Samsung hints Epic 4G may ship August 20
Samsung has dropped clues as to the launch of the Epic 4G through a schedule for its demo videos. Sprint’s 4G version of the Android phone is slated to get a video presentation on August 20. As both the related AT&T Captivate and T-Mobile Vibrant had their videos posted virtually in sync with the actual launch, the posting implies the Epic 4G may be ready on or near the August 20 timeframe.
Sprint often prefers to make phones available on a Sunday, so the actual ship date may be August 22.
The Epic 4G’s delay beyond the other versions hasn’t been explained by Samsung or Sprint, but its use of WiMAX and the slide-out QWERTY keyboard make it much different than any other Galaxy S. It primarily shares the Super AMOLED screen, 1GHz processor and five-megapixel camera.

I will get the Samsung Epic 4G because I am with Sprint already and the Phone seems to be a fantastic phone. Also the any time any mobile from Sprint is the best. I do not have to worries about minutes anymore. I have unlimited data, text, mobile to mobile, GPS, Sprint TV, and 1500 minutes any time (we use 500 minutes only per month) for my family of 5. We pay for 5 lines after a discount, taxes included and insurance for each phone we have of ($7) only $225. It means $45 per line. (the best plan ever). I will get the Samsung Epic 4G.
