Sprint's Samsung m850 Dash in the wild with sweet, action-packed motion blur
We'd just seen the m850 Dash earn its FCC wings earlier today, and now here it is again -- this time in living color. Though we don't know whether it'll ultimately end up trading the Dash name we've heard so far for more familiar Instinct branding, it goes without saying that the new model is a spiritual member of the Instinct family, taking the curvy industrial design first seen in the s30 to another level. We'll admit, it's pretty -- but as we've said before, it remains to be seen how relevant a phone like this will ultimately be in the face of Android-powered models from Sammy on Sprint in the same price range.

Samsung m850 Dash for Sprint finds itself flush with FCC approval
That slick, shiny, Instinct-ish m850 Dash that first broke on invisibleSHIELD's site a few months back has been refreshed to the forefront of our memory today thanks to the good ol' boys and girls at the FCC. We can't really make anything of the filing beyond the fact that it'll have EV-DO, Bluetooth, and WiFi (nice), but we did find it interesting that the Samsung dude working to get the phone approved specifically says "We'd appreciated [sic] it if you would issue Grants ASAP," suggesting that someone -- say, Sprint, for instance -- is in a rush to get this puppy to market. With the s30 down below, the business case for the Dash (or whatever the go-to-market name ends up being) is a tricky one -- especially with an onslaught of Android gear on the way from these guys -- but we imagine they'll sell a few.
