Samsung Seek Touch Screen Messaging Phone

For all of those users out there feeling feature phones, Samsung is now giving you a new one with the Samsung Seek. On the outside of the phone there is a nice large touch screen, slide out QWERTY keyboard, 1.3 megapixel camera, and MicroSD slot. When you look at the software of the phone, however, you will see that the interface is very similar to the Samsung Instinct software. The phone even has the three buttons below the screen that were on the Instinct to go with the large on screen buttons, for better or for worst. One of the best things about the phone is that it is free with a new two year contract, and is available in red, blue, or pink.

HTC Evo Breaks Sales Records

The HTC Evo, Sprint's new superphone, has broken sales records for the carrier. Although false numbers were first reported because of an error in calculations, it has now been determined that the phone has now sold twice the amount during launch days than the Palm Pre, and six times greater than the Samsung Instinct. Because there were so many activations on launch day, Sprint's activation servers crashed and made it a very long process to get the phones activated. Stores eventually resorted to calling into Sprint to activate the phones. Hopefully the activation issues were from subscribers coming from other carriers and needing new accounts, but we will have to see how many new subscribers Sprint gained from the Evo when results from the quarter have been released.
