Sprint announced the immediate availability of the Samsung Instinct in a new pink skin. The touch screen phone is now on sale at just $99.99 with a two-year contract and after a $100 mail-in rebate.

“Instinct has been a great success for us from both a sales and innovation perspective,” said Kevin Packingham, Sprint SVP of Product Development. “We are thrilled with our customer’s response to this dynamic, well-integrated and easy-to-use wireless phone. Bringing the price under $100 will make it even more accessible to customers who want the best of Sprint’s 3G network on a powerful touchscreen device.”

Much of the success of Instinct can be attributed to its industry-leading features including Visual Voicemail, allowing users to listen to messages in their order of preference and manage them with a simple tap of the screen. Additional features include advanced stereo Bluetooth 2.0, SMS voice and text messaging with threaded text, a true HTML Web experience, picture caller ID, a 2.0 megapixel camera with camcorder, haptic feedback and expandable microSD memory of up to 8GB.
