Samsung Exclaim dual slider hitting Sprint next month?

Yo, Ocean 2, look out -- Samsung's onto your game. QWERTY dual sliders are still pretty frickin' rare as form factors go, but it seems like Sammy's looking to rock one in the next few weeks for Sprint. This is a device that we'd previously seen rumored as the Cello, and for a device that's clearly intended to be a mainstream SMS-heavy handset, the specs really aren't that bad: QVGA display, EV-DO, 2 megapixel cam with video recording, AGPS, and Bluetooth in your choice of two tasty colors. Rumor has it we'll see it hit the market on June 7 -- possibly alongside the Pre, of all things, in which case we wouldn't expect much fanfare on launch day.

I see this phone for a teenager maybe a parent buying a pre will add this phone to the account for a son or daughter. not bad looking but it will be overshadowed by the pre

I think it's going to be called the exclaim not the cello

I'm glad to see Sprint adding more options to the line up, I really wish they would add an elite line up for those willing to spend the extra $$ for exclusivity but then none of the US carriers do!
