Samsung Instinct S30 now on sale at Sprint: $129.99 on contract

Right on cue, Samsung's retooled Instinct (that'd be the Instinct S30, if you had any doubts) has gone on sale at Sprint. You'll also notice that the $129.99 on-contract price we heard about is completely in tact, despite the fact that Best Buy Mobile could be selling this same handset in stores later this week for $80 less. At any rate, those champing at the bit to get one headed their way can now do so after choosing between Cobalt Metal and Touch of Copper hues, and if you're looking to snag one with no strings attached, you'll be paying $449.99 in order to do so.

[Thanks, Mike]

Have the original version of this phone, its sitting under my TV (yes, under it), and I use a BlackBerry Curve (the best phone Sprint has currently IMO)...

The original I paid $250 plus tax, then I got not a $100 rebate, but a $320 rebate....oops, Sprints bad... I cashed that and put it into the credit card, paid the bill with it.

Point is here.... If its under my TV, its not that great a phone. Anyone who would pay MORE then $129 for it is an idiot. It really is worth $129.

Why it does'nt have the touchWIZ UI?
I have a Samsung Omnia which is OK even if here in Europe we get only the i900 as opposed as the i910 americans can buy.
But what kind of animal is this? And where is the OmniaHD Samsung promised us?

Tell me again what this has over the old Instinct? Also, what is seriously up with the "S30" designation?!

More responsive touchscreen that's 3.2" vs. 3.1", More open Java implementation to improve application compatibility and availability, cheaper (if you go with Best Buy) and may or may not require an everything data plan. That and of course the styling is different...
