And how difficult, and costly, it'll be to repair them should they have an unfortunate run-in with a concrete driveway or a rambunctious, unintentionally destructive child*.

That's why we love iFixit: They tear apart every new gadget they encounter.

iFixit's latest teardown is of the Samsung Galaxy S II Epic 4G Touch, Sprint's CDMA/WiMAX sequel to the Samsung Galaxy S. So what sort of goodies are inside?

First and foremost, the Samsung-made glass display and AMOLED panel are fused together.
