Samsung Galaxy S II for Sprint to be called Epic Touch 4G
Share:
Despite being given the Epic name, the addition of the word touch suggests that this device will not feature a QWERTY keyboard. The predecessor to this device, the Samsung Epic 4G, was the only one of the original Galaxy smartphones to feature a physical keyboard. Just like the original Epic, it will have 4G WiMAX on-board.
It appears that the Samsung Epic Touch 4G will be launching sometime in September but an official release date and pricing are still not known. But hey, at least we know what it’s going to be called. Tell us what you think in the comments below.

This may not seem like a big deal, but we are just one step closer to finally seeing it.

I think that is kinda of a dumb name. They couldn't just leave it alone and come up with a different device? Maybe that's why Sprint loses so many customer. Their service is terrible and they are too original and played out.

verizon charges 30 for 4g,
Basically you go VZW if Sprint isn't solid in your area. If Sprint is in your area (especially 4G), those who go VZW seem to think thet are getting better service but really are not. I had a VZW work phone and Sprint personal in a Sprint 4G area. Have not seen a single advantage of VZW, even when traveling as Sprint has better roaming agreements.

Verizon charges $30 for individual data service since we don't have any family data plans and that includes 4G at no extra cost. the more smartphones you have the more it costs to be with Sprint and since there's 4 on my Verizon plan it's cheaper being on Verizon than being on Sprint and my Dad travels and he has to have Verizon because out of all of the carriers other than T-Mobile which we never got to Verizon consistently has the best service. their claims of having the most reliable 3G network are true. i don't know if you're talking about Verizon's 4G or just their regular 3G service but if you travel and want 4G you're going to be out of luck in most places with either 4G network. it'll depend on where you go the most.

$30 per phone. For data service. A smartphone on the everything data plan after the 1st 2 lines is $29.99 for everything including the data. I fail to see how paying $30 for data individually somehow equates to being cheaper than $30 for everything.
