The Samsung Intercept was scheduled to launch on Sprint July 11, but one lucky shopper picked his up early and provides us with a hands-on tour. The Intercept runs Android 2.1 (with Google), 3.2 megapixel camera, 3.2″ 800 x 480 touchscreen, Wi-Fi, GPS, has an optical trackpad, and landscape slide-out keyboard. The video doesn’t really reveal anything unexpected, but it’s interesting to know that Best Buy is potentially selling these bad boys early. The reviewer says that he paid $100 for it, presumably on contract, and he thinks it’ll go for $130 from Sprint.
As a sequel to the Moment, the Intercept looks promising, but it would be an unfair fight when compared to some of the high-end Android phones coming out, like the HTC EVO 4G and the Motorola Droid X. There’s still no sign of the Samsung Intercept in Sprint’s online store, but odds are it’ll be coming soon.
