Many anonymous Sprint reps are confirming the existence of the recently unknown Sprint Samsung InstinctQ with the model code of SPH-M900 thanks to the Wi-Fi Alliance outing the most bare of specifications in an approval document (PDF).
Drawing on past release history, Samsung has reserved the SPH-x00 series numbering for milestone and flagship models and this one is no exception.
What is currently known about the Instinct Q is that it will feature a Wi-Fi radio and Bluetooth, with Sprint reps confirming other details such as the form factor which will be a wide aspect horizontal slider with a large touchscreen display and sliding QWERTY keyboard running an unknown version of Android.
Other sites have also claimed that the M900 would feature QChat and a 3.0 megapixel camera but that has not been confirmed by PhoneNews.com.
At this point, it is not clear whether this is the same device revealed by PhoneNews.com in May, or an altogether different device entirely. Adding to the confusion is the fact that the as yet unseen Samsung Dash is similar in description to the InstinctQ, but features BREW 4.0 instead of Android according to the most recently available roadmap.
PhoneNews.com will follow up with more details as they become known.
That is the phone I’m waiting on
If it has Android, QChat and a 3 MP camera, I’m in!
I am desperate to see Sprint with an Android.
I don’t understand why the 2nd Gen Instinct has a projected 5mp cam but the IQ is only 3. Wasn’t the Samsung Android supposed to be all touch, it’s said this will have a slide out qwerty?
