Sprint goes on launch frenzy with three new launches today: RIM BlackBerry, Pocket PC and Power Vision. The 830W cell phone from Samsung will retail for $600 with a 2-year plan. You can always opt for the plan-less phone by paying an additional $150 to a total of $750 just for the phone. With quad-band GSM/GPRS, CDMA/EVDO, Windows Mobile 5 OS and an Intel PXA272 microprocessor, we can’t say the phone isn’t sweet. Similarly, the Power Vision 8400 comes with tons of drooling features, such as Bluetooth, 1.3-megapixel camera, live TV, music downloads and multiplayer game action. For the gadgeter in you, this phone will run you about $100 after rebates, instant savings and a 2-year plan. That’s not a bad deal at all. And finally, RIM’s BlackBerry 8703e goes on sale as well with EVDO speeds and GPS capability (nothing else is new from the 8700 series) for $350 after discounts and a 2-year contract. The phones are all nice and loaded with next-generation of features that we all want and “need,” but be careful when selecting your phone carrier. Picking the right carrier is far more difficult than getting the right phone these days. |
