We have some more pics, and although it still looks like an Epic 4G, there are some differences with the keyboard.

There has been a lot of talk that the Epic 4G will ship with Android 2.3 Gingerbread, but Sprint has just confirmed that the above screenshot is indeed a typo. Yes it stinks, but typos do happen, I think I might have made one or two myself in the past. Okay, I made a lot [...]
