Sprint Launching Samsung Instinct Tomorrow
Tomorrow, Sprint is going to introduce the Samsung Instinct, which isn’t a smartphone by most people’s definitions, but is still being viewed by many as a strong competitor for the iPhone.
This device will offer the features people have come to expect from a high-end phone, including a web browser, 3G, email, a GPS receiver, and more.
The Instinct will be based around a 3.1-inch, 240-by-432-pixel touchscreen. This will include tactile feedback, called haptics, which will allow the virtual QWERTY keypad to feel a little more like a real one.
This will be Sprint’s first consumer-oriented phone with EV-DO Rev. A, which offers faster data connections than the original version of EV-DO, especially when uploading.
Support for Sprint Navigation will bring GPS-enabled audio and on-screen turn-by-turn driving directions, including rerouting around traffic problems.
The Instinct will also support Sprint’s Visual Voicemail service.
Other features will include a 2.0 megapixel camera with camcorder, microSD memory card slot with SDHC support, and stereo Bluetooth 2.0.
Overall, this product will be 4.6 inches by 2.2 inches by 0.5 inches, and 4.4 ounces.
