Samsung is definitely leaving a mark in the mobile phone revolution with their latest line of phones. Last June, the company announced one of their recent product: Samsung Epic 4G. It’s official release date was slated on August but then people just couldn’t wait.

The Samsung Epic 4G’s claim to fame is that it is the very first Galaxy S phone with a slide-out QWERTY keyboard and WiMAX connectivity.
So what do you get when you buy the Samsung Epic 4G phone? This phone boasts its ultra fast 1GHz Hummingbird processor designed for quicker downloads and video playback which is perfect for watching high resolution videos.
The 4-inch super AMOLED display is another advantage.

SCAM ONLY 340MB OF RAM Sorry but your wrong about the 512mb of ram.Samsung is running a scam and people need to start posting all over the web about it.
The phone only comes with 340mb of available ram.I know because I own 2(mine and my fiances).They decided to use the other 172mb for a ram disk it seems.Devs are trying to figure out why.I didnt realize this until I got home and used an app that shows available ram.
There is a few apps you can use to test this.I first noticed it
when using Memory Booster Lite.Please post this information where ever you can they should not be able to get away with this.
Thankyou

Umm…I think you should do some research Patrick. It’s not a scam….it’s called restriction. Any smartphones running under 2.1 android have restriction. Froyo2.2 will allow you to use rest of your ram.
