Amazon has been trigger-happy with the US versions of the Samsung Galaxy S before. With the EPIC 4G, which is quite an addition to the Galaxy S stable, with its 4G speeds, slide-out QWERTY and LED flash, Amazon are again offering a fairly sweet deal to convince you to get the phone off their hands, instead of buying it from Sprint.
The web retailer has the EPIC 4G listed for $199, with free two-day shipping, while at Sprint the same handset costs $350 before a $100 mail-in rebate. Thus you save 50 bucks, and the drama around mail-in rebates, unless you love clipping stuff and mailing it out.
The offer is valid with a qualifying two-year service plan from Sprint, and the phones should start shipping today. Amazon gives itself a leeway here, warning that there might be slight delays, due to the high demand for the handset. Any takers?
Mint Mobile is now allowing you to get whichever plan you like for either three, six, or 12 months for just $15/mo. If you go for the six-month unlimited service, for instance, you'll now have to pay just $90 upfront instead of $210.
