Sprint (NYSE: S) announced that it will offer a new QWERTY-keyboard equipped Windows Mobile 6.5 smartphone starting from October 11th. It’s called Samsung Intrepid and it looks like a successor to the Ace model.
Specs wise, aside from boasting the latest version of Microsoft (NSDQ: MSFT)’s mobile OS, the Intrepid comes with EV-DO Rev. A connectivity, 2.5-inch QVGA screen, 3.2-megapixel camera, Bluetooth, WiFi, GPS, and a microSD memory card slot. The device can sing along Sprint Navigation and also comes with Adobe Flash Lite support, IM client, as well as social networking software that works with Facebook, Flickr and Twitter.
As for the pricing, Sprint will ask $149.99 for Intrepid after a $100 mail-in rebate and with a two-year contract.
I completely forgot that Microsoft had a mobile operating system.
Why oh why would anyone still use that sluggish OS when you’ve got better alternatives like WebOS, Android and mobile OSX?
