Sadly your fix doesn't work for me. If Mass Storage is selected my laptop recognises the phone but Kies does not open automatically. So still cannot access the contacts on my sim..... I have uninstalled Kies for now and will try and download a different version of Kies to see if that works

FWIW, I ended up installing Kies 1.5.1.10071_32 in Windows 7 x64, and it finally recognizes the phone there (in Kies mode, the Mass Storage mode "solution" is in fact useless).

Boot back to Windows XP SP3 on the same machine, and the same version of Kies insists that it does not support the phone.

So apparently some silly programming bug can prevent Kies from recognizing the phones it supports under unidentified circumstances. As screwy and fat as the software package is, it seems near impossible to figure out what problem it has... Should be renamed to DAPS = Dumb-Ass Piece of Software.

When i re-checked the dutch site where i got my kies software i saw there was a new version downloadable there. 1.5.1.10071_32 to be exact. After deleting all the stuff i could find from the older stuff from kies and samsung drivers. I installed this "latest" version. And of course NOTHING happened. Still have same problems. I run Vista Home Premium 32bit and have had nothing but trouble with Kies and the MTP driver that just wont work. Weird thing is that about 2 versions ago (when i also couldnt connect to my own vista comp) I could connect with my folks' XP 32bit comp. After fiddling around with my own vista computer now i cant even connect the phone to my folks' computer. Also my phone flips out when i connect it to kies and changes from the home screen to an "MTP application" an back the entire time. It didn't do that at the start (when i could also still connect to my folks XP machine). Did Kies corrupt my phone or something. I WANT THIS FIXED. Anyway i'm really starting to get pissed off by samsung. And when i sent a mail with all the troubles and stuff i tried to make it right they referred me to a payed helpdesk. **** you Samsung. They'd better get there **** together. Cause this is just a load off crap that shouldn't happen when you launch one of your big main products...

Anyway this is of course blowing off some steam but i'm allowed to after about 3 days of trying to get this crappy program to work. Anyway i hope people will try to get new solutions caus pretty much all the stuff that's on here i tried and failed.

Conclusion:
Epic 4G = AWESOME
Kies SUCKS MONKEYBALLS as do the software developers at Samsung if they dont get this to work properly soon.
