Sprint will launch a new Samsung phone, the Exclaim M550, which is the successor of the Rant. You can expect both an QWERTY keyboard and a keypad ready to meet your texting needs. And both keypads are sliding out which is quite a neat trick. Other features include:

• A 2.6 QVGA display
• EV-DO Rev. 0 connectivity
• Social networking applications
• GPS
• 2MP camera
• Memory expansion slot, up to 32GB

The phone should be available starting with June 7 for an undetermined price. We’ll be back with those price tags as soon as Sprint announces them.
