Sanyo Innuendo Full QWERTY Messaging Phone Now Available from Sprint

The Sanyo Innuendo, an update to the Sanyo Incognito, is now available from Sprint. The phone is very similar to the Incognito, featuring a "glow-thru" display and dial pad on the outside of the display, which means that when the keypad and outer display aren't lit up, they blend in with the rest of the phone. Other features of the Innuendo are a 3.2 megapixel camera, a full QWERTY keyboard, Sprint OneClick interface with dedicated Myspace, Facebook, and Twitter apps, GPS navigation, and threaded text messaging. Although the phone is currently only in bright blue, messaging phones are frequently available in multiple colors. The phone is available from Sprint for $49 with a new two-year contract. (Sprint)

Sprint Launches the Blackberry Curve 3G

The Blackberry Curve 3G smartphone, the next phone in the large Curve line from RIM, has been launched on Sprint. Besides a few minor cosmetic tweaks, the phone is very similar to the Curve 8530, featuring a 2.0 megapixel camera, a QWERTY keyboard, and an optical trackpad for navigation. The differences lie in the internals of the phone, where the Curve 3G sports double the memory as the Curve 8530. This means that the phone will be upgradable to Blackberry OS 6, which gives the Blackberry a much-improved web browser and other features, such as universal search and a redesigned home screen. The phone is available now for $49 with a new two-year contract, and an eligible data plan. (Sprint)
