Best Calling Card

Okay, I understand that the Palm Pre is the Big Phone On Campus right now, if you’re a Sprint subscriber… but the Pre was talked about and hyped for months before the launch.  As was the original Instinct M800.

 

My question is, if Sprint and Samsung are preparing to launch the next generation Instinct M850 in Q3/Q4 2009 (referred to by some as the "Dash" or "Deuce" or "Instinct 2"), why aren’t we starting to hear something about it yet through official channels?  It doesn’t have to be a big marketing  blitz…just something out there from Sprint and/or Samsung to let people know a new Instinct handset is coming.  But there’s nothing, and July ’09 is nearly here.  

 

The silence leads me to wonder if the M850 has been cancelled.  Anyone have new information to share?  Any confirmation from Sprint about the status of the M850?

 

(To clarify any confusion, the Instinct S30 is the M810 and is not the next generation Instinct)
