Sprint’s Samsung Instinct to be launched on June 20th

Eager to get your grubby hands on a new iPhone killer? Well then get them (and your wallets) ready because Sprint’s Samsung Instint has been confirmed to launch on June 20th, which is less than a month from now.

The Samsung Instinct maintains the same minimalist form factor, carrying a 3.1-inch touchscreen with it plus only three hard keys on its face. It also features local haptic feedback so that you’ll be able to feel each key press on its slippery touchscreen display. Other than that, it has basically the same features as the iPhone, without the dedication to music, of course.

Since Apple’s 2nd-gen fruit phone is expected to launch some time next month too, this could prove to be a hard sell for Samsung and Sprint. But then again, if their marketing team is good enough (and if the phone is as good as they say) perhaps enough people might be convinced to finally kill the Apple iPhone. Perhaps…
