Martin Fichter, HTC’s vice president of product management and planning, said “the display was definitely one of the bigger issues that we needed to solve.” Samsung expects demand for its AMOLED displays to drastically increase in the coming years, estimating that 700 million AMOLED devices will be in the market by 2015. The report cited HTC — specifically the DROID Incredible and EVO 4G models — as being the company most affected by the current AMOLED shortage.

Samsung is not going to stop at Wave for its Bada push, it has just announced the second Bada phone – the Wave 723.

Sure, it looks like the Android 2.2 with the TouchWiz 3.0, but the underlying OS is Bada – the mobile OS created by Samsung.

Specs wise, the phone will come with a 3.2 Super AMOLED screen, 802.11n and a 5 megapixel camera with LED flash.  The Bada OS is upgraded to 1.1.  There is no price information at the moment.

The first time you turn on the Samsung Epic 4G you feel like a kid in the candy store. The vivid 4.0-inch screen comes to life and you see colors that you thought never existed. At 4 inches the device felt a bit wide in my hands but I adjusted to its size quickly. The body of the phone is a hard plastic and feels as such. Having said that it should be noted that I was skeptical about the plastic body at first but the more I held it the more solid the phone began to feel.

Let’s not forget the feature that sets the Epic 4G apart from other Galaxy S models currently on the market, the full qwerty keyboard. When you slide the keyboard down you can’t help but take a step back. The five rows of evenly spaced keys screams “please write an email”. If keyboards are not your thing than you can use the built in Swype which allows you to type using a continuous finger motion to input text faster than ever before.  With several options available typing on the Epic 4G is designed to please almost everyone.

Turning the phone over you will find a delightful 5.0 Megapixel autofocus camera accompanied by a flash for those indoor and night shots. On the front you have a VGA front facing camera that you can use with supported software to immerse yourself in video chat with your friend and family.

What is a smartphone without numerous methods to connect to the internet. The Epic 4G offered by Sprint doesn’t let us down. Out of the box you have the option to connect to Sprint’s new 4G network (where available) along side the already widely deployed 3G network. If you are one of the lucky ones to have 4G in your area you could in theory achieve speeds on average between 3-6 Mbps. The device also offers WiFi using 802.11 b/g/n to fully utilize hi-speed access points. Feel like sharing some of that data? With the built in mobile hot spot support you can share your 3G/4G with up to 5 Wi-Fi enabled devices at one time. When it comes to connectivity the Epic 4G has it’s bases covered.

We will go into an in depth analysis of the device in the coming week and answer any questions you may have regarding the Samsung Epic 4G offered exclusively at Sprint.  Let us know any questions you may have and we will do our best to answer them in full review coming soon.
