The Samsung Epic 4G, the second 4G-capable phone from Sprint, launches in four days (8/31/10) and can be pre-ordered NOW at 3Gstore. Overnight shipping is available for just $12, so if you pre-order now you can be using your new Epic by Wednesday! To sweeten the deal, 3Gstore is also sending all of our pre-order customers a FREE car charger and free replacement battery to power and charge your Epic on the go!
Like the HTC EVO, which debuted in June, the Epic is expected to be VERY popular - but the good news is that Sprint appears to be much more prepared this time around. While many customers have been waiting to get their hands on an EVO for weeks or even months, that should NOT be the case with the Epic. We anticipate that everyone pre-ordering the Epic from 3Gstore by Monday should be able to get their order shipped on launch day! The Epic costs $249.99 after rebate with new service or eligible upgrade (taxes excluded).
If you've been waiting on the EVO and are eager to get your hands on a 4G phone without the wait, consider the Epic! You can read about the differences between the Epic and EVO here, and it can be pre-ordered at 3Gstore.com/epic.
The Epic has a number of enticing features (see below), including the mobile hotspot feature that helped make the HTC EVO so popular (for $29.99/month, you can turn the Epic into a WiFi hotspot that provides unlimited 3G and 4G access for up to 5 WiFi-enabled devices). It also features both a physical QWERTY keyboard as well as a virtual one, which is sure to please folks who rely on their phone for emailing and texting.
