Ex•claim (verb): To cry out suddenly or vehemently, as from surprise or emotion: god, I love social networking!. Ok, maybe that’s a bit much, but if Sprint has its way with this rumored Samsung M550 Exclaim device, that’s exactly what all the kids will be shouting.
Based on these supposed leaked images found in a Sprint Gurus forum, the Exclaim (so exciting!) is to feature a dual-slider (a la Ocean) with a QWERTY keyboard in landscape and a numeric keypad in portrait “mode” and will be available in either jubilation blue or ecstatic pink (ok, so those names are made up, but blue and pink are pictured in the forum).
Rumor has it that the Exclaim is one in the same to a previously leaked Samsung Lucello (see below) that is said to have a 2.6″ QVGA display, 3G (EV-DO Rev. 0), Bluetooth, and a 2MP cam.
It’s also speculated that this excited handset will include “tight” integration with uber popular social networking sites such as Facebook and MySpace (and Twitter, if they really want to get all the kids riled up). The socialite phone will apparently hit the red carpet on June 7, 2009.

do you think this will be given out as one of the ‘free phones’ with new contracts or atleast 50 dollars less? im interested & don’t want a RANT that is currently out for free well, till June 6th anyway, should i wait?
I believe it will be selling for 79.99 w/ 2 years contract/upgrade.
Yeah, you should. The rant is being over rated and you see them everywhere nowadays. Im going to wait for the exclaim. The only upset is that the colors are not exactly a good choose. There should be at least interchangable templates.
Or, add Black to the two colors.
June 7th came and went and yet no phone (except on best buy). No mention of another release date anywhere on the web including sprint’s site. I stopped in a store and they said the 7th was Samsung’s release of the phone not sprint’s and that it should be the 21st of June that it will be released. But again, no mention from Sprint officially so I’m not holding my breath.
