Sprint may not be the number one mobile carrier, but it sure does seem to be picking up the slack in the handset department recently. The Now Network is expected to get yet another new mobile in the form of the Samsung Instinct HD.
Looks like the rumor we noted back in August about a September launch window was correct. According to a “trusted” PhoneDog source, the Samsung Instinct HD should be arriving on Sprint’s shelves on September 27 and is expected to retail for something between $99 and $149.
Here’s the rest of the “leaked” info:
