The FCC in its infinite wisdom, has seen fit to put the check mark in the approval box for the Samsung SPH-M810. FCC approvals happen frequently, so what makes this one so interesting is that this device could be the Instinct Mini. The full sized version has become a huge seller for Sprint and for Best Buy, so why not make a Mini-Me version? As we reported earlier, one difference between the two models that we are hearing about is that the Instinct Mini will run on the slower EV-DO Rev. 0 network. The Instinct Mini appears to be equipped with PTT capabilities, unlike its Big Brother. The expected launch date of April 19th through Sprint has not changed since our initial story.
