The Samsung Epic 4G Touch is coming to Sprint later this week, but there's still time to preorder the phone if you want to be among the first to get your hands on it. The Epic 4G Touch is expected to be available on September 16 for $199.99 after discounts and with a contract. Walmart shoppers can find an even better deal, however, as the big-box retailer is currently offering the phone for just $99.99 with a new two-year contract.

As you'll recall, the Samsung Epic 4G Touch is one of the members of Samsung's Galaxy S II line of smartphones. T-Mobile and AT&T will also be getting variants of this phone, though Sprint will be the first carrier to offer it.

The Epic 4G Touch features a 4.52-inch Super AMOLED Plus display, 1.2GHz dual-core processor, 1GB of RAM, 16GB of onboard storage, 8MP rear camera, and a 2MP front-facing camera. The smartphone runs on Android 2.3 and will have Samsung's Touch Wiz UI.
