Well this is getting downright interesting – after some pricing confusion, rumor has it that the Samsung Galaxy Tab will sell for somewhere between $200 and $400 on contract. That’s a hell of a lot better than some of the numbers that were floating around after its official unveiling on September 2 – we’d heard upwards of $900.

Even better: looks like the earlier rumor about Sprint getting the Tab may hold some water after all – now, word on the street is that it’ll be rocking WiMax (4G). That these two…

Seems like Sprint is really turning itself around lately, doesn’t it? They’ve managed to stop bleeding customers in the past few months, and it’s a fairly safe assumption that their ever-expanding lineup of awesome devices has something to do with it. Looks like they’re looking to continue the trend, too: BGR’s heard word that the Galaxy Tab will be headed to Sprint sometime in November.

They don’t provide any details other than that, so hopefully this ends up being reliable. It does seem feasible – word on the street is that

EVO 4G and now Epic 4G owners can celebrate the addition of 3 more metropolitan areas to Sprint’s 4G family, as the company just announced that the following cities are lighting up with 4G, effective immediately:

  • Boston, MA
  • Daytona Beach, FL
  • Providence, RI

These latest additions bring Sprint’s 4G coverage grand total to over 50 urban hotspots. Still no official release of 4G we caught in the Bay Area but we’re hoping for something soon, as the clock that will mark the promised end of the year timeline is ticking.

It’s August 31st and like clockwork, the first CDMA Galaxy S counterpart of the T-Mobile Vibrant and AT&T Captivate, the Epic 4G is finally available both online and in stores.

If you’ve been following our Epic 4G coverage, you would know that:

Samsung just sent out a press release that should help dampen the dullness today: according to Samsung, they’ve shipped over 1 million Galaxy S devices in the US. Not bad, especially considering they’ve only launched on 2 of the 6 carriers that will be getting the device. With such a hotly-anticipated and well-received line of devices, it’s likely sales are really just getting started – after all, the Vibrant and Captivate only launched just over a month ago.

Samsung’s Epic 4G will be launching on Sprint in just a few days (August 31),…

When offered to preview Sprint’s Samsung Galaxy S offering, the SPH-D700, also known as the Epic 4G, I immediately jumped on the opportunity. While my first personal-use Android device was the Nexus One, I’ve handled my share of Android smartphones, and my history of smartphone use has included several Samsung phones over the years. This being the first Galaxy S device I’ve personally handled, I’m glad to say that Samsung does not disappoint, and I can highly recommend the device to users who need a physical keyboard and can sign up for a contract with Sprint.

This has got to be one of the most useful things I’ve seen in my tenure here, although I may be biased because I own an EVO. XDA forum member nief1313 is in the (very slow) process of compiling the results of testing and benchmarking a ton of EVO ROMs. When I say a ton, I mean 11:

  1. Stock Froyo
  2. CyanogenMod 6 RC2
  3. DamageControl 3.5
  4. Fresh EVO 3.1.0.1
  5. BakedSnack 1.2.5
  6. Burnt Droid 1.0
  7. EViO 2 Series v1.0.2
  8. EViO 2 Series v1.1
  9. Ava-FroyoV3RevA
  10. OMJ’s v2.1
  11. FroYo

After months of leaks, announcements, and the releases of its sister phones, the Epic 4G is here… sort of. While the device won’t go on for sale for another two weeks, the big players in tech have managed to snag some early review units. We’ve filtered through the roundups and come up with the four that we deemed most worthy. Let’s take a look:

Looks like the floodgates have opened and pre-orders have started for the Epic 4G. All the usual suspects are offering the device, and all in their own way. As with the EVO 4G, Sprint will be requiring the Premium Data (or 4G) surcharge of $10/month. As always, to get the lowest price, you need to sign a 2-year agreement.

  • Sprint is selling the device for $350 with a $100 mail-in-rebate (MIR). Currently, if you pre-order online, you pick it up in-store on the August 31 and pay for it then. Looks like full retail on

Earlier today, Engadget reported that Sprint would begin taking pre-orders for the Epic 4G later today. Before running with the story, we wanted to fact-check with our Sprint rep, and we’re glad we did – his response:

No plans for pre-order today.  As you know, people can however sign up to get additional information sent to them when it’s available – but not pre-order.

There you have it – as much as we wish it was true, looks like we have a bit longer to wait.
