It was reported some time ago that the Samsung Galaxy S would hit every major carrier in the US – and it seems like the prediction was dead on. First announced for AT&T as the Samsung Captivate, the Galaxy S has already been confirmed for T-Mobile as the Samsung Vibrant, and was just announced as the Samsung Epic 4G for Sprint, the Samsung Fascinate for Verizon, and an unnamed version of the device for US Cellular.

Samsung Epic 4G - Sprint

The Epic 4G is Sprint’s version of the Galaxy S Pro (the only US carrier to get the Pro version, which includes a sliding keyboard), and is, as the name implies, compatible with Sprint’s 4G network.

Last week, Samsung announced the Galaxy S for AT&T would be named the Captivate. Today, they have announced the same phone for T-Mobile will be called the Vibrant, and boy is it (still) one sexy piece of kit.

In case you need a refresher on the details, based on AT&T’s spec page:

Android 2.1 with Samsung’s TouchWiz 3.0 user interface overlay
4” AMOLED Screen
1 GHz Hummingbird CPU
16 GB internal storage (and support for a 32 GB microSD card)
802.11n, FM Radio
Bluetooth 3.0
5 MP camera (no flash), 720p video recording

Couple this with the fact that T-Mobile doesn’t cripple their phones like AT&T does, and they’ve got a blazing fast 3G network… well, things certainly look good for T-Mo customers at the moment, don’t they?
