The HTC EVO 4G may have been the first 4G phone on Sprint’s network – but many users in this day and age still prefer the tactile feedback of a real keyboard. If you’re in that boat, the Samsung Epic 4G – the keyboard-laden 4G variant of the Samsung Galaxy S Android superphone – may be for you and it’s rumored to becoming August 20th.
Why August 20th? Samsung has a number of product preview videos that are showcasing the features of the Samsung Galaxy S phones. The ones for the Samsung Captivate and Vibrant (the T-Mobile and AT&T Galaxy S phones) were added to the page the day the phone came out. And, you’ve got it, the Epic 4G is previewed to be coming soon on August 20th, a Friday. Remember that Sprint released the HTC EVO 4G on a Friday.
Still not convinced? Somebody at Samsung Mobile US wrote on Twitter that the Epic 4G was coming ‘in a few weeks’. Later, the same Twitter account said that “no launch date/price but its’ coming out this summer.” As far as rumored release dates go – August 20th is sounding really good at the the moment.
In case you haven’t been following the Samsung Galaxy S – it’s another one of these Android superphones and it’s Samsung’s big entry into the Android top-tier. It’s already been released overseas but in the US, Samsung is releasing a differently named and styled variant for each carrier. The Samsung Epic 4G is Sprint’s – and it’ll be the only one in the US with the slide-out QWERTY keyboard.
