Whoo hoo! I've been eagerly awaiting this! I continue to save my pennies for this phone...

I wouldn't say exactly 20th but 19th-21st seems like the possible days...unless sprint pushes the date up like T-Mobile did.

This just means thats when they are having an episode about it, how do you know this is the release date?

The theory is that since the Captivate and the Vibrant's episodes were on the "official" release dates, that the Epic's episode could be on it's official release date. While the Vibrant was actually available July 15th, the phone wasn't actually officially to be released until the 21st.
I'm personally hoping for an earlier date... like, Sunday, July 25th. I've saved up my dough for it already.

Wahh! That's a bit long of a wait. Im hoping the first week of August. But middle august gives me time to put up my nexus for sale.

That won't be happening, with 100% certainty.

Now I can't wait to hold this bad boy to see how it feels. However, I'd have to see some Cyanogen love before I jumped ship.

I don't know him well enough but would cyan dev for this phone if he had one or do you think he has too much on his plate?

Back to topic...
I wonder if this phone will be like the other galaxies? What I mean is I've read reviews that say it has a kinda (cheap) plastic feel to it. I hope not. I hope the build quality feels solid. Only reason I'm interested is I miss the hardware keyboard I had with the moment. Some might think I'm crazy, but I'd prefer this over my evo. Oh yeah, I'd yank that stupid touchwiz out for vanilla or AOSP in a heartbeat!

No idea. I know that one of the members of the CM team has been developing a recovery for the Galaxy S, so it probably isn't out of the question.

@herbthehammer - its not crazy, this phone is a lot better then the EVO..and only reason why it feels like that is because it is compact making it VERY light...

There is already a ClockworkMod recovery for the Galaxy S:

I would guess that some mods can be used with all the models. Roms or kernels would be unique to each model and carrier because of slight hardware differences and radios operating frequencies and technologies. I'm no hacker or dev, but that's what my common sense is guessing.

Anyone have a twitter and can Twitter that Ep1 on August 20th to SamsungMobileUS
http://twitter.com/SamsungMobileUS
I want to see if they will cough up and admit it was the release date...make sure to mention the other Ep1 were always on release dates..

@ Entropism
"That won't be happening, with 100% certainty."
Wow, 100% sure? Do you something we don't? I have a friend who asked a sprint sales rep here in Florida about the Epic and he told him there were no new devices coming out until the holidays. That's pretty sad how some sprint sales reps are so clueless about new devices. That's not a dig at you and it probably wont released the first week of Aug.

I'm sure noobnl will put out a good ROM for it, I decided to take this one over the evo, sorry HTC =/ I can't wait!

The 20th is so far away! I keep waking up hoping its the 20th, but its not even the end of July yet! *impatience*
Just saw pictures of the upcoming HTC Vision, and that keyboard doesn't have ANYTHING on the epic!

I'm the person in my store who was selected to get the device early. We get it a month before it gets released publicly, so we can train our coworkers on the device. I'm expecting it this week, so I expect the release to be around 8/20 (as was rumored).

This just my 2 cents. I believe that the Verizon update leaked about on the 1/10 is to allow the phone to be updated by Kies. Granted, this week is CES, and Verizon is lauching new LTE phones, but I also see this as an opportunity for Samsung to announce updates to their Galaxy S lines in the US. Considering how many of these phones have sold, if there isn't an announcement at CES, there may never be one, lol. But I believe they will say something, because they want to build up the Galaxy S brands, and you really can't do that by screwing consumers out of an update for a Free Mobile OS.

It is really most likely a bug fix, hence why it's called MR2 (Maintainence Release). Most likely it's DL09. NOT froyo.

It may actually be our beloved froyo that we've been waiting for.
But honestly, I'm waiting for jt and co's gingerbread...

Who cares .... for those who don't frequent IRC, here's today's status: "You'll notice there is not AOSP status here, thats because we got the .35 kernel booting and have moved to gingerbread...have a nice day"

i would be on IRC just watching whats going on if nothing else... but i couldnt tell you how to access it lol

maybe ill get something for my birthday, (the 10th, that is)

Ha, nice. My birthday is the 9th. I would probably guess that it is just the maintenance update, but I guess with CES this week, you never know.
It is good to know that jt is close to getting gingerbread running though, that will be pretty sweet.

Hehe my birthday is the 9th as well, will finally be 21. But yes it will be quite nice to see GB running, and before samsung could release it too. That is pretty sad.

It looks like, whoever gets to it first, we're going to see some sort of update in the pretty near future.
Can't wait to see what is going to come about over the course of this month.

Release date in US?

Does anyone know when this will be released in the US?

Nothing official, but here it says April for a WiFi only version ("sowewhere around the world") and the usual "Q1" for 3G, "Q2" for 4G...

Samsprint still updating epic EF10 Update.

http://device.sprintpcs.com/Samsung/SPH-D700/EF10.rdf
so much for EF02 being the final build... lol or maybe this is the update that will come after we get the initial EF02

cool, i hope it gets leaked soon!
(and also that no harm comes to whoever leaks it)

There goes our June 21st release date then. Ah well, maybe next month.

I hope this come out and is official no later then the beginning of July.
Hit thanks for u cause i'm awesome

I don't think we can say that quite yet. This could be just an update, not the whole package. Sprint may know of a few bugs that already exist in what they're planning on releasing to everyone, and this is to fix them. I don't know this for sure, but it's certainly possible.

i really dont mind besides EF10 sounds way more badass than EF02 >

Yeah, sounds like a jet fighter or a beefed up engine made by the American Government that has 800hp. OH **** their sending out the EF10! It's go TIME

I am assuming that EF02 has no known issue and they turn off all debug stuff in android and kernel. This build is the final build set to released on 16 - 26 of june.

Not really worried about this anymore now that I got my upgrade reset for the full $150 off. I'll stick it out with the Epic til the Within comes out and I'm all set. However this may help Epic resale value.
