Sprint Picks Up LG LX370, Samsung Exclaim, and HTC Snap

Jun 22 2009, 1:10pm CDT | by Robert Evans

Apparently Sprint has a little more on the ball than just the Palm Pre and the upcoming BlackBerry Tour. They just announced the release of three new smartphones coming out for their network. The LG LX370, Samsung Exclaim, and HTC Snap are all up for sale right now from Sprint's online store.

The LG LX370 is a 3G enabled smartphone with Sprint TV and One Click UI, in addition to GPS navigation and Web browsing. It also has a 2 megapixel camera and microSDHC support. The $100 (after a $50 rebate) price tag on this mobile makes it an ideal budget smartphone for Sprint customers who don't quite want to drop the extra cash on a Pre.

The Samsung Exclaim has a sliding QWERTY keyboard, a Sprint's One Click UI, a 2 megapixel camera, GPS, Sprint TV, microSDHC support, and 3G capability. It's basically the LX370 with a sliding keyboard and a cheaper price tag; $80 bucks after a $50 rebate is about as cheap as you'll ever find a 3G mobile for.

Last up we've got the HTC Snap. It's a beauty of a smartphone with a 16GB microSD slot, a BlackBerry-style QWERTY keyboard, a 2 megapixel camera, 3G capability, and Windows Mobile 6.1. If you're interested, it'll run you $150 after a $100 MIR.
