Sprint Samsung Instinct for $199.99

Sprint Samsung Instinct for $199.99. While everyone is expecting the Apple iPhone 3G for $199.99, Sprint distributed internally the pricing for the Samsung Instinct. And, indeed, the price has responded to the announcement of iPhone 3G. The initial full retail price of the phone will cost $449.99.

There will be a $150 instant rebate with new two-year agreements (standard for most Sprint devices). Sprint will add on top of that, a $100 mail-in rebate specifically for Instinct. Combining both rebates, the final price of Instinct will be $199.99. That is the same price as iPhone 3G, taking into account the two-year agreement on both carriers.
