Sprint Instinct Rivals iPhone
Filed Under (General News) by mike

Sprint Instinct is the phone that goes on sale June 20 at $130 to challenge the other smartphones. Sprint promoted the Samsung made device today in a play to consumers lured away since the Nextel Sprint merger. The Sprint Instinct is their touch screen answer.

 

The competitor Apple phone will sell for $200 in July, and utilize a 3G network and have 8GB storage. The Sprint Instinct on the other hand has 2GB storage on their 3Mbps EVDO network, which has five times the coverage over AT&T wireless EDGE.

Sprint claims the Instinct operates at blazing fast speeds and does not need a redundant wifi connection.

Sprint’s data plan for the Instinct phone costs $100 per month with unlimited voice and data.

As Apple touts its new high speed 3G phone, Sprint is in the process of installing 4G and WiMax network infrastructure that will eclipse previously available wireless transfer rates, matching land line speeds and promising true mobile wireless broadband.

I hope Sprint gets over its market troubles. We need more competition in the wireless industry. It would be nice to have cross platform compatibility though.
