Get The Samsung Epic 4G From Amazon For $200 On Contract

The new Samsung Epic from Sprint is now available for pre-order and should begin shipping on August 31, 2010. You can now grab it from Amazon for $199.99 on two year contract and must be new customer, saving $400.

The Epic 4G has a large 4-inch Super AMOLED touchscreen display that provides brighter, thinner, and higher-resolution than traditional screens. Samsung’s innovative display technology makes watching movies, viewing videos and playing games come to life like never before, even in bright light and outdoor environments. And messaging is simple and easy with the Epic 4G’s side-sliding full QWERTY keyboard as well as the included virtual QWERTY keyboard with Swype technology, which allows you to input text faster and in a more intuitive way with one continuous finger motion across the screen keyboard.

Running the Android 2.1 operating system, the Epic 4G brings one-touch access to the popular Google mobile services millions use every day, including Google Search by Voice, YouTube and Picasa. The Epic 4G also provides easy access to both personal and corporate email, calendars, and contacts supported by Exchange Server and Gmail. And through Android Market, you’ll get access to thousands of useful applications, widgets and fun games to download and install on your phone, with many more apps being added every day.

The forward-facing VGA camera makes it easy to have video calls using the two-way voice and video service from Qik, while the 5-megapixel camera on the back also offers 720p video recording for playback on your HDTV.

With built-in mobile hotspot functionality, the Epic 4G also allows up to five Wi-Fi enabled devices, including laptop, camera, music player, video player and any other Wi-Fi-enabled device, to enjoy the benefits of 4G speeds on the go. Other features include music downloads from the Amazon MP3 Store, microSD memory expansion (16 GB card included; optional 32 GB cards supported), HDMI audio/video output, and up to 6 hours of battery life.
