Sprint drops price $50

[jscher2000]

In store and on sprint.com.

Is it a coincidence that the price of the Epic drops with the introduction of the EVO Shift 4G? I think not.

Kind of a shame, the Epic has great hardware. But like most suspected, Samsung dropped the ball on software updates and glitches.

Oh, I hadn't noticed. Thanks for doing that right after I bought an EVO, Sprint. Thanks a lot.

When I went to check it out, I noticed that the Epic has been dethroned. It's no longer on the top of the store. Actually, it's almost at the bottom now.

Yeah, bet they still haven't a clue as to a release date on official 2.2 either. If it wasn't for that leaked version of froyo, I would've returned this Epic. Way to go Samsung... Waaaay to go.

Its the no froyo discount. Your not gonna get an upgrade, so hey, how about 50 bucks off!

Wow, It's a shame how they treat the Epic. Now its all about the EVO and the EVO Shift right about now. Hehe.

Don't get too high on that. Just wait until CTIA.

Without 2.2 or 2.3 they should have dropped it $100

I played with this in the Sprint store and compared it with my Evo. Kinda hard going down to a smaller screen even if the difference is minimal. It does have awesome screen quality and is very snappy out if the box without all the tweaks.

Yea. I actually want a bigger screen.

This does not surprise me in the least... I posted this on December 1st over on the sprint forum and it appears to be coming true...

Re: android 2.2 updateabdroid

My guess is as new android devices continue to come along with 2.2 already installed, this device will be slipped to the back burner and not see an update at all.......... Case in point:



I received my email from sprint, the "Were not happy till your happy" checkup email... Well, just try to find the EPIC listed on those web pages that come up. NOT THERE............ Try to update from the My account page or even look for an update from the link "check for updates" , NOT THERE.... the only way it shows if if you go to support for devices then choose Samsung....



For what is called a "Flagship" Device, the EVO gets more attention. Perhaps I chose the wrong device.

The epic is on the verge of being too big already. The evo is too big for what I want to do. I could never go back to a washed out looking screen after the super amoled, no matter how big it is.

I concur, or even higher.

Sounds like all the comparison threads we use to make on Precentral haha.

All phones go down in price, especially with the huge parade of phone to come (hopefully). So I am hoping the price reduction means they are planning on adding something better later and really need to reduce stock.. I have two upgrades coming up, but this will however be my first and last Samsung phone (unless they can prove they have learned from their mistakes). Too much of a rollercoaster ride for me... Yay it works... Sigh it doesn't... Yay it almost works... Sigh it doesn't... yay...

 

[signothefish]

Strange, it's showing $199 for me. Well, upgrade price anyhow.
