Reclaim might be taking center stage today, having found itself a home with Sprint, but Samsung had a couple other forward-thinking comments that we think are worth highlighting. For starters, the Now Network should expect to carry a high-end, AMOLED device from the phone maker in the fourth quarter of this year. That description, however, fits the bill for
any number of Sammy phones currently in the works -- if we had to take a shot in the dark, we'd be anxious to know what screen technology is inside the oft-rumored
InstinctQ. Looking ahead to 2010, Reclaim product manager mentioned to
NY Times that it'll be launching an Android device "for well under $100" next year -- looks like the
HTC Click is gonna have itself some competition, after all. Hey Sammy, you know what'd be great? A smartphone that was Android, AMOLED,
and under $100 -- we can dream, can't we?

omg want
If sprint doesnt announce the HTC touch Pro2 soon I am leaving them. My contract is up bitches! :)
come to t mobileeeeeeeeeeeeeee.
What ever happened to the Samsung Omnia HD ? That phone was beautiful.
Well in the UK its being sold by Orange for an extortionate price.
Does my bitterness at not being able to afford it come through in that?
sup dude, i'm posting this from my omnia hd right now;)
nothing happened to it and it still is beautiful
Yep, I've been using my unlocked unit since last june :)
I hate my AT&T
if sprint gets the omnia 2 and not at&t i'm going to be so pissed!
Will say it once again, Sprint is stepping up the phone selection. Pre, tp2, hero, tour, now this, just keep it coming sprint
go sprint
Dude I wants
Sprint is on a role lately!
Sucks cause my htc touch is getting old fast!
I updated to the hero rom. At least that's new!
I want to upgrade soon,
Good news though!
Sprint is stepping it up with the phone selection. Meanwhile, I hear Verizon is getting a new phone sometime in 2010.
The Samsung Rouge is supposed to come to Verizon sometime this month from what I've heard.
We're getting close to that premier Android device. I'd love to see..
OLED
3-5 MP with a good lens and flash
5 row QWERTY slider (or a damn good on screen keyboard)
The usual assortment of wifi, bluetooth, 3G, A-GPS
MicroSD slot
3.5mm jack
Some home baked 2.0 goodies
I had a waffle today. It was good.
A good bit of RAM and something other than that damn 528 Qualcomm processor.
Yes! When I found out the Touch Pro2, Diamond2, Touch HD, Dream(G1), Magic(touchMy) had the same proceesor as my old(still in use) Touch Pro, I was VERY dissapointed. Only Samsung phones seam to be High-tech now, the 6 month older Omnia HD is TWICE as fast as Nokia 97 for a lower price. The Omnia 2 I guess will be the Flag carrier for Windows Mobile.
Oh and something better than that ubiquitous 528MHZ Qualcomm processor and a good bit of RAM to boot.
Aw I failed =/
So are we looking at the tegra/4g device that's in the works?
Thank Dan Hesse... he's making a valiant effort to push Sprint to the forefront and shed the lowly customer service and phone selection. Handing off the day-to-day network operations to Ericsson i think will pay off in the future as Sprint concentrate on other aspects of the company. Looking good for the 4th quarter... im down to 2 old SERO500 lines with the Pre purchase... so I hope these Sammies dont come with strings attached or I will have to unfortunately pass.
Agreed... I have the two old SERO 500's lines for my wife and I, and I would love to get one of these new high-end phones later this year when my contract ends.
WHoooo Whooot!!!!!!! Bout time Sprint stepped up their A-game... Gonna be tough choices between the pro,hero and now a SAmsunG!!!!!!
I
SERO!!!!
Can only hope that they don't force everyone to get an EP for all of these new phones that are coming out (TP2, Hero, these phones).
I think the tp2 will work well with the sero plan, but i doubt this and the hero will work with sero most likely they will be forced to an EP.
Will it be viewable in sunlight? Current OLED screens are horrible in sunlight.
If it's any better than current LCDs found on phones than I'm in.
I just want honesty here. What is the hang up with sprint I don't get it they have the best plans with the most free options. Why are people not switching over? The pre is sick... And the only real option vs the iphone and may be as good storage space is the only thing the iphone does better well videotoo and the app store but I think that pre's app store will catch up quick by november. Pluss they keep coming out with new cool phones like this one. But the big thing is they have the best plan by far!!! I don't get it please fill me in.
Because they do have the best plans by far, that is the reason why I did in fact switch a little over a year ago.
My SERO plan as it is, coupled with my Google Voice + Pick Three option, is by far and away the best phone/data plan on the planet.
Unlimited Data
Unlimited Tethering (WinMo Hack)
Unlimited M2M
Unlimited Outgoing calls (Google Voice + Pick Three)
Unlimited SMS / MMS
Unlimited N/W (starting at 5PM)
1250 Anytime Mins
Turn by Turn Voice GPS Navigation
-> $49 / month
Best plan on the planet (for $30, I could have the same exact plan but with 500 anytime).
Coverage has also been nothing short of great, it's worked all over the country so far (traveled to about a dozen states east to west coast).
Phone has been awesome (Touch Pro + custom WM 6.5 ROM -- MightyROM)
Just waiting for a Tegra-based WinMo phone now.
If I was on Verizon and in need of a new phone, I would definitely be jumping ship ASAP to Sprint for this or the tp2.
Android under $100, brand new, would do far better than the Pre.
As a Samsung Impression owner, I'm having a hard time getting excited about anything they put out. Hear me out before going insane.
Samsung phones are fantastic. Nice solid build, great screen, awesome picture, top to bottom nice devices. However, Samsung follow up support and apps is non-existent. They will squeeze out phone after phone and not revisit customers that still have bugs in their firmware.
The only way I'll ever another Samsung phone is if it's definitely running a non-Samsung OS. If it's running Android for sure, I'm all for it (when it gets to AT&T, because Sprint is craptastic in my area).
I think that depends on how much a carrier hassles them to fix said bugs- a great example would be the Instinct. That thing has had like 10 firmware/software updates since its launch to the point that it's about as good as a feature phone can get with it's only real flaws it's resistive screen and not enough RAM to render some HTML pages.
YES IT WILL COME OUT ON DECEMBER AND IT WILL HAVE SOMETHING 2 DO WITH SONY'S PLAYSTATION NETWORK
Caps lock. It can be turned off as well as on.
Yes yes yes! Now I can keep my 30$ SERO plan forever! WEEEE!
