As per a very good source...the rumored priced of the Epic 4g Touch is going to be $249 after a 2yr contract renewal during the first 6 weeks then drop down to $199 afterwards. I hope I am wrong on this one and it's $199 from the start.

I hope I am....I don't want to pay $249 for this phone but I will.Sprint's flagship phones come out at $199.99. I'm pretty sure you're wrong on this.
I hope its $199 also but who knows . the charge came out $299 the Bionic is Rumored $299. If Sprint goes the $250 route which i hope it doesn't it will hurt them. I would probably get it anyway but i think just like so many things people will pick on the price just to put Sprint down. They saw it didn't help them last year and on the 3D they could have done that but didn't . So hopefully the stay the course with $199 being the price. Cant wait 3 weeks (rumor) more .

Just found a site confirming the rumor I heard.
Galaxy S II Epic Touch 4G on Sprint First? September 9 Rumor : Online Social Media
The epic was $249 when it first came out last year.
Simply because of the keyboard.
I disagree. The htc evo shift is on par with the epic spec wise, had a keyboard and did not cost $249

You forget that the general population is ignorant and they would see the 800mhz and think that it is slower. Plus, remember that it did not have a Front Facing camera, it had a 5 Megapixel camera (vs evo's 8), it did not have hdmi out, and it had a smaller screen.
Yea I would be in protest if it went for more then $200 after rebate. I am looking to get this now and then add a 3rd line just to get the Prime but if its going for $300 then i think i can wait for a price drop or the Prime. I really do hope Sprint sticks to $200. for both phones
So as you just posted above, it clearly wasn't $249 solely for the physical keyboard
Charging an extra $50 for a physical keyboard is not a legit argument. The shift cost less and was on par with the Epic. It must be a decision based on the price Sprint got Samsung phones and what they felt was a good subsidy and still walk away with minimal loss.
