The Samsung Instinct for Sprint will be huge. From back when it was still referred to simply as the M800, the device has shown tons of potential. We got a hands on with the device at CTIA this year. It is very clear this device is aimed squarely at the iPhone. Sprint has shown ads, and even licensed visual voice mail for the device, which is a iPhone only affair.

Even this screen shot shows Sprint is aiming the device at the iPhone, it has the features to back it up as well. With its speedy EV-DO Rev. A connectivity, it blows the iPhone’s EDGE out of the water. Also, the device features true GPS, and most other features are comparable between the devices. We have already known the device would launch in June, this ad of course confirms that.

Until now we did not know when in June the device will be launching. It seems now that the device will be launching on June 20th. It is pretty much a nationwide launch, with the device launching on most channels that day. Sprint said not all stores will be stocked though, and some retailers will not carry it. As far as online, and in corporate stores, the device will be ready to wow us on June 20th.
