'The Epic 4G is a surprisingly thin slider phone at 4.9 by 3.5 by .56 inches (HWD) and 5.46 ounces. '
'This Android 2.1 phone comes ready to battle the powerful Evo 4G with it gorgeous Super AMOLED display and one of the most comfortable physical keyboards we've used on a mobile device.'
'The Samsung Epic 4G is one of the best phones we've tested to date, and it's certainly the best Galaxy S model. '
'Out of the Galaxy phones I've tested, the Epic 4G is definitely the best, and it's certainly one of the top Android phones available. '
'The phone also offers various shooting modes (Single shot, Self shot, Beauty, Smile shot, Continuous and Panorama), scene modes and camera settings like exposure value, timer, white balance, resolution and effects. '
'Slim.'
'The phone measures 122.4mm x 64.2mm x 9.9mm (4.81in x 2.52in x .38in) also comes with the Swype virtual QWERTY keyboard for quick and accurate text input, ThinkFree for opening and editing Microsoft Office 2007 documents, and a cradle that lets the device double as a photo frame, alarm clock, calendar, or music station. '
'The large 4-inch Super AMOLED display delivers unrivalled screen quality, with less reflection, free viewing angles and super-fast touch-response. '
'The overall feel of the phone mirrors that of the Samsung Jet - it has a similar (if larger) layout on the back of the phone, and has a weird spring-like response when you tap it as the haptic feedback device inside is clearly finely balanced.'
'good phone'
'The Samsung Galaxy Portal is a pretty nice device overall. '
'Bad battery life • Poor multimedia support • Touchscreen isn't as responsive as we'd like.'
