According to an announcement made by Sprint today, the new Samsung Instinct has seen record sales since the its launch last Friday. This comes just two weeks before Apple’s second generation 3G iPhone release takes place.

Dubbed the “iPhone killer” when it was first announced at CTIA 2008 in April, the Samsung Instinct only received heavy media attention just days before launch, when Sprint decided to cut the Instinct’s price from $199 to $129, in an effort to compete with the iPhone and grab some sales.

Looks like it worked. No numbers were revealed as of yet, but Sprint is happy with the results, so it must mean they’re doing good.

Sprint’s Samsung Instinct comes packed with a 2.0 megapixel camera with video recording, POP3 email, Visual Voicemail, microSD card slot for up to 8GB of extra memory and a 2GB microSD card in the box, Bluetooth 2.0 and a full HTML browser. You can pick up the Instinct from Sprint fro $129 with a 2 year contract.
