Good news, Android fans, a tipster with phandroid has come across some snapshots of the Samsung InstinctQ, which is very likely to be a Sprint 2009 Android smartphone release. October 11th and “early November” have both been given as rumored release dates, but no solid information has come down the pipe yet.

The “Q” in InstinctQ likely stands for “qwerty”, in reference to this device's sliding full QWERTY keyboard. This new offering from Samsung looks great, although we have no information about its hardware and specs. The Hero is expected to hit Sprint around the same time, so I'd say we have good odds of the two phones being roughly equal in terms of power. From the in-action screenshots, we can see that the InstinctQ is a Google Experience phone...and that's about it.

No hard info on price or release date has hit yet, but if the October 11th launch rumors prove true, we should see more news about this bad boy leak by mid-September.
