Wed Jun 13, 2007 3:33 pm

Starting Monday, Sprint will carry the Samsung UpStage in a vibrant red color. The Samsung UpStage is the first dual-sided wireless phone in the U.S. designed to optimize music capabilities with the look of an MP3 player on one side and a phone on the other.

Since its debut in late March, the UpStage has exceeded sales expectations and has won the following industry awards:

- Best Cellphone in CNET's Cream of the Crop awards during CTIA 2007
- Best Multimedia Phone in LAPTOP's "Best of CTIA 2007" Awards
- Gadget of the Week from Popular Mechanics
- Coolest New Product at CTIA from Network World
- Mobiledia.com Editor's Choice Award

Operating on the Sprint Mobile Broadband network, UpStage by Samsung provides easy access to Sprint's exclusive multimedia content, including Sprint Music Store. Sprint Music Store provides customers with quick over-the-air music downloads of full-length songs for just 99 cents.

The Samsung UpStage is the first Sprint phone to offer the following features designed to make mobile music more entertaining than ever:

- Sprint Music Manager, powered by Smith Micro, gives users the power to quickly and simply transfer, or "sideload," unprotected songs from a PC to the handset via a USB cable. Provided on an enclosed CD-ROM, Music Manager also allows songs to be managed on the PC through an intuitive interface.
- Advanced Stereo Bluetooth 2.0 with Bluetooth caller ID enables the user to identify callers with a spoken voice while they listen to music.
- The Samsung UpStage gives users the power to multitask with the ability to play music in background mode while also using the phone for text messaging, playing games or surfing the Internet.

Additional features available on UpStage include a 1.3-megapixel camera and camcorder, microSD card slot that can support up to 2 GB of external memory, an easy-to-access keyguard switch to prevent accidental dialing, and Wireless Backup to quickly restore contact information if the phone is lost or stolen.

An extended battery wallet is included with the phone to increase talk time up to approximately 6.3 hours or 16 hours of music listening. Dual battery gauges show remaining battery life in the extended battery wallet and the internal battery. The phone also comes packaged with a 64 MB microSD memory card, USB cable, 3.5 mm adapter with microphone for standard music headphones and accessories, the Sprint Music Manager application on CD-ROM and a Quick Tips guide.

The Samsung UpStage measures 4.07" x 1.73" x 0.37" and weighs just 2.57 ounces. Currently priced at $99 with a two-year service agreement and $50 service credit, the red color option joins black in Sprint retail stores and online on June 18.
