maintains a trim figure. And it has a name so long you need to take a gulp of air when...
