    Now that it has cleared when will it come out and how much will it cost?

    It’s the original Ace on steroids. Faster processor, more memory, better carmera (3MP, orginal Ace has 1.3MP), faster data transfer (EVDO Rev a), Wifi, and better international coverage (4 GSM bands instead of just 2).

    It will run Win Mobile Pro 6.1 instead of Standard. Win Mobile 6.5 is not out yet, Samsung/Sprint might offer an update to 6.5 once it becomes available.

    None of the published specs mention a touch screen, this would make no sense since it still has a full keyboard like the original Ace.

    Probably won’t have a standard Headset Jack.

    Tell us something we don’t already know, like the price and if any changes have been made to the look of the phone? Will the phone look like the one shown in the example above? I like the color scheme of the jack better, but that won’t keep me from getting the phone.
