The Samsung Instinct is available today, June 19, for those who received a pre-release email from Sprint that invites them to the early sale. The release date for everyone else is Friday June 20. If you didn’t get the pre-release invitation you could head to eBay and get ripped off by buying some guy’s printed invite buy one, but why bother when these invites have been posted all over the place – like here and here. If buying an Instinct is on your “to do” list, print an invite and pick up the iPhone lookalike today. Expect to pay $229 and send in a $100 rebate for a net of $129. And rumor is that Best Buy will be offering the Instinct for $129 without the need to send in any rebate forms. At least for now it doesn’t appear that the SERO plans work with this – so expect to pony up for a Simply Everything plan. Of course you could also wait a month until the iPhone 3G launches and Sprint will probably pay you to buy this phone.
