Samsung pumped several new features into TouchWiz, its user-interface overlay for Android, but it's still is not my cup of tea. The UI is quick, the widgets are improved, and the colors are less in-your-face, but I prefer stock Android to any sort of custom interface. Everything always feels faster, and I prefer Google's color scheme choices and menus. Thankfully, Samsung has added a few e-mail text and background color options, so those who dislike the black background as much as I do have one less thing to complain about.
My favorite feature of the fresh TouchWiz build is Samsung's new zooming function. On websites and while viewing photos, you can hold two fingers on the screen and move the phone away from you on a horizontal plain to zoom out, or pull it toward you to zoom in. It's a fun but arguably useless feature; most will probably find that simply pinching to zoom is more efficient.
The Epic 4G Touch comes equipped with the Swype keyboard, which many people enjoy and use regularly, but I am still not a fan. Thankfully there's a Samsung keyboard option that did the trick just fine.
