Epic coming soon?

Im thinking the epic might be coming soon because of what samsung is writing on its twitter:
"@Belwar Still don't have a date for the Epic 4G, but it's sooner than ever."
"@jman0824 The Epic is getting ready for the spotlight."

bin grade in miami.... was hat ich wohl als erstes gemacht? genau.. im sprint laden gefragt.. in 4 um genau zu sein und alle haben mir gesagt arrives between 11th and 16th....
Aber: einer hat gemeint es is schon drausen nur noch nicht in DIESEM laden... also geht bald los freu mich drauf... verspreh euch ich werds gleih ma auscheccken wenn ichs in de hand hab undd posten
sorry, forgot the english version:
i'm in miami now, first thing i did is asking at sprint shops getting the information its already on the way to the shops. it arrives between 11th and 16th

Thats not much, but im with u in holding out hope that we see it this month. These annoying little tweets they send really suck. I would rather hear nothing from them than to keep hearing "its getting closer". Thats telling us nothing except that time continues to move. Obviously its getting closer, even if its not coming til december, its getting closer. lol

I am thinking they will announce it Wednesday and release it some weeks later. Think it sucks that it is taking so long. I know I have motivated others to get it but since they are weak they are now looking at stuff from Verizon instead.

I read something on the sprint forums from an employee that Sunday is normal, but Fri/Sat is not unheard of as a push back date if it is a major release.
Found the quote-

Dec 9, 2007
Sprint usually launches phones on Sunday, big name launches happen on Friday or Saturday occasionally. This is because the entire week leading up to the launch, the phones can be shipped to the store to ensure there is adequate supply (or as many as they can in some cases).
community.sprint.com/baw/message/200591#200616
But, Sprint employees seem horribly confused about phone releases...

heh, i just came here to post this exact question. you beat me to it.
yes i believe this is highly likely.

But why pull an update .
Normal practice would be to just replace with the latter one .

hopefully there will be some of the features, that the nexus s already owns like SIP, that is deactivated in SGS versions of GB :/ And of course the video call thing that would be pretty awesome

2 updates in short succession is a pain in the ass for most people. (not the average xda member)

This seems one of the probable reason google could ask samsung to hold on.. otherwise we don't find any major issue on the 2.3.3 Rom which needs an upgrade to be halted.

There are two ugly bugs I noticed in 2.3.3:
1. Alarm (the green button next to alarm in alarm list works weird, like you set alarm for tomorrow, it works, than tomorrow you just press green button to make alarm for next day, and it says the wrong number of hours befor alarm start. solution is to open the alarm and save it again)
2.In week view of calendar, each month starts from 2nd week and I can't find the 1st!!!!
So if they could fix that 2.3.3 would be fine for me...
Of course 2.3.4 is even better, but where did you see any announcement for 2.3.4??? When will it be available?

I hope they solve the 3 second call bug. I hope we get an update. I think it is the last for us, so we must be happy to 2.3.4.

The 2.3.4 update is officially been rolling out for the nexus s as we speak.

According to Samsung Benelux is no 2.3.3 (Gingerbread) update more. The update is officially called off by Samsung. According to Samsung would be too many technical problems to the 2.3.x update to pass on the SGS. So the SGS will officially remain Froyo.

Is this just something that Samsung just made up to make Galaxy S2 sell more, since it got 2.3.3 Gingerbread?
Well I got 2.3.3 on my phone, and I've ordered the S2 anyway so I don't care.

Where is the source for this ?

I hope we get 2.3.4 as the last official update.
If they stop at froyo like someone here said, itd piss off a lot of users... Im not talking about custom roms and stuff.
Sent from my GT-I9003 using XDA App

Samsung didn't even included SIP from Gingerbread in 2.3.3, and you want them to make a new firmware with video chat? That's highly doubtfull. I think that if we will get 2.3.4 somewhen, it will be without new features. However, most likely that with launch of SGS2 we won't get much of a new firmwares anyway.

Gingerbread

Hi,
just wanted to tell you that I got an e-mail from samsung customer service germany that says gingerbread (probably 2.3.3) will be released for galaxy 3 within the second quarter this year, which would mean that it should come this month.
Can anyone confirm this or did the service worker just mix this up with gingerbread for galaxy S?

This month they declared that samsung galaxy s and other few devices will be getting ginger bread 2.3.3 . Don't even expect gingerbread on our phone unless for custom phones. Samsung made us buy this phone with the promise to deliver froyo, now it has delivered , it will never look back for it . you can see spica for example ... Which has 800mhz processor still, they haven't given them froyo. Samsung are cunning bastards! They want you to nut new phones.

When sending a request you also have to choose to which mobile phone your request refers.
The answer:
Sehr geehrter Herr [...],
vielen Dank für Ihre Anfrage.
Ein genauer Erscheinungstermin zu dem Update auf Android 2.3 Gingerbread liegt uns derzeit noch nicht vor.
Vorraussichtlich wird das Update Ende des 2. Quartals über unsere Software "Kies" verfügbar sein. Daher

hi
guys sorry to break the bubble but in my country they have stopped this phone ie it is no move available for sale in india(as per samsung store info i got they have stopped production) as they have introduced a lot of new phones so i dont think we will get the 2.3.3 official update
but then their are some developers working on it and im sure we will get it from them soon

I wrote to Polish section of Samsung and they answered me that Gingerbread will be at the end of June.
It's in polish:
Szanowny Kliencie
W imieniu firmy Samsung, serdecznie dziękujemy za kontakt.

only because it's no more on sale doesn't mean that there's no more support for it. samsung signed a contract in which they assure that they update their devices (as long as the hardware is capable of it) for 18 months, and it seems that this is not only for the new state of the art phones but as well as the galaxy 3. send an e-mail to samsung customer service in your country. then you get facts. only because everyone says that it's not likely G3 will get gingerbread because it's such a low-budget device doesn't mean samsung isn't working on it.

which is the same samsung germany told me. so for europe it's most likely we get an gingerbread update within the next two weeks
did anyone from the US or other parts of the world contact samsung customer service?

It's highly unlikely that the will release it at the end of june, if they realease it at all that is... It's probably a mixup with SGS. BTW guys if you did't notice, IT'S SAMSUNG for f**k sake! They dont care about low end phones like our G3 unfortunately

then why should they tell us that the update is coming this month?
we got independent statements from samsung germany and poland that they will release an update.
the update for SGS is already out (at least in germany, don't know if it was released everywhere). this makes makes a mixup quite unlikely.
sry, but I put more trust in what samsung customer service tells me than in speculations of users. I know that G3 is a low-end device. but if they say they release an update then why shouldn't they?
I mean they have no reason to lie, they could just say as the G3 is EOL they won't release any more updates and everyone would accept it.

Sure, it's probably an error, but as long as the price is listed as €3.50 they actually have to give it to you at that price as long as you pay now.
At least it's worth a try
UPDATE:
Amazon removed the offer and also canceled everyone who had ordered one. Oh well, we could only try

I tell you what, if I do manage to get 5 of 'em at that price, you're welcome to one at cost price (ie what I paid for it plus shipping to Canada).

That is an amazing offer! PM me when you do get it and we'll work it out

You mean if I get it - they've gone out of stock on the webpage and I'm fully expecting an e-mail telling me my order has been cancelled...

Well that sucks..
I wonder who tipped them off...

This was error or someone making a joke. It's like handing out phone for 2 sandwich costs. So it can't be real offer.

They'll have systems to flag up unusual ordering patterns, if demand for a product spikes unexpectedly, they'll investigate.

Well the orders are still up, if we get lucky we might actually get them. Amazon might just care more about their reputation than the cost of a few phones

Stuff like this happens all the time.
And they're too big for this to impact on their reputation - even if they cancel the orders we've all placed, is that going to stop you using them in the future?

you want it for something it really isn't; it's a simple flip cover for the phone. nothing more.

Got a free one as well. It has been on my note since the first day. Makes it easier to throw in the bag or pocket without worrying about the screen. A friend that owns a GS2 loved the fit and function of it, and if Samsung was making one he would be getting it in a heartbeat.

You're right. I'm using one too and I like it. Sure, it is not a real "protection" against throwing your note out of the fifth floor, but it's a nice addtion to protect your screen in your pocket.
In addition it also comes with a new back-cover with a much better protection for your camera!

you are wrong brother. ive a white note and a white flip case, i feel (& my friends feel)

2.it protects the screen.
3. MOST IMPORTANTLY, it has a slight bump on camera lens side and this protects your lens from scratches, mind you-this is not there for default back cover.!!!!

That would be great
and how much does the shipping cost ??
Lets Say to Saudi Arabia

In Turkey they give it when you buy. I used it but it is impractical. Let's say your phone rings. What will you do:
1. Grab with right hand and open the cover with other hand.
2. In order to fold cover on back, give phone to your other hand which opened the cover.
3. Touch screen to answer call.
4. If you are right handed like me, then put phone to your right hand again.
5. Bring your phone to your ear and talk.
Too long time to start talking.
