US mobile phone carrier Sprint has just introduced two new devices in its offering, the camera-less version of BlackBery Tour, and the sliding Samsung M330. The two handsets can already be seen on the company's website, the former priced at $199.99 on a two-year contract, just the same as the camera version, while the latter comes for free upon the signing of a contract agreement with the operator.


The BlackBerry Tour without a camera comes mainly for those employees that are not allowed to come to their workplace with a handset that sports a photo snapper. The BlackBerry Tour without a camera is already available for purchase with Verizon, which launched both models back in July. Other than that, there are no visible differences from the Tour model already available on Sprint, except for the lack of camera.

In case some of you might not remember what the Tour has been launched with, we should mention 3G connectivity, QWERTY keyboard, GPS Navigation capabilities, web browsing functionality, support for email, music player, support for Microsoft Excel and Word documents, BlackBerry Media Sync, Bluetooth, a MicroSD memory card slot with support for up to 16 GB of additional storage space, and more.

The second new device on Sprint, the M330 by Samsung, comes in a sliding form factor, and features support for 3G speeds, web browsing, Bluetooth connectivity, text messaging with predictive text input, built-in speakerphone, voice dialing, GPS for E911 emergency location services, as well as Wireless Backup so that no important data on the phone is lost. The fresh M330 by Samsung measures 3.7 X 1.7 X 0.6 inches and weighs 3.2 oz. Its 960mAh battry can deliver up to 6.3 hours of talk time, Sprint notes. More details on the handset can be found on the carrier's website here.

This looks like a really nice phone. Has anyone found any flaws in it. I am looking for a simple phone, that does just talking and text messages. Current phone does way more, but the darn thing reboots every 5 mins and shutting of the "Phone Service", and it gets really annoying.
