Sprint Nextel said it was pleased with the first-day response of the Epic 4G phone. They didn't give any sales numbers though. The Samsung Epic 4G phone costs $199 (with a new contract). The Epic 4G is a 1Ghz Android (v2.1) QWERTY slider for Sprint's WiMax network. It has a large (4") Super-AMOLED, 5mp camera (capable of 720p video recording), 802.11b/g/n WiFi and a six-axis accelerometer.

Two weeks ago we reported that Sandisk is set to release a new MP3 player with an AMOLED display. Today Sandisk has indeed officially announced the Sansa Fuze+, but unfortunately it has an LCD display, not an AMOLED.

It might be that the earlier report was simply wrong - but it's also possible that Sandisk decided to go with an LCD at the last moment because of AMOLED supply shortage.
