Samsung has introduced its new Highnote dual-slider, set to arrive on Sprint's high-speed EV-DO network soon. The Samsung Highnote is one of the first cell phones to offer Sprint's new One Click user interface, and also includes a 2 megapixel camera for quick photos.The Samsung Highnote's dual-slide form factor slides up to reveal the numeric keypad, or down to reveal a large high-powered speaker, which should make music a lot more convenient. The microSD card slot on board should provide plenty of music storage space, and the Highnote's support for the Sprint Music Store makes it easy to load up your favorite tunes.
The Samsung Highnote is set to be available on October 19th in your choice of red or blue. The Highnote will be priced at $99.99 with a 2-year commitment, after a $50 mail-in rebate.
