Hands-On With the Sprint BlackBerry Curve 8350i
PhoneArena put together this great hands-on video with the Sprint BlackBerry Curve 8350i. Figured it was worth a look. Personally, I won’t be picking this device up seeing as I’m in Canada… But at the very least it is worth a peek. From all the reports and details I’ve read on the device, the form…

Sprint goes live with Pink Samsung Instinct!
As expected, Sprint has just gone live with their more feminine-hued variant of the Sprint Samsung Instinct. The Pink Sprint Instinct was spotted hanging out at Best Buy’s online storefront last month, and is now available for Sprint smartphone-customers with an extra “X” chromosome.

Palm has made it clear that the US will be the inaugural launch-market for the Palm Pre and its accompanying Web OS.
