Sprint prepped to launch Samsung SPH-M800

[D/\SH]

Today Mobiledia released the first information and image of the Samsung SPH-M800 for Sprint. It appears to be the US CDMA variant of the F490, as the U940 for Verizon is a variant of the F700. It will have very similar design, candybar with a huge touch display and three buttons on the front side, but it will have different features and specifications. Unfortunately, the 5-megapixel camera is replaced with a standard 2-megapixel one, and most likely the Croix user interface is replaced with one, matching the carrier's phones. Currently there are only a few details about the phone, including EV-DO support, Stereo Bluetooth and GPS. We will update you once there is more information.

slashgear article from jan 10th.

Have not seen anything more since then. I have the Touch currently but am VERY interested in this model.

Has some info in the article about screen size and basic features. Nothing much more than listed above, but some a little more info. That is if the info turns out to be correct.

SPHM800ZKS is being reported as the sku.

per reputable source it should be out by the end of this month.

I cannot confirm this but just passing along.
