Not due to launch until July 12th on Sprint, as we reported, the successor to the Samsung Moment-the Intercept-made its way out of a Best Buy store for $100. The handset has a focus on social networking and has many of the same specs as the model it is replacing. While things like the 3.2 inch screen (with 16 million colors), the landscape sliding QWERTY keyboard and the 3.2MP camera might remind you of the Moment, the 320 x 480 resolution of the display has been amped up to 800 x 480. The device has Android 2.1 on board with the possibility of a later upgrade to 2.2. In total, the Intercept has some more spit and polish to it than its predecessor, which makes sense since models like the HTC Aria are raising the standards of mid-range Android phones.
