Sprint's pink Instinct shows up on Best Buy's site for outrageous price

by Chris Ziegler posted Dec 31st 2008 at 3:31AM

We'd pegged early January for the release of a pink Samsung Instinct on Sprint's airwaves, and Best Buy's doing everything it can to help us hold the line on that with a new "Coming Soon" page advertising just such a product. Unfortunately, they're asking a whopping $599.99 for the pleasure of being the first kid on your block with this thing, but the off-contract pricing in Best Buy's system is usually way out of whack -- we wouldn't worry about paying anything close to $200 on contract by the time you actually step into the store.

Yeah, the price is showing up at $599.99 if it's purchased at the full price, without upgrading the contract, but if people are going to upgrade their line or are getting a new line of service, it's going to be the same price as the Black Instinct. Or at least that's what we at Best But have been told.
