Samsung Epic 4G for Sprint
The Samsung Epic 4G for Sprint is an Android 2.1, Samsung Galaxy S smartphone featuring the ultimate entertainment experience. The Super AMOLED, thin touchscreen conserves battery power, while offering a near-HD display at 100 times the contrast quality of other leading phones. The advanced 5 megapixel camera and secondary VGA camera can record HD video to be edited with your favorite apps, uploaded to the web, and shared wirelessly on Digital Living Network Alliance (DLNA) devices (including HD TVs). You can also video chat, try live video sharing, and soon get access to Samsung Media Hub, a multimedia library powered by the biggest names in entertainment. Quickly connect using the slide-out QWERTY keyboard, virtual keyboard with SWYPE or the hands-free calling options. Combining the 4" brilliant display with the included premium content and Sprint's WiMax 4G network, which is up to 10 times faster than 3G, makes the Epic 4G a fully integrated powerhouse of a smartphone.
