    epic touch training 2

    Whoops! With just a few hours to go before Samsung finally announces the details surrounding the U.S. launch of the Galaxy S II , things are starting to get leaky.

    At least three variants are expected to be debuted tonight: one each for T-Mobile, AT&T, and Sprint. Thanks to the last-minute leak of a Sprint training manual, though, the details for that last variant — now known to be the absurdly named Samsung Galaxy S II Epic 4G Touch — have debuted a bit early. We’ve got specs! We’ve got photos! What more could you want?

    The Samsung Galaxy S II Epic 4G Touch (SGSIIE4T. Catchy.) Specs:

    • Android 2.3
    • 4.52″ Super AMOLED Plus display
    • 1.2 Ghz dual-core CPU (Samsung Exynos)
    • WiMax 4G
    • 8 Megapixel rear camera
    • 2 Megapixel front camera
    • Preloaded apps: Nova 2 HD, Swype, Polaris Office
    • Bluetooth 3.0
    • Sprint ID
    • WiFi Hotspot for up to 8 device

    Pro tip: with the holidays coming up, be aware that saying you’re going to give someone an “epic touch” for Christmas leaves room for misinterpretation.
