While the details are a bit few and far between, we now know that Sprint will soon release an updated version of their Instinct S30, called the Instinct HD, thanks to a Best Buy flyer from over the weekend.  This news comes on the heels of a recently leaked shot of the Android based Instinct, the Instinct Q.  Unlike the Instinct Q, the Instinct HD lacks a full QWERTY keyboard and the Android OS, but makes up for it by including a 5 megapixel camera that can “record and play videos in HD through TV out connection”.  With that said, one would assume that the phone’s screen is capable of playing back HD content, but as mentioned the details are very few and far between.  There’s no word on release date, but Best Buy’s flyer indicates that it is ‘coming soon’.
