Epic Touch 4G comes out of the dark and into the white, hits Sprint January 8th
It's Epic, it's white, it has WiMax 4G and it's hurtling out of Samsung's Galaxy and headed straight for your pocket. Sprint's rebranded variant of Sammy's highly praised SGS II is getting the ol' bleaching treatment, showing off its Frosted White tips in stores this January 8th. The same $199 on two-year contract pricing applies, so if you haven't gone all in on this wünderphone, now might be the time.
