Introduction
We've been waiting for the Samsung Epix (which is the US version of the SGH-i780) for about a year now. Thought to be the successor to the BlackJack II, the Epix brings a package that rivals that of the Palm Treo Pro, so it's no wonder that many are now deciding between the two of them for their next device. There's a lot we like about the Epix, and a lot we don't. Read on and we'll help to make things more clear for you!

Picture Highlights

| In hand, the Epix looks and feels like a BlackJack II, but is a bit thicker. | Here's a shot of the keyboard backlighting. The Epix doesn't have a light sensor to regulate when the keyboard backlight comes on. | ||||||

| This is Samsung-made Today screen included on the Epix. It's nicer looking than the default, but it doesn't show weather, stocks, or next appointment. | Photo Slides is a cool application that lets you put together a bunch of pictures to make a slideshow on your device. | ||||||
Overall Impression
I really like this phone. With a bit of customization and added software, it can be a true winner. It's a great combination of touchscreen versaility and one-handed usability that a device like the Palm Treo Pro just doesn't have. If you're on AT&T and are looking for your next WinMo phone, this is a great choice - but expect to spend some time and perhaps money filling in the missing blanks that Samsung left.
