As expected, Samsung’s Instinct HD has been made official on Sprint and will be available for $249.99 on contract after rebates as of September 27. The pricetag is just a teensy bit outside the projected range of $99 and $149, but let’s take a look at the specs and see the Instinct HD is worth it.
- 5 megapixel camera, capable of HD video recording
- Wi-Fi, GPS, EV-DO Rev. A
- 3.2″, 320 x 480 display
- 5.8 hours talk time
- 4.63 x 2.28 x 0.50 inches, 4.01 ounces
Sprint makes a point to say that the HD element isn’t actually playback on the device, but rather through the HD-capable TV-out. If that’s something you’re really looking for, Best Buy will have the Instinct HD available on launch day, and Sprint retail stores will have it on October 11.
