We’ve seen the Instinct S30 aka Instinct Mini quite a few times until now, but it’s only today that Samsung officially presented the handset.
Obviously bearing Sprint’s logo, Samsung Instinct S30 was announced by the South Korean handset maker in a press release together with other phones that will be showcased at CTIA Wireless in Las Vegas.
There are little details about the S30 for the moment, but we know it has a 3.2 inch touchscreen display – bigger than the one of the original Samsung Instinct.
The new Instinct definitely looks good, thus Sprint may sell many units of it, if its price will not be too high.
No word yet on when Samsung Instinct S30 will actually be available via the third largest North American carrier, but let’s hope we’ll find out more about it during CTIA.

Opera Mini and Opera Mobile are currently Europe’s most popular mobile web browsers, and, apparently, Opera wants to conquer the US too.
According to Forbes, the Norway-based software developer wants to make a big announcement during CTIA Wireless 2009 (April 1-3, Las Vegas).
More exactly, Opera plans to unveil several major deals with North American carriers.
The carriers are not known for the moment, but they’re probably among the giant ones – AT&T, Verizon, Sprint or T-Mobile.
It’s not clear yet if, following said deals, the US carriers will pre-load one of Opera’s mobile browsers on their phones. But that wouldn’t be a bad thing, right?
We’ll bring more on this as soon as new details pop up.

Drooling over the upcoming BlackBerry 9630 Niagara? Well, you certainly won’t be the only one, judging by the $1995 price that somebody on eBay was willing to fork over for the device. As mentioned, a BlackBerry 9630 which managed to escape from RIM appeared on eBay, but only managed to last about 4 hours till it was snapped up for said figure. The BlackBerry 9630 is rumored to be heading for Verizon and Sprint in Q3 this year, and should be the CDMA alternative to the BlackBerry Bold 9000, sans Wi-Fi.

BlackBerry Niagara 9630 appears in new live pics, video
Author: +866.com16 Mar
It’s not the first time the BlackBerry Niagara 9630 shows up in leaked photos. But the previously-appeared ones were kind of small, so it’s about time we see some large and clear images with the smartphone.
As you probably already know, Research in Motion didn’t officially announce (or confirmed) the Niagara 9630, but the device will probably be fully unveiled in the next few months.
Until now, we only know that the 9630 is a 3G CDMA handset, so US customers will see it launched via Verizon or Sprint.
Anyway, here are the live pics with it, spotted over at CrackBerry:
There’s also a blurry video with the Niagara 9630 – it’s said the smartphone runs here on BlackBerry OS 4.7.1.10, which is so unstable that it won’t even start up:
