After the first images and information surfaced on the Samsung Intercept last week, Sprint has officially announced the mid-range Android device and successor to the Moment for $99.99 after $100 mail-in rebate and slated for launch on July 11th.
The Intercept features a hardware QWERTY keyboard, 3.0 inch capacitive touch display at 400×240 resolution, 3.2 megapixel camera with video recorder and autofocus, microSDHC slot with support for 32GB cards, Bluetooth with stereo audio support and Android 2.1.

According to this site with the Intercept’s full specs, its screen is only 240×400, which is a major downgrade from the Moment’s 320×480:

Other downgrades:
1) All sources report that the Intercept supports only the obsolete, slower EVDO rev0, not the current revA.
2) All sources report that the Intercept has no camera flash.
only rev 0???? that is very surprising, this must be a very low end product.
A video review by Mobile Tech Review illustrates that:
1) Sprint TV is unwatchable on the rev 0 of the Intercept.
2) YouTube is unwatchable except in low-quality mode on the rev 0 of the Intercept.
The reviewer also comments that some apps included with the Intercept don’t display properly on the 240×400 screen.
