More Satisfied Than Ever

Offering affordable plans to such feature-rich smartphones like Samsung Intercept is one of many reasons Sprint has excelled in customer satisfaction. Sprint is the most improved company in customer satisfaction, across all industries, over the last two years, according to results from the 2010 American Customer Satisfaction Index.

Sprint's improvement was driven in part by substantial gains in two aspects of the survey. In the area of customers' perceptions of value, Sprint now leads both AT&T and Verizon. The company also achieved an impressive improvement in the area of customer loyalty. With these gains, the company's overall ACSI score jumped 14 points during the last two years. In the last six years of the ACSI survey, no other company has improved its satisfaction score by that many points in a two-year period.

The improvements in the ACSI survey come as Sprint has seen nine consecutive quarters of improved customer satisfaction and first call resolution. The company's improvements have also been recognized by other independent third-parties, including Sprint winning the #1 spot for both overall satisfaction for wireless voice service providers and wireless data service providers in a Yankee Group and Mobile Enterprise magazine survey of large business decision makers. Sprint also ranked high in small and medium business customer satisfaction. Also noteworthy was Sprint's two-year Reputation Pulse(TM) score increase in Reputation Institute's 2010 U.S. Most Reputable Companies Study (published annually in Forbes). Sprint's 18.22 percent gain puts its improvement in the top 10 percent of the 150 largest U.S. companies, ahead of both AT&T and Verizon.

Sprint is also the first national wireless carrier to test, launch and market 4G technology, offering wireless 4G service today for select devices in 36 markets. In 2010, Sprint expects to launch 4G service in multiple markets, including Boston, Cincinnati, Cleveland, Denver, Los Angeles, Miami, Minneapolis, New York, Pittsburgh, San Francisco and Washington, D.C.

Surprisely someone actually got the Samsung Intercept also known as the Samsung Moment 2, before it's release date (July 11th).  From Best Buy Mobile, I have attached the video which he gave us a brief overview of the phone.

The Samsung Intercept features Android 2.1 OS (will be getting Android 2.2), a 3.2-inch touchscreen display, Bluetooth 2.1, a four-row QWERTY keyboard and quick access to social networking sites.

From FirestormComputers

I purchased the Samsung Intercept from Sprint at the Best Buy Mobile booth, and I didn't even know it was supposed to be released on July 11th (purchased on July 3rd). The shipment arrived to some Best Buy stores on July 2nd, and as many people know this phone is not even listed on Sprint's website.

This is a nice video promotion for the Samsung Epic 4G, also called Samsung Galaxy S pro (Regular Galaxy S with a QWERTY Keyboard).  Samsung Epic 4G will be Sprint's second handset uilitizing 4G network.  

"Samsung Epic 4G is a powerful member of our Galaxy S smartphone portfolio which offers premium screen, speed and content features," said Omar Khan, chief strategy officer for Samsung Mobile. "The Epic 4G ups the ante with a front-facing camera for video conferencing, a full QWERTY keyboard and lightning-fast 4G speeds."

The brilliant Super AMOLED touchscreen display offers:

• * The best representation of color on a mobile phone that matches original content, more than 100 times the contrast quality of other leading displays
  
• * Faster response time that reduces "ghosting" images
  
• * Wide viewing angles to prevent blurring or distortion
  
• * Thinner design to offer more accurate and responsiveness to touch

This is considered pretty good success for Samsung, even though we all heard by now that Apple had sold more than 1.7 million iPhone 4s in just 3 days.  But considering most of the 1.7 million iPhone 4s are from existing ATT customers who went for an upgrade, and that Samsung Galaxy S were only sold in South Korea for that 6 days.  I will definitely give Samsung a high five for its launch success.

According to Samsung Hub, Samsung is riding high on the success of Galaxy S, at least in its home market. SK Telecom who is the official carrier of the phone has announced that Galaxy S has surpassed 100,000 units. The sales figure takes into account from its release on June 24 till June 29 i.e. today till 2PM.

As you probably already know, Samsung Galaxy S will be released later this month to all 4 major carriers in the United States, even though each carrier will have a modified version of Galaxy S with it's only fancy names, it still counted as a Galaxy S in my world.
