Samsung, Sprint Launch the Intrepid
Posted in: samsung, Smart Devices, Sprint, Today's Chili, Windows Mobile
Sprint and Samsung have launched the Intrepid, a Windows Mobile 6.5 world smartphone that hooks into Sprint’s EV-DO Rev A data network here in the states and GSM networks overseas.
Aside from the new OS, the Samsung Intrepid is fairly pedestrian. It’s a rather modest update to its mediocre predecessor, the Samsung Ace–and has nothing on today’s powerful Windows Mobile 6.5 handset introductions like the HTC Imagio (on Verizon) and HTC Pure (on AT&T).
The Intrepid features a 2.5-inch touch screen with a now old-hat 320-by-240-pixel resolution and a hardware QWERTY keyboard. There’s a 3.2-megapixel camera, GPS, a microSD card slot, quick access to social networking sites (including Facebook, Flickr, and Twitter), and built-in Wi-Fi.
The Intrepid also features Sprint’s usual bevy of streamed multimedia services, including Sprint TV, Sprint NFL Mobile Live, and NASCAR Sprint Cup Mobile. It will hit stores and Sprint’s Web site on Sunday, October 11th for a rather high $149.99 with a two-year service agreement and after various rebates.
