Sprint and Samsung today announced the upcoming availability of Samsung Instinct s30, a successor to the Samsung Instinct touch-screen phone. The full touch screen phone is ideal for customers looking to simplify and increase the productivity of their business and personal lives with quick access to corporate calendar functionality via Microsoft Outlook. As what the rumor predicted, the Instinct S30 will be available from April 14th for $129.99 at launch with a two-year agreement, $70 instant savings and $100 mail-in rebate

The Samsung Instinct s30 has pre-installed applications like Microsoft, Live Search, Opera Mini 4.2, Visual Voicemail and Sprint TV. The touch screen will feature a QWERTY keyboard with haptic feedback. Other features include:

* 2 megapixel camera
* bluetooth
* threaded text messaging.
* Speech to Action button providing many functions using voice activation including call, text, traffic, movie, sports, news and search
* Calendar synchronization access to Microsoft Exchange Server and IBM Lotus Notes
* Access to Corporate and POP3 email including AOL, Gmail and Yahoo!
* Mobile Sync to restore contacts if the device is lost, stolen or damaged
* Dimensions: 2.1 x 4.6 x 0.5 inches; 3.9 ounces
* Display: 3.2” TFT (240 x 432 pixels and 262K vibrant colors)
* Standard Lithium (LiIon) battery: up to 4.6 hours continuous talk time
Instinct S30 will also be more “open” than its predecessor, with access to core Java APIs (application programming interface), including messaging, multimedia and Bluetooth, which allow developers to take advantage of the phone’s features. By providing this open access, Sprint is providing what developers have been seeking and making it possible for them to create more sophisticated and innovative new applications for customers to use on the Instinct family of phones.
“We are excited to introduce Instinct s30 into our portfolio in a few weeks as we continue the tradition of innovative and easy-to-use touch-screen devices that will appeal to a broad array of our customers,” said Kevin Packingham, Sprint senior vice president of product and technology development. “The original device surpassed our highest expectations for both customer interest and industry accolades. The enhancements on Instinct s30 make it even more versatile for our customers, and access to core Java APIs, such as messaging and multimedia, will make it even easier for more developers to create new applications.”
Sprint plans to extend access to these Java APIs to the Instinct s30’s predecessor, Instinct, within the next few months through an over-the-air software update. The Java APIs will then be available on all future Java-enabled Sprint phones.
