Samsung Intrepid Review

If you're not willing to shell out $300 for a phone running Windows 6.5, check out the Samsung Intrepid on Sprint. If the Intrepid looks familiar, it's because the Intrepid is the successor to the Samsung Ace, which the Intrepid will replace on Sprint. The Intrepid sports a 2.5-inch touchscreen with a full QWERTY keyboard below it. One of its biggest draws for business customers is its support for international roaming. It also supports stereo Bluetooth, and has Wi-Fi connectivity and a 3.2-megapixel camera with video recording.

The Intrepid is the first Windows phone to support Microsoft's TellMe service for voice dialing and texting, which my colleague Jared Newman found to work quite well. It also comes loaded with Sprint Navigation, Microsoft Office Mobile, and the Smart Read business card scanner. The Intrepid is now available from Sprint for $150 with a two-year contract.
