Sprint Epic 4G commercial

So help us, we're not even going to try to avoid the whole "epic" thing when it comes to the Sprint Epic 4G. It just is.

After the break, check out one of the latest commercials (and be sure to check out our hands-on) for the latest from the Samsung Galaxy S class, coming Aug. 31. Thanks, "it."

ARich91 says:

Sure is blatant Spartan rip-off in this vid

Dragoneer says:

Impressive! Epic DOES EPIC marketing!

Oh yeah, even though I'm a Droid X user, this commercial still made me proud. Android surely is gonna wipeout iOS in no time. Just wait and you'll see. ;)

johntkong says:

It was very well done but did you notice how the alien ship looked like an X? Hmmm.....

malibumac says:

There was another ad like this at a movie theatre that I went to the other day, but I think it was for the Vibrant... It had some really awesome Medieval fight scene

Also, isn't it weird that they didn't say Epic 4G, just Samsung Galaxy S, I smell a little name confusion coming on...

amojeba says:

Hey, that's great....
But where's the Samsung Fascinate? (Verizion version of the Galaxy lineup).

Does this rumor of an October release date actually have merit? Unfreaking believable.

rodvillegas says:

I am sure Verizon struck a deal with Motorola giving it some exclusive rights to windows as to when other phones would be able to launch. Right now Verizon is all about Motorola.

moosc says:

Seeing the ship shapped like a X I would have thought this was for droid X. Why rip off Motorola Droid commercials get your own ideas.

matthewdlyons says:

Am I the only one that was thinking, "This could be a Droid commercial?"

hampstenj says:

i thought so too,

theoneuafter says:

@ amojeba Agreed. When is the Fascinate coming? My contract expires in 2 days. It will be the X or the Fascinate. I'm trying to hold out for the Facinate. Cmon big red. Were waiting.......

jabrilly11 says:

honestly i saw that commercial last night and thought it was Halo,,,so i just stop watching it, but now that i see it here i like it 8)

Brianadfl says:

omg its fighting on an asteroid they copied it off of Star Wars! And he's driving a space ship that looks like a sting ray! Steve Irwin would be scared!

Get over it guys its a commercial. i liked it. hopefully all android phones will have a similar concept. android vs iphone. they all have to have some common ground since its all the same OS.

Now that i think about it, halo: reach is coming out soon. maybe a hack at windows 7 too?

mswashu says:

Seidio has a case for pre-order...not sure if i want to case it or just invisishield it....I don't like scratches on my toys....

masterchief09 says:

what website did you see the seidio case?

dragonol2 says:

EPIC!!!!!

drizek says:

SCK IT MOTO

masterchief09 says:

it has gorrilla glass on it, that screen it well protected! Epic!!!!!

messiah143 says:

This is going to be EPIC!!!!

DroidEye22 says:

Lol a commercial for another phone looks awsome on my Droid X. XD

durthquake says:

Agreed! :)

potatoho says:

Star Wars LOL! The next commercial should be on Naboo with the Droid army approaching and Steve Jobs runing around like Jar Jar Binks.

rcorry says:

I can't wait, have that upgrade ready and available.

Jonaholic says:

Does anyone know if you can SIM unlock the Epic?

Hand_O_Death says:

My upgrade is going to be in December for Verizon. I have been tracking the phones, and my wife has the Droid X. So far I am looking at either the X or the Fascinate. Unless something else big comes out, the Samsung is where I am leaning. WHo knows, maybe the Droid Pro will release something better than a World D2. Still hoping for that gaming phone from Samsung and Sony to be released so I can check that out.

The_Omega_Man says:

I really really hope that this is not going to be an Epic Fail! LOL

Nice cinematic commercial an this along with the Verizon/Motorola commercials is setting an adventurous and futuristic theme to Android and the high end smart phones it has enabled, as of late.
