Okay, so it won't be August 21st but Sprint has just announced that they'll be launching their own Galaxy S variant, the Samsung Epic 4G, on August 31st. The smartphone will cost you $249.99 on a 2-year contract after a $100 mail-in rebate. This is a pretty amazing smartphone and could be the best Android phone to date. We'll have to see how the reviews go. Specs are below, courtesy of Gizmodo.

Update: According to Slash Gear, reservations for the Epic 4G will start on August 13th (tomorrow!).

The quick specs: 1GHz Samsung Cortex A8 processor, 4-inch Super AMOLED capacitive display, Android 2.1 (not surprising that it doesn't have 2.2 yet), 3G/4G hotspot, 5-megapixel camera with auto focus, LED flash, 720p video recording, front-facing camera for video chat, Samsung's AllShare and Social Hub features, 3.5mm headset, the normal Sprint apps, 802.11b/g/n Wi-Fi, compass, six-axis motion sensor and an included 16GB microSD card.
