The Samsung Instinct, sold exclusively on Sprint, was met with success as many Sprint customers bought the phone, and many switched to Sprint for the hot Instinct.  In fact, it was the fastest selling 3G smartphone Sprint has to offer.  Naturally, it makes sense that Samsung would introduce a smaller version of the Instinct, reportedly called the “Instinct Mini.” 

The Instinct Mini has a rumored release date of April 19, so leaked pictures at this point in time makes sense.  The above picture as well as the ones below were posted on a Sprint forum by a user asking “[has] anyone else seen this ???”  Are these pictures actually the Instinct Mini?  No one knows that answer for sure, but as we get close to the rumored launch date of April 19, I’m sure more information will be released. 

Now, in order for the Mini to do better than the Instinct, more than just the size has to be/should be updated.  If the complaints and negative aspects of the Instinct are all fixed in the Mini, then it could do fairly well.  However, the economy comes into play as well, not many people these days are willing to spend unnecessary money so the Mini has to convince people to buy it.
