i don't care if the internet isn't that great. it looks just fine to me. I'm grateful to even get to look at videos on this phone without paying $100 for just a plan to the big wigs. i hate blackberry's, but love env3 type phones and this is the bomb. i'm getting it like today. oh yeah. i'm loving it.
@credregal Actually, no; I don't know about a way to upload a video straight from your phone BUT I do know a way to get wi-fi on it. You have to download a certain application on getjar.com from your phone to use wi-fi by using bluetooth.
yeah its good that we can get video now but I was getting free games and now I cant and also I wish that it was a way to download video instead of recording them
I suggest using a ear piece for phone calls on the incognito. As far as the web goes, download opera mini 4 or 5 and the bolt browsers. The bolt {unsigned} browser will give you a desktop like broswer and it is fast. I rarely use the boost browser.
How is the phone quality? CNET says that the volume for the phone is "too low"; do you agree? How low is "too low"? Can you hear a conversation is a crowded room? Thanks for the reply!
@daabsolutetruth9999 I'd give the internal earpiece a 7/10 as far as sound goes. I find myself asking "Could you repeat that?" a lot if I'm near the AC or a train goes by. As far as in crowded place goes...it can get very hard to hear. The ringer (and text ding) always seemed to get the job done without the volume being up 100%.
@InternetDrama Thanks for the info! I may have been confused; CNET may have been referring to the speaker for the ringtone/speakerphone. Another reviewer seemed to think that the ringtone/speakerphone volume was too low. I am just concerned with the ability to hear a conversation (after all this is a phone!). You say that in normal circumstances this is ok? Again, thanks!

I tried facebook on the Bolt and Opera Mini browsers. Since I know nothing about Facebook, I went to my jobs facebook page on the Bolt and Opera mini browser. Bolt downloaded the desktop versions of facebbok. Opera mini 4, and 5 took me to the mobile page.
I am not a big facebook person, but I have use facebook on the incognito. The facebook client that came with the phone sucked to me,. So I use facebook on Opera Mini 4. It is the mobile version.
I use the internet on pay as you go on Boost for 35 cents a day. It has unlimited data. I watch youtube videos, I have downloaded 5 browers to my phone {Bolt, Opera Mini}
The $50 a month unlimited everything plan includes internet. The Incognito does not have the best internet, though. It's pretty much pre-smartphone era technology. Although, using the downloadable Opera Mini browser makes things bearable for some.
@InternetDrama Another commenter said that he was losing data capability on this phone and that when he called Boostmobile, he was told that as Sprint's data needs increase they will decrease bandwidth for Boost customers(!). Have you had any experience like this? Any loss of perceptable bandwidth? Thanks again!
@daabsolutetruth9999 The phone is not meant for data. It's no smartphone. Just a phone with the option to use internet. I've never been one to use the internet on a phone (prior to my current BlackBerry, also on Boost), so other than googling this and that for quick reference, I couldn't tell you. It was relatively slow internet from the get-go, at least compared to other devices.
@InternetDrama cud someone show us step by step on how to download songs from your home computer using the usb download port to the boost mobile incognito phone plez .thank u
Youtube made some improvements to the mobile youtube, so videos load faster using the boost browser. But for the internet, the best overall browser on the incognito is the bolt lite unsigned. I have 5 browser downloaded {Opera mini 3,4,5 bolt and bolt lite}. Check out vuclips and mippins. You can save videos to your sd card on vuclips
Thanks man today i almost didn't buy it cus the clerk told me it might not be able to support large video files but now i see it could. thanks a bunch man. I'm getting it in the morning, its late now.
Unless you need the walkie talkie do not buy an Iden phone. The iden phones suck on text messages internet and phone calls. The sanyo incognito and the mirro are the only phones that I would buy on Boost. The blackberry cost too much I have my work email desktop version set up on my incognito using the Bolt and Opera Mini browser. Phone quality is okay.
awsome rick astly on the sanyo incognito nice lol getting this phone tomorrow cant wait lol dont get the motorola clutch form boost it is a piece of shit
On the incognito you can send text messages that are longer than 160 letters. The counter will tell you when you exactly how many letters you have typed.
If you are on Boost, this is the only phone I would buy. It is not perfect, but it is better than those Iden phones. Youtube videos download in less than 10 secomds.
HI. DO YOU KNOW HOW TO ADD MORE CHARACTERS/WORDS TO A TEXT PAGE OR IF IT'S EVEN POSSIBLE???? 160 ISN'T NEARLY ENOUGH...I ALWAYS HAVE TO END UP SENDING MULTIPLE PAGED TEXT
i am thinking about geting a new boost phone but idk what one too get i was thinking about to get that one... do it work good like is it worth to buy..... pizzz get back thank you
I never use the touchscreen. The touchscreen is completely useless. It tells you that you have a text message but you can not read it from the touchscreen. Trying to dial a number is a waste of time. They should have put a 2.0 size screenn with the normal dial pad on the front with ability to use all of the functions without opening the phone.
I just typed in vuclips on the my incognito phone browser and it came up. The filter only comes on when you try to watch adult videos. If it says youtube then it will not have filter. Vuclips has a desktop and mobile site.
This phone is amazing for a prepaid. You can download opera mini or the bolt browser. They give you fast internet speed. You can watch videos fullscreen on bolt. The touchscreen sucks. Phone quality is decent. text show up fast and thredded. I don't use the boost internet, boost facebook app, too slow for me. Tons of features.
Yes to porn. Go to vuclips and type in whatever you like to watch. Cut off filter. Vuclips is like a combo of google and youtube. They get videos from adult sites posted daily. If you use opera mini 4 you can downlod and save videos to your sd memory card from vuclips. Trust me.
@MaTT22296 The keyboard gets the job done. The only problem I have with it is the "[FN]" button. It's the button that alternates the keys. For example: Pressing [FN] before pressing Z turns Z into an ' and sometimes it doesn't want to stick when you press it. I find myself correcting a lot of words like "donzt" and "canzt."
The touch screen is alright. But if you've just finished eating something greasy, you better open the phone and answer via a real button, otherwise all hope is lost.
@MaTT22296 Also about the screen, the slider that locks the touch screen sometimes doesn't want to work. Like...if you slide it and then go to touch the buttons that are now lit up and 'active,' they won't work. That requires you to slide the slider a couple more times to lock and unlock before you can answer an incoming call. it happens about once every 20 times or so. Just a little irritating.

After 6 months The Incognito is a good phone. Not perfect. But for $99 you can not beat the price.
Pro. Youtube mobile. You can download third party apps like the Opera mini and Bolt browsers.
Con Touchscreen is useless. Phone quality sucks without ear piece. The screen should be bigger. Not perfect but you can do alot with this phone.
