Sprint confirmed today that the Samsung Instinct will be available on June 20th for $129.99. Although Sprint has not been confirmed before we've heard numbers ranging from $200 - $300, which indicates that Sprint may be moving to cut the price in order to better compete with the new $199 iPhone. Like the iPhone the Instinct is a touch screen phone with advanced capabilities, although it does not run a smart phone operating system. We expect to get our review phone in shortly and we'll have our usual thorough review up shortly thereafter, so keep an eye on the site.

Parting Shots: Samsung Glyde
Added on 2008-05-29 10:08:00
by Alfredo Padilla
 We spent the last couple of weeks with the Samsung Glyde from Verizon. Unfortunately this $200 handset doesn't live up to its billing as an iPhone (review) competitor. The biggest problem with the Glyde is the very difficult to use touch screen. We found that we had to press on screen buttons multiple time and in particular areas like the web browser the touch screen seemed very inaccurate.
It's a shame since on paper the Glyde had a lot going for it, including a full QWERTY keyboard, GPS and support for V Cast Mobile TV, but given that you have to live with the touch screen very minute that you use the phone the problems with it ruin this device.
Read our full review of the Samsung Glyde here.

Parting Shots: Samsung Ace
Added on 2008-04-29 12:58:00
by Alfredo Padilla
 We wrapped up our review of the Samsung Ace from Sprint today and the phone turned out to be a solid smart phone. That's not to say that it doesn't have its negatives, however, starting with the poor camera, lack of Office Mobile and a price tag twice as high as comparable smart phones. The Ace's key feature is the ability to function on both Sprint's CDMA network and international GSM networks. This makes it a big winner for international travelers. If this isn't an issue for you we recommend saving $100 and going with the Palm Centro (review), which provides similar functionality. If you're not married to Sprint you can also go grab the Blackjack II (review), which is very similar to the Ace but with some upgrades like a better camera, from AT&T for half the price as well. Plus it will work on any international GSM network as well.
