Rumours of a smaller version of Samsung’s successful Instinct handset are seeing some traction as a new phone bearing model number SPH-M810 has passed through the FCC. EVDO was tested on this phone,  supporting the earlier notion that Sprint will be carrying this Instinct Mini, but it remains to be seen if it will have any other major differences with its big brother, other than size. They say it’ll have Push-To-Talk and launch on April 19th., but all of that is up in the air until we get an announcement, which really should be any day now that the FCC paperwork is finished.
