I still like the idea of an Android better than an iPhone, but the foot dragging of Samsung and Sprint to update the Epic makes me at least think of changing to iPhone, or another Android manufacturer, or another carrier. That's a mighty expensive chunk of plastic to be abandoned (as I assume Sprint/Samsung will, based on their non-enthusiastic update) after a year or two (again, assumption/prediction).
my understanding is that gingerbread will be released for the epic 4g. I'm not sure when, i've just seen a bunch of leaked builds on various android websites.
Gingerbread will probably be the last official release for the epic, but i assume a cyanogenmod port will be finished eventually.

Anything connected to the internet needs regular updates to keep up with threats, never mind prettier icons. I got Windows XP updates for a long, long time.
I'm really rethinking the sensibility of an expensive smart phone for my world.
