According to one of our insider sources over at Sprint, there is already an issue emerging out of Samsung’s just-launched Epic 4G. In speaking with our insider, we are being told that the Epic 4G is having a problem with the capacitive back button on the bottom of the device. The button can become unresponsive, up to the point of being completely unusable. Sprint has, apparently, already had returns on the device due to this issue. There are also various reports that the issue may also affect any or all of the capacitive touch buttons.

So, would you like some kind of confirmation as to when you’re going to get some Android 2.1 goodness on your Sprint Android-based devices? You know the ones: the HTC Hero and Samsung Moment. Well, looks like we can finally put ourselves to some type of ease, as we’ve just seen an internal Sprint screenshot that details (without much detail) the upcoming release of the Android 2.1 upgrade.

This is good news and bad news. The Galaxy S is one of the most powerful Android handsets to be released in the near future

Is this the Samsung Moment 2? I for don’t think so. It would be a bad move by both Samsung a Sprint to release a second version of this device only 6 months after the release of the original. I think this is a prototype or developer version of the Moment. Although, I could be wrong, this could happen and it could happen soon.
