Sprint Sets Launch Date for Instinct

Humberto Saabedra

Sprint has announced a June 20th release date for the Samsung Instinct.

The release date covers availability through Telesales, online, and Sprint retailers, but did caution that availability would be just short of a complete national launch as not every store would be stocked on that day.

The carrier has not set a pricepoint for the multimedia device, which features a capacitive touchscreen similar to the iPhone, EVDO Rev. A access, and GPS support. The phone is positioned as one of Sprint’s flagship devices for this year alongside the Treo 800w and the pending launches of the HTC Touch Diamond and Raphael smart devices.
