Being hailed as the “true” successor to the Samsung Instinct instead of the S30, the m850 Dash is yet to give us an official peek, but that’s not stopping Zagg from spewing out a few protective covers for it under its invisibleSHIELD brand.  While the scratch-proof, military-grade protective film will be great, what we are more interested in is how the Dash looks, which is evident by the picture they have put up to show off their wares. So, how do you like it? We still have no information on its specs though it would be safe to assume a touchscreen HVGA display and support for Sprint’s CDMA and EVDO networks.  The Samsung m850 Dash is scheduled for a summer release, provided Sprint doesn’t have a change of heart to move it further.

The important details of a release date and a price tag, the only things we didn’t know about the Samsung Instinct Mini or the S30 or the M810 have become known at last!  Thanks to some curious Joe and his handy camera, we now have information that the M810 is going to be released this coming month on April 15 through Brightpoint and will be available in choices of Graphite and Bronze colors from Sprint.  The price tag is not as small as the handset and it will sell for a cool $450, but if we are getting the same goodness the original Instinct had to offer, you won’t catch us complaining!

It seems that the first live shots of the fabled Samsung Instinct Mini have hit the web thanks to our spy friends with poor quality cameras.

The phone is said to share the same features as it’s big brother, the Instinct, with an obviously smaller form factor.

Samsung’s Instinct Mini is supposed to go on sale April 19th with Sprint for around $129.99 and a 2 yr contract.

Seems like Samsung has thought better and instead of belittling its own best-selling device, it has decided to simply name Instinct’s upcoming little brother as the S30, which recently passed through the FCC scanner when we knew it as the Instinct Mini.  But other than the name, Samsung will be making no major changes in the feature set.  So, we wouldn’t be surprised if we found a 2-megapixel cam, microSD/microSDHC support, a music player, a somewhat downsized touchscreen display, and CDMA with EV-DO support on the network side when it is announced officially.  The whole package also goes for more rounded edges with the lower part becoming a bit more thicker than the Samsung Instinct.

There is still no word on pricing or availability, so stay tuned and we’ll keep you updated.

Samsung SPH-M810 has just passed the FCC and rumors say this handset might just be the Instinct Mini we’ve talked about earlier. The phone should be brought by Sprint to its customers. According to the FCC the phone is “cellular / PCS CDMA phone with Bluetooth and EvDO” which fits perfectly with Sprint’s network.

The new Samsung Instinct Mini should have the same features as the original Instinct and it will also come with Push-to-Talk tricks. The phone will be released in March for a price similar to Sprint’s current offer on the Instinct, $129 with a 2-year contract agreement.
