Fort Worth, Texas
– RadioShack is adding Samsung’s
Android-powered Galaxy S-series phones.
The units are the
Samsung Epic for Sprint, Vibrant for T-Mobile and Captivate for AT&T, which
are all equipped with a 4-inch
super-AMOLED screen and 1-GHz processor for HD video playback providing
multimedia features.
“The Samsung
Galaxy S smartphones seamlessly combine leading edge technologies to deliver a
stunning entertainment, social networking and gaming experience,” said Daniel
Liberman, mobility senior VP for RadioShack.
“By offering the
Galaxy S smartphones from three national carriers, RadioShack provides both
exceptional choice and unbiased advice in selecting the right phone, carrier,
and service plan for your lifestyle.”
RadioShack will
offer a limited number of pre-orders for Samsung Epic 4G from Sprint
