Its confirmed that Samsung Epic 4G will go on sale bright and early tomorrow morning at a Sprint store near you. A mass email was blasted out, saying that Sprint stores will be opening at 8 a.m. local time on Tuesday to start selling the Epic 4G.
The smartphone comes with a 1 GHz processor, a QWERTY keyboard with spaced out keys, in addition to a 4-inch AMOLED touchscreen display, 5 megapixel camera as well as HD video capture. Reports sat that the slider Epic 4G also comes with support for customers who use Sprint’s 4G WiMAX network. Besides this, the device can be used along with Sprint TV and also Amazon’s MP3 Store, plus Android’s Market apps.
The Epic 4G has a large 4-inch Super AMOLED touchscreen display that provides brighter, thinner, and higher-resolution than traditional screens. Samsung’s innovative display technology makes watching movies, viewing videos and playing games come to life like never before, even in bright light and outdoor environments. And messaging is simple and easy with the Epic 4G’s side-sliding full QWERTY keyboard as well as the included virtual QWERTY keyboard with Swype technology, which allows you to input text faster and in a more intuitive way with one continuous finger motion across the screen keyboard.
Running the Android 2.1 operating system, the Epic 4G brings one-touch access to the popular Google mobile services millions use every day, including Google Search by Voice, YouTube and Picasa. The Epic 4G also provides easy access to both personal and corporate email, calendars, and contacts supported by Exchange Server and Gmail. And through Android Market, you’ll get access to thousands of useful applications, widgets and fun games to download and install on your phone, with many more apps being added every day.
The forward-facing VGA camera makes it easy to have video calls using the two-way voice and video service from Qik (upgraded account service required), while the 5-megapixel camera on the back also offers HD video recording (720p) for playback on your HDTV.
With built-in mobile hotspot functionality, the Epic 4G also allows up to five Wi-Fi-enabled devices–including laptop, camera, music player, video player and any other Wi-Fi-enabled device–to enjoy the benefits of 4G speeds on the go. Other features include music downloads from the Amazon MP3 Store, microSD memory expansion (16 GB card included; optional 32 GB cards supported), HDMI audio/video output, and up to 6 hours of battery life.
This will not please those who have already pre-ordered the device, which started a few weeks ago now. The online store giant is offering the Epic 4G for just $199.99 for a two-year contract. That is not only cheaper than Sprint, but Best Buy as well.
The new phone has a market value of $249.99 which is inclusive of a warranty period of two years during which the buyer can return it to the store where they bought it for extra service. Additionally, users of this device have to pay about $10 when using its 4G data.
