How do you top one of the best smart phones ever made? That's the epic feat facing the Epic 4G, the priciest device yet in Samsung's Galaxy S family ($249) and the second smart phone for Sprint that taps into the carrier's growing 4G data network.

The Samsung Epic 4G with a knockout Super AMOLED display, a 1GHz processor, a front-facing camera, an impressive QWERTY keyboard, a 5.0-megapixel camera with an LED flash, and supports Sprint's 4G WiMax network. It is capable of acting as a mobile Wi-Fi hot spot for up to five devices.

The Epic is a great device. Killer, even. Nothing speaks to us more strongly during the course of a review than finishing it and saying, "alright, I'm ready to buy this thing," and the Epic is on the short list of phones to do it. More than its Galaxy S siblings, it feels like the...

Placed aside the other Galaxy S phones, the Epic still comes out ahead. It's the only one of the four that has 4G, the only one with a camera flash and the only one that has the slide-out keyboard. Most everything else across all four carriers are the same, except for small details in pricing...

Tastes differ, but we feel pretty confident in calling the Samsung Epic 4G the best smartphone on the Sprint network today. That success is primarily the sum of the brilliant Super AMOLED display, excellent keyboard and speedy WiMAX connectivity. The compromise is TouchWiz, and we wish Samsung would...

The Samsung Galaxy S Epic 4G was the Samsung flagship device on Sprint before the introduction of the Galaxy S 4G. Although it is not the top of the line model anymore, it is still a very good phone and it can be customized to give much of the same user experience as the Galaxy S. It can...

The Samsung Epic 4G is the best cell phone I have ever had. After 8 months of use it is still incredibly zippy. For a perspective Sprint customer, I would highly recommend the Samsung Epic 4G. It is the only option for those looking for a top-shelf Android phone with a QWERTY keyboard. The...

Overall a decent device. That said, the Android OS feels half-backed - the back button has it's own mind and changes what it does; txt messages don't get sent out sometimes; apps running in the background can drain the battery. It's not all bad though - I like that you can customize the...

Context: I came from the Nexus One with Android 2.2 on T-Mobile. Check my profile for more info. The Good: Super AMOLED produces a very crisp super saturated image and is easier to see in outdoor conditions. The Bad: To me the Epic 4G was disappointing due to Android 2.1, Samsung not committing...

This is the best keyboard I've ever used on a phone. As a writer, I love having something I can rely on if I need to write in a pinch or while on the subway.

I haven't had really any problems with the phone, and I've been using it 6 months now, at first with 2.1 installed I had some battery issues, I would only get bout 8 hours, although that's somewhat to be expected with smartphones, I have noticed 2.2 had improved my battery life, quite a bit,...

It's a wonderful phone as long as you root it, install a custom rom and your off to go. It will increase your battery life, and delete the stupid bloatware that Sprints puts on the phone. Rooting is very simple, can be found by a simple search on Google. Great screen, always impresses my friends,...

I had an iPhone before, which I hated with all of my heart and soul. The Epic's keyboard was a huge improvement, sparing me a great deal of frustration. It is nice to know that I won't type "fir" instead of "for" anymore. Because other than this review, I have never used the word "fir" on...

Excellent phone. Very few complaints. Battery life is not great - but on par with similar phones Stupid emoticon button should be @ instead FN too close to SHIFT key. That's about it. I haven't been this happy with a phone since the Treo 600.

Phone is great. Screen is wonderful. When I use the phone lightly, I can go two days on the battery. On heavy use I get about 10-12 hours. The keyboard is a little awkward to use, but it is spread out pretty far. The screen is beautiful, dark blacks and deep red reds. I would recommend this phone...
