Sprint has added a new color to its Motorola i776. The phone is now available in purple and still costs $80 on contract.

Starting yesterday the Android-based HTC Hero is available for purchase to Sprint customers trough the company's retail locations and online, as well as at BestBuy. The price is $179 ($479 off-contract). Now ask yourself this question: whats's better, Hero or Pre?

Samsung and Sprint have officially launched the Instinct HD. The handset is based on the features of its predecessors, and offers:

• 5Mpix camera with 720p (1280 x 720 pixels at 30 fps) video capture capabitity;
• HD TV-out (720p via HDMI);
• High-speed video at 80 fps at 480p resolution;
• Opera Mobile 9.7 web browser;
• Wi-Fi;
• Including accelerometer, light sensor and proximity sensor;
• Sprint's EVDO Rev.

An alleged internal Sprint memo has confirmed that the upcoming Samsung Instinct HD will be available to Sprint customers starting September 27th. To clarify, it will be launched on 26th, and released the next day. It is expected to go for between $99 and $149 on contract. Below you can see the phone's key specs as well as the full text from that said internal memo.

And another low-end phone from a Korean manufacturer: this time it's Samsung M240 for Sprint. Its features are very basic, including the non-EV-DO radio, voice dialing, speakerphone, basic web access, and support for up to 500 contacts. Get it for $19.99 on contract after instant discount if you're interested.

Sprint has dropped the price for the oh-so popular Palm Pre last week. The handset is now available for just $149.99 including a $150 instant rebate plus a $100 mail-in rebate. It means you'll still have to pay $249.99 in the store to buy the device, and if you think that's much, try and find it at a cheaper price.

Sprint has officially launched the HTC Touch Pro2. You can order one now by logging on the company's online store to place your order. The phone will cost you $349.99 after rebate and discount on a new 2-year contract.

Sprint will be the first and only carrier to offer the HTC Hero in the U.S. The phone will be available exclusively from the carrier starting October 11th and will cost $179.99 after rebates. Pre-registration is currently available for those eager to already claim stake.

Two new handsets have surfaced on Sprint rebate sheets valid through October 31st. The first is called the Samsung Interpid, which is the long awaited Ace II, which is expected to be launched on October 6th the earliest. Rumored specs include:

• Windows Mobile 6.5 OS;
• CDMA/EV-DO Rev. A and GSM/GPRS/EDGE connectivity;
• 256 MB RAM and 512 MB ROM;
• 528MHz processor;
