First off I feel this warranted a new thread altho we have some very similar.
But this provides more solid info that what I saw we currently have.

So while we reported yesterday that the Samsung Galaxy S II won’t be heading to Verizon, the silver lining comes in the fact that the three other major wireless carriers will indeed be getting their own models. So, the big question regarding whether or not Samsung would take the previous path in releasing these new models, in creating different looking devices for each carrier has been the question since the beginning. Thanks to Pocketnow, we can finally say that we (may) know what the handsets will look like.
There isn’t a lot of information going around here. In fact, where the above image came from is anyone’s guess. And because of that, we may want to take the above leak with the normal amount of salt on hand. We’re not sure if these are the final devices for each carrier, but we imagine that it’s certainly possible. So stay tuned, as Samsung’s event is just around the corner and we’ll have all the details we could ever want (hopefully).

Keyboard (a good one, not some PoS without a dedicated number line) is make or break for me. That's why I chose the epic over the other decent phones w/keyboards out there to begin with.

Sprint usually keeps the premium phones around the $199 mark, so I wouldn't expect this to be any different. No price has been announced, but I would expect that price point, but certainly nothing higher than $249.
Me personally, I'm waiting for details on the Nexus Prime to do anything. By then, the Epic will have GB and other goodies to go with it, and the SGS2 will already have ROMs etc associated with it. I have to rely on my phone quite a bit for business, so I'm not too eager to be an early adopter. I want to ensure all the small kinks and quirks with the SGS2 are worked out before I jump on it.
Nice to see confirmation of the design in the previously-shown pic that we assumed was Sprint. Looks like a solid design. I'm going to have a real problem deciding between this and waiting for a Sprint Nexus Prime variant.
Also, thanks for citing your source instead of merely ripping off an entire article as your own.
When the SGS1 EPIC came out it was $249 and then after the 2011 the price dropped. I hope they start out at $199 cause im just gonna add a 3rd line to my account to buy the SGS2 and give my son a phone! My wife will be taking my EPIC...

Cool spreadsheet bro
Nicee, I say that we'll get a update by end of April. Just a gut a feeling
Nice spreadsheet you whipped up there.
Thank you for bringing this to us.
My only concern is that I do not see Epic 4G listed in that list. Yes, the Galaxy S is but as we all know, Samsung doesn't seem to consider the Epic a true Galaxy S phone (based on previous articles excepting the Epic numerous times when referring to Galaxy S). Until I see "Epic 4G", I'm assuming the only chance I'll get to see Gingerbread is through CM7.

I see Galaxy S on the back of my phone. If Samsung offers the update and Sprint declines, that is one thing. But to not develop a ROM at all? I'll be upset.
It also does not distinguish whether its CDMA or not
sorry guys, guess I should have been a little more clear.
I did not create this spreadsheet, "I stumbled upon this" through an article posted on the NBCbayarea blog (here is the link):
http://www.nbcbayarea.com/blogs/press-here/Have-Android-Gingerbread-Check-With-Your-Manufacturer-119735574.html
and yes, you're right..this spreadhsheet does not specifically indicate "Samsung Epic 4G", we can only hope that they are generalizing all Galaxy S phones!
sorry for the confusion everyone...
if the link doesn't work just copy and paste:

The way it has worked in the past is that the non US version (base version GT-I9000) gets the update first. In fact that's the phone for the GB version that already leaked. It is plausible that that version could get the release later this month, but what ever the case expect at least 3 months after that before we see any official US versions.
Isn't the Nexus S 4g going to be closer hardware to the Epic than the GT-I9000? Won't that port be quicker?
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App
Who cares.
Once we have CM7 we'll have GB.
I'd rather they spend their time fixing the modem and whatever issues remain (slower data speeds, GPS issues, etc).
GPS is a lot better than it was in DI18, but every once in a while I'll turn on GPS and fire up Google Maps and it won't get a lock. Then I have to back out of Google Maps and go back in. Annoying when you're in the car in the middle of traffic and you have to figure out why GPS isn't working.

Kudos to the dev team, but one half functioning version of GB is no more useful than the half functioning one that Samsung has yet to release.

And usually when Samsung says Galaxy S, what they mean is the GT-I9000 and not the others. You'll know they mean the rest of us when they start saying "Galaxy S devices."

There's no doubt that the iPhone will have to come to Sprint in order to compete in the market. (Wait I take that back, unless the FCC allows the destruction of the market)
I most definitely, will not.
I would go back to cans and string before buying anything made by Crapple.
It would be good for my wife. Needs something simple for basic things like taking pics, videos, music, phone calls, etc.

I agree with you. I would get it for my wife as well. She has an Optimus S now which is her first Android device and she's still figuring out to work it after having it for 3-4 months. her phone is basically stock...smh lol.
She was in love with the iphone 3Gs but I convinced her to switch to Sprint so that I could get the Nexus S 4G and possibly the Evo 3D...lol.
But yeah, I'm definitely not getting an iphone.
I MOST DEFINITELY will be switching. Without I doubt in my mind. I went from G1 > iPhone. The only reason I switched to sprint is because of the employee discount. It would feel good to go back home...

If they add LTE to the version coming out later this year with a bigger screen ill definitely consider getting one. **** loyalty to a brand I like my phone to work.
This makes sense and it will be interesting to see how this Android v Apple battle plays out when the iPhone is available on every major US carrier. I had an iPhone in the past and while its a fantastic device, its not the phone for me. My wife may be interested though...
It would have to have a 4"+ screen and android being boot locked and watered down for me to consider it.
Wouldn't even consider it without a 4"+ screen.

Check it out and share your thoughts!
there is no 4G stamp after Sprint on the back so it is a nice fake.
also word on the street is that all the US variants of the SGS2 will have the Nvidia Tegra2 chipset, so not much of a difference from other phones on the market. I personally wont own another Samsung for awhile, as they have little to no support for the community , and really just suck for delivering stuff that satisfies US carriers so updates coming to the US take forever!

I don't have any info one way or the other, but that wouldn't make a lot of sense. The Epic has it. The two current phones it will sit next to (Photon and E3D) have it. This is flagship phone, and it wouldn't make sense for it to lack 4G.
Not saying you're wrong, just saying it wouldn't make sense.
It wouldn't make any sense for this phone to NOT have 4G, what are you smoking?
Even if Sprint switches to LTE, it won't happen anytime soon, so that surely won't impact this phone.
Also, the rumor about the U.S. variants having Tegra 2 processors isn't entirely right, it was rumored other territories might have the Tegra 2 included, but the U.S. is the least likely to have the Tegra 2. Not saying there's no chance, but it seems pretty slim.

I think galaxy note is targeted for specific people.
Personally, I will not buy it, because:
1. it's not nexus (fear of being left behind in terms of updates+features)
2. Too big for my pocket
But I see that it has usefulness that I heard web browsing is so much better due to bigger screen. The bigger screen allows reading, watching and typing better.
About stylus, I think its a gimmick. Unless you have something like iPad size (which still limited that you have to write like you are using a crayon), writing in touch screen is cumbersome.

It's freaking huge. Have you ever held an iphone? Yeah, I'm comparing apples to oranges, but the phone is huge.
The Dell Streak, compared to this, is longer and thicker, but the Note is wider. There are some videos up on YouTube with people putting the Note in their pocket and making calls and it's really not that big. Heck most cordless landline phones are bulkier than the Note.
Also if it gets ICS with the new version of TW that is less inttusive , that would be awesome.
I put a comparison pic of the note and the gnexus and an article up in the rumor thread. Ill find it.

since its fast and responsive i wont use the pen much
It's a Kenny Powers reference: NSFW
But yeah, I really want the Note.
AT&T has had the note for over a month. Used it for 2 weeks...it was OK. Barely fits in the back pocket and made my Epic feel like a toy. AT&T Hspa 4G is the biggest crap going but once LTE is spread out more it may be useable. The CDMA version will be called The Journal and rumored to go to Verizon and maybe Sprint.

I don't necessarily love that.
....It's just that Samsung is clearly the front innovator here.
As soon as they step up product manufacturing quality and get their commercial vector to focus, they will be on their way to absolute "portable communications + media devices" market dominance (...they may need to get someone new to achieve that focus...).

Flexible is one thing but can a crease be made in the display by accidentally folding it?
My wifi 7.7 finally came in yesterday. Thing is leaps and bounds over the Nexus 7 I had. Screen is absolutely superb and the speakers are great. Best part is I dont have to worry about it falling apart in my hand like that dam Nexus. When I got it out of the box it was on HC but immediately flashed up a message for the jump to ICS. Im really surprised how smooth it runs on ICS. Ive tweaked it to my liking and disabled some of the crap. But all in all im extremely pleased with it.

Considering my N7 was 250 and my 7.7 was only 270 through Verizon with mobile data for $10 a month with no contract plus a way better screen, better build quality, and looks way better totally worth it. Tegra 3 isn't all that. I don't mind the lack of development so much but I really wish samsung would support this like it really should. There are tabs still being released as new with similar hardware specs and have jelly bean and will still get updated. This tab really shouldn't of had HC out of the box when it was released IMO.
