Sprint is launching their second 4G Android device, the Samsung Epic 4G on August 31st for $250 after a $100 rebate.
The new Smartphone has a 4-inch Super AMOLED touch screen along with a 5 megapixel camera (with LED flash), capable of capturing video at 720p HD and a front-facing camera. Android 2.1 is initially on the Smartphone, (which is expected to be updated to version 2.2 shortly post-release) running its 1GHz Samsung Cortex A8 processor. Other features include an 802.11b/g/n WiFi connection, a six-axis sensor, a compass and presumably built-in GPS.
The device is the next part of the line of Samsung Galaxy S Smartphones. Its main difference however to this line of phones is its built-in 4G connection and a slide out QWERTY keyboard.

You can import it to the UK but you won’t be able to use it because it is a CDMA device and the UK uses GSM.
