We recently told you all about Sprint's second 4G enabled phone, the Samsung Epic 4G. Basically a re-named Galaxy S Pro which in itself is a Galaxy S with a physical QWERTY keyboard, a chart comparing the handset with some other high-end models calls the Epic "The next big thing!" The other phones being compared with the Epic 4G are the carrier's own EVO 4G, the Verizon Droid Incredible and DROID X and the iPhone 4. Some of the analysis is really based on personal choice . For example, while bold letters proclaim that the Epic's 4 inch Super AMOLED screen beats the 4.3 inch LCD screen seen on both the DROID X and the EVO 4G, this is really a matter of personal choice. Some would rather have a Super AMOLED screen while others would rather have the three extra inches on an LCD display. As with the EVO, the Epic 4G will cost you an additional $10 a month for the privilege of using Sprint's pipelines. The bottom of the ad says that the pin-dropping network will have dropped 4G on 120 million people by the end of 2010. As far as 4G phones are concerned, thus far, Sprint has jumped out to a two handset advantage over the competition.
