As of tomorrow (June 20th), Sprint Nextel Corp. will be taking on the iPhone with a lower price for its own touch-screen smart phone, the Samsung Instinct. The carrier said Wednesday that the Instinct will cost $129.99. That compares with $199 for the cheapest model of the new iPhone, which goes on sale July 11 with AT&T Inc. as the carrier.

My favorite part is the Instinct/iPhone comparison. Click below to get you some. In this comparison, they are clearly comparing the current iPhone model to the Instinct. As of July 11, the faster internet and GPS superiority will be nullified. That said, the Instinct will still be able to present live TV, offer music downloads without Wi-Fi and record video which the iPhone won’t be able to do. Oh yeah, and the Instinct is cheaper and looks pretty damn good…because it pretty much looks exactly like an iPhone.
Verizon plans to offer Visual Voicemail (a popular feature on the iPhone revealing a picture of the caller) on a selection of handsets later this summer, including the much-anticipated touchscreen BlackBerry Thunder. (Cynopsis 6/19)
