| Sprint has launched two devices that make it easier to stay connected with your friends and colleagues through increasingly popular social networking sites. The new Samsung Exclaim and HTC Snap make it easier than ever for customers to use the social networks of their choice. As part of the company’s focus on a great customer experience, Sprint has expanded its social networking presence to meet and interact with customers where they are in order to provide direct and timely responses to their inquiries. Customers can receive Sprint updates on Twitter via @Sprint or @SprintGreenNews for specific company-wide green initiatives. |  |

Sprint recently highlighted two popular social networking sites, Facebook and Twitter, in its advertising. The company’s Palm Pre Facebook and Social NOW TV spots both showcase what is happening on Sprint’s Now Network.
Social networking requires access to the Web, and Sprint understands that people can’t always be chained to their personal computer. With the new Samsung Exclaim and HTC Snap, Sprint offers customers easy one-click access to staying connected with friends and family:
Samsung Exclaim: Samsung Exclaim features a messaging-centric form factor in two great colors – Blueberry and Raspberry. The device’s dual-slider design hides both a numeric keypad and a full QWERTY keyboard. Exclaim is focused on social networking, with new interactive Facebook and MySpace tiles right on the home screen as part of Sprint’s award-winning One Click customizable user interface. Customers can now add Twitter to their home screen using One Click as well. These new One Click tiles give customers a much richer experience than links to Facebook and MySpace on other feature devices in market today:
- Facebook tile - Provides One-Click access to share “What’s on your mind,” check status updates, monitor your news feed, manage your inbox and track the status of your friends.
- MySpace tile – Offers the ability to update your status, monitor your friend lists, review your pictures and albums, manage your inbox and friend requests and track your comments.
- Twitter tile – Allows you to post Tweets with one click, check updates for everyone you are following, see responses to your Tweets, manage the list of people you are following and those who are following you and see what the whole Twitter-verse is saying.
HTC Snap: HTC Snap is the first wireless phone to feature Inner Circle™, which allows people to prioritize emails from the most important people to them. Sprint is the exclusive nationwide provider of the 3G-enabled HTC Snap. Among the email standards this device supports are POP3, IMAP4 and seamless Microsoft Exchange email compatibility, which includes Microsoft Office Outlook Mobile software.
- Inner Circle – One-touch access to the people who matter the most. Add your most important contacts to your Inner Circle, and then see email from these people in one place regardless of which account received them.
- One-Touch Camera – Capture the moment before it’s gone. Capturing and sharing photos doesn’t get any easier.
- One-Touch Messaging – Monitor all your messaging and email accounts at a glance.
HTC Snap will be available beginning June 21 in all Sprint retail channels, including www.sprint.com and 1-800-Sprint1, for $149.99 (excludes taxes) with a new two-year service agreement, after a $100 mail-in rebate.
