Sprint logoAgain, we have some inside information about the upcoming Sprint’s announcements. Before we start rolling, it’s important to note that all prices don’t seem to involve any contracts. They’ll certainly go down with an appropriate plan… Let’s roll:

February:

  • The Samsung ACE is coming right on time and will be officially launched on February 17th. Price, as expected, will be $449.
  • At the same time, the carrier will also release the Samsung M520, the thin slider with built-in GPS receiver and will start selling it for $249.
  • Finally and again on 2/17/2008, the new Sierra Wireless AirCard 597E will git the Sprint’s offering for $329.

March:

  • LG Rumor will appear in a new color – green. Price: $279.99.
  • The carrier will also launch Alcatel-Lucent’s secure connection card AL3500. Price: $499.99.

There you have it. Nothing too exciting here. I guess we’ll see tons of new products later in the year following the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona. Stay tuned…

[Thanks Sim]

Dusan has been using smartphones since their introduction and is now following the latest trends in the industry. The "convergence" is what he's most excited about, and writing about it is the next logical thing to do. He thinks that using a smartphone is what everyone who cares about their time should do. In addition to his interests in mobile phones, Dusan also loves to experiment with the latest web and mobile 2.0 services. The idea of accessing and managing your information from any device no matter where you are simply amazes him. Whether it's an online to-do list, note taking service or a video sharing social network, he's there to try it out. He admits though, he's still searching for the ultimate web-based organizational tool, which "sings" perfectly with the mobile PIM application. Dusan used to run SymbianWatch.com which later became part of IntoMobile. He lives in Serbia, South-East Europe, from where he edits the site on a daily basis.
