Googling “Sprint iPhone” gives one a ton of results, but of course you already know about it from our previous coverage.

Recently, Samsung sent us their newest Sprint phone, the Conquer 4G. This phone is meant to be the first “budget” 4G phone, coming in at $99 after contract. But is it worth even that?
