For those that just didn’t want to settle for the world’s first 4G smart phone, the HTC EVO, despite an impressive set of features, Sprint just dropped availability and pricing details for the Samsung Epic 4G. This device, based on Samsung’s Galaxy S series, will be available on Sprint.com and in official retail stores on August 31st. (Sprint stores open at 8 A.M.) Radioshack, Best Buy, and Walmart will also carry the device. As for pricing, the device goes for $250 after a sending in a $100 mail-in-rebate and signing a new two-year contract. While a bit pricey, the timing couldn’t be better for Sprint considering that Verizon just divulged pricing and availability for the Motorola Droid 2 just yesterday.
To make the purchase process easier for new and existing Sprint customers, a special web page (www.sprint.com/epic4g) will allow reserving the device beginning this Friday (August, 13th). That should make finding a device easier, especially after the chaos that ensued with limited quantities of HTC EVO 4G units, which are still sold out in most stores. Customers to reserve a unit will have to complete their purchase by 6 P.M. on September 1st to avoid loosing their spot in line. Customers can choose to pick up the device in a local Sprint retail store as well.
