Samsung’s newest offering for the Sprint PCS network isthe VGA1000. This is the 6th picture phone that Sprint has launched in the US, making it a leader among the major carriers (Verizon Wireless only hopped on the picture bandwagon a month ago). Here’s the scoop on the phone:

• Built-in flash, fun frames, 10-second voice clips for any Picture Mail
• An external picture color Caller ID screen (with 65K colors) as well as a large 65K color TFT main screen
• For game enthusiasts, you can score an attachable PCS GamePad for $39.99 (Sprint’s attempt at an N-Gage).

It will cost you $159.99 ($259.99 before rebates), and is available both online and in Sprint retailers (though if you want to grab it locally, you might want to give it a week or two).
