Sprint 4G Coverage in Roseville, CA - New Android Phones (Samsung Epic 4G, Samsung Intercept)

We visited the Sprint Store in Roseville, California yesterday and...surprise, surprise...their new Samsung Epic 4G (which was just released for sale on August 31, 2010) was on 4G! Huh??? After reading about the 4G coverage areas online, I thought it was only currently available in Stockton, Modesto (and elsewhere) and "in the works" for San Francisco and San Jose. There was no mention of it coming to the Sacramento area, but there it was...4G coverage!

Sprint Store: HTC EVO 4G and Samsung Epic 4G

The HTC Evo 4G (pictured above left) has a very large screen and (of course) is a very large phone...with no slide-out keyboard. The Samsung Epic 4G (two of them are pictured above right) has a smaller screen but it's also a smaller phone than the Evo...and it has a slide-out keyboard. One more thing...the Epic 4G's display is ABSOLUTELY STUNNING!!!

Sprint Store: Samsung Epic 4G

Samsung Epic 4G (as compared to my iPhone 3G)

  • PROS: Amazing display, slide-out keyboard, swipe keyboard option, voice commands, 16MB Micro SD card included, front-facing camera, flash, video camera, built-in Wi-Fi for up to 5 devices (add'l cost of $30/mo.)
  • CONS: $249 price tag + $10 more per month (for 4G?)

Sprint Store: Samsung Intercept

The only other Sprint Android phone that will be compatible with the 2.2 upgrade is the affordably priced Samsung Intercept (pictured below center, phone 5 of 7), which I thought was our only sensible option, until finding out that 4G coverage is on its way to the entire Sacramento area. Now I'm a little torn between the two...4G for $249 vs. Satin Pink for $99?

Sprint Store: Samsung Intercept

Samsung Intercept (as compared to my iPhone 3G):

  • PROS: Stylish Satin Pink color, $99 price tag, slide-out keyboard, swipe keyboard option, voice commands, video camera, compact size
  • CONS: Rev-0 (not Rev-A), smaller screen size

Sprint offers new customer a 30-day trial period, so we'll see how it goes when our phones arrive. I think Bob's going to change his to the Samsung Epic 4G...but for now I'm keeping my Satin Pink Samsung Intercept! :)

You're welcome, Rebecca! As predicted, Bob changed his order this morning to the Samsung Epic 4G and I'm getting the Satin Pink Samsung Intercept. :)

I got the Epic 4g It has taken me a couple days to try and figure it out because it is a pretty big learning curve for me from a Palm Pro....

Thanks for stopping by to comment on my Epic 4G post, Courtney! I think it's an easier learning curve from the iPhone 3G, but Bob will find out as he uses it.

P.S. How's that Red Gateway Netbook doing? I still absolutely LOVE mine...and haven't used my desktop since I got it! :)
