Sprint has just announced the Samsung Ace:
The Ace is very similar to the BlackJack II, and has the following specifications:
- Windows Mobile 6
- QVGA screen
- 64 MB of RAM/128 MB of ROM
- Bluetooth 2.0
However, the phone has a radio transmitter that is not limited to CDMA networks – instead, it also supports GSM900/1800, which is the prevalent wireless standard used approximately everywhere outside of the USA. Unfortunately, the GSM module is limited to GPRS(no 3G, no EDGE) – but I dare to say that this is still better than not having a phone at all…
With a 2yr contract, the phone costs 300$ – a 100$ mail rebate brings it down to 199$…
