Sprint just announced their Samsung ACE as another world-traveling handset to add to their global-phone lineup. Engadget Mobile has had some time to play with the Sprint Samsung ACE and came away satisfied. The Samsung ACE isn’t a whole new take on the QWERTY-keyboard toting Windows Mobile 6.0 Standard idea, but is rather a Sprint-branded BlackJack II with some minor improvements.

Most notably, the slanted navigation-pad has gotten a bit of an update from the Samsung BlackJack II and the keyboard’s numeric section has been revised. As expected, the Sprint-branding comes with some Sprint specific offerings like Sprint TV and On Demand. The EVDO data connection is nice and speedy, but with no 3G radio on the GSM side of things, globe-trotting with the Samsung ACE could leave you wanting for faster data.
