Samsung's Pink Instinct

Samsung has introduced the Instinct in Pink, the color that has taken the mobile phone world by storm. Beginning on January 13, 2009 Samsung customers could purchase the Samsung Instinct in the hottest color available – Pink, and at a red-hot price of only $99 after $100 mail-in rebate and 2-year contract. Savings like that will make the competition ‘pink’ with envy.

Samsung’s Instinct has been a huge hit from the moment it hit the market. Within days of becoming available it was the fastest selling EVDO mobile handset in Sprint’s history and it continued to pull record sales in through the 2008 holiday season. During the first two weeks of sales the Instinct account for twenty percent of all Sprint’s handsets being sold.

According to Kevin Packingham, Sprint’s SVP of Product Development, the Instinct has been a success from both the sales and the innovative perspective. By bringing the price under the $100 mark, Sprint will be able to offer more people the option of a touch screen phone and the best 3G network available.
