Sprint newsletter lets slip Instinct HD

Samsung still hasn't come completely clean with its forthcoming Instinct HD, but it might as well. A recent Sprint Premier Connection newsletter not only introduced the Any Mobile, Anytime plan that was detailed this morning, but it also let slip a staggeringly pixelated image of the Instinct HD. Sprint tells us a few things we already knew -- like how the phone has a 3.2-inch display that's decidedly not high-def, a 5 megapixel camera and an improved web browser -- while leaving us to wonder about things like price after rebate. We'll take "Coming soon!" to mean "within the next month or so." Right, Sprint?

God damn, so the phone that had an original projected launch of Q2 09, now is bordering on becoming Q4 09. They should just slap the name Samsung Instinct Nuvi on it and launch it in a year. I'm getting tired of waiting for this phone. I've been waiting 4 months since I returned my S30. I even passed up on the Pre because I liked the S30 so much.

I thought it was the instinct Q that all the buzz is about , to compete with the HTC Hero launching as a Best Buy exclusive for now, Instinct Q will not launch until sometime in NOV. it has WIFI and most important a slide out full keyboard. and of course Android. Second phone for sprint with Android unless something else pops up out of the blue which seems to be happening a lot lately

I believe this to be great news, but 3.2"... not "HD" enough >_>.
*still waiting for Touch HD2*

I don't get it, what is so "HD" about it?

It records video in 720p. Even though the screen isnt 720p. BUT it has a mini hdmi out on the right side under a hatch with a label of "video out" on it. So it can take 720p then play it straight to your HDTV.

Would this be better or worse than the Omnia HD? And the Omnia PRO with its Android goodness? what happened to it?
