When Sprint released HTC Evo 4G they created an histeria in the US, with people waking up in the morning to go and receive their pre-ordered device. Sprint announced they have even sell more Evos than Palm Pre and Smansung Instinct (the two biggest devices until that day), and this means more than two hundred thousands handsets. Well, someone actually counted all the devices sold, and they realised there are not so many as they thought previously.

Pundits suggest that they actually sold around 150.000 smartphones. They said they sold around 300.000, so double than they actually managed to sell on 4th June. Sure, this number is highly expected to climb fast, but those are just future previsions, not certain things. It remains to be seen how many HTC Evo 4Gs were actually sold on 4th of June, but if one thing if for sure, then Sprint lost a lot of credibility with this announcement they should have made.

Sprint and Samsung announced today a new Galaxy S device, called "Samsung Epic 4G", which features the same 4 inch touchscreen screen. It's powered up by a Hummingbird processor (we don't know the frequency), there is also a 5MP camera with 720p video recording capabilities. This new versions also includes a VGA front-facing camera, probably for video calling, a very nice feature. A cool news is that the handset will come with 4G radios to work with Spring's 4G network, which becomes better by day. There is also a slide-out qwerty keyboard.

The device will run Android 2.1 Eclair and TouchWiz 3.0, but there is known Samsung and Sprint will try to update the OS to Froyo as soon as possible. Other specs include 1GB ROM, 512MB RAM and a 16GB microSD card (up to 32GB, as always). Wi-Fi and Bluetooth will not miss either.
