Samsung Seek will be Sprint's $30 touchscreen phone

We've just been tipped about an upcoming touchscreen phone for Sprint, which will be an affordable youthful model, equipped with a touchscreen and full slide-out QWERTY keyboard.

Named the Samsung Seek M350, this phone has already made an appearance in our news section, back in January when we got our first unofficial look at Sprint's 2010 lineup. The device is believed to be a replacement of the Exclaim, and will sport a quite similar design and features. By the looks of it, the Samsung Seek will seek to deliver some fresh looks through different colors and nice patterns on its back.

In addition to keeping the QWERTY keyboard for those numerous texts, it seems like the Seek will also retain the same modest screen size of 2.6 inches with QVGA resolution. According to the information provided by our tipster, the Samsung Seek should become available in a few days - on May 9. It's price will be $29.99 with a two-year contract and after a $50 mail-in rebate.
