Sprint Launches Pink Instinct at $99.99 After Rebate (Updated Again)

By on January 13, 2009

pink-instinctSprint has launched the Pink variant of the continually improved Samsung Instinct high-end feature phone.

The device features the same EVDO Rev. A data access,  3.1 inch WQVGA resolution display with haptic feedback, HTML web browser, media player, GPS support through Sprint Navigation as well as the 2.0 megapixel camera with video recorder and flash, speakerphone, Bluetooth with stereo audio support, microSDHC expansion slot with built-in 2GB card, stylus, and two batteries included along with visual voicemail support as found on the the prior model.  The new model adds the prior firmware updates that have enabled Sprint Mobile Email Work Exchange/Notes/Domino calendar integration, and needed software improvements.

Update: The phone is now available for $199.99 after new 2 year agreement and a $100 instant credit, before an additional $100 mail-in rebate, bringing the total to $99.99

    Dear Sprint,

    Please de-fugly the UI. Make it match the pink or at least be neutral or white.

    “The phone is now available for $249.99 after new 2 year agreement before an additional $100 mail-in rebate, bringing the total to $99.99.”

    Last I checked $249.99 minus $100, equals $149.99. Must be a rounding issue.

    I’ve since pinned it to Sprint’s site not correctly posting the Web Special discount correctly, and I’ll modify the article until I hear something from them about the math issue.

    SRP for the phone is $449.99, you get $150 off with a new 2yr and an additional $100 for an instant credit. After that it is a $100 MIR to make the final cost $99.99 if elligilbe to upgrade or new lines of service.

    Guys, I’m not seeing the info for the instant credit after the $150 instant discount and the mail-in rebate on the sales page. That’s where the initial confusion started.

    You can get it at Radio Shack for 79.99 with instant rebates. That means no mail in rebates for customers.
