I am thinking about getting this phone in october so a few questions. 1-Well will it still be on the Sprint shelves in October or will they take them down? 2-Will it be replaced by a new instinct by October? If so I would love some info on that. 3- How are the free apps, web browser, and keyboard on this?
Dude the vid recorder is the only thing this phone has 2 offer..its not enuff 4 that type of $..the overall performance of the phone is way below average..tell them 2 do vids comparing the Hero with it..u will see
I just called 1-800-sprint1 and ordered my HTC HERO! It will not be in all stores Oct 11th, you have to talk to Tele Sales Dept to guarantee your Hero on time. DO NOT BUY AN INSTINCT!
dnt buy this phone..i bought it..they have youtube as an app but doesnt play youtube vidz..go figure ! also the phone doesnt play mp3 tones or songz !!!! im gnna get the Hero & trade this overhyped useless phone in !!!!!!!!!!!!
yeah its your phone, or you're just an idiot. you click the music program to play the music that you put on your micro sd card.. im willing to bet you didnt even put any music on it yet. i have an instinct s30 and it works perfectly fine.
Im excited to see the WI-FI capabilities the megapixel was boosted up to 5 I think and the browsers upgraded which is awsome plus the HD capability. No HDMI cord huhh? Shhh paying 600$plus they aughta throw one in atlease. BASTARD!!! WWHHHHYYYY?!!?!?!?!?!?!
I work for Samsung Mobile. The sample HD recording in this video is not at all indicative of it's "true" recording quality. MobileBurn's compression, as well as YouTube's compression, have severely degraded it. Using YouTube to showcase this phone's output is...umm...a horrible idea. Best thing is to go to a Sprint store or Best Buy when it launches and see with your own eyes.
Not exactly a horrible idea, since people are very likely to upload videos to YouTube. Watching it on the phone to judge HD quality, however, might be a horrible idea since the display is far less than HD resolution. If you want to see it, output it to an HD television set. But I imaging far more will be uploading to YouTube than will be connecting to a TV, since a cable isn't even included....
True. The HDMI cable will not be included. Sprint stores may very well stock them at some point but that's not Samsung's call. We don't sell the phones, we just manufacture them. I just want to caution people on making judgments about the HD quality from the device.
I am going to upload some processed video later to see how that looks. The videos look great on the phone, but I wish they had sent me an hdmi cable. I want to see it on my hd tv.
can you tell me when you,re going 2 post more vids of this phone ? or could u tell me how this phone compares to the Instinct 2 model? im pressing bcuz my 30 day return is almost up & i wanted this phone but it wasnt available at the time..also how much will it cost w/contract?
i would say trade it in for the HD version!!! You pay alittle more but for a way better experience. Web, camera, hd capabilities, and accelerometer make it all the better oh and with flash on camera:)
i want 2 know why they didn't include a hdmi cable .. those cables are expensive & from the looks of it..u wud need a cable that is only compatible with this phone ( just like the phone charger ) grrrrr !!!
ive been waitin 4 this phone 4 over a month..please do a more detailed review . they claimed the phone had a 32gig memory ..u said theres a 4gig chip..I need 2 see more b4 i buy the $ theyre asking 4 !!
i can clearly see the title thank you. but if your going to point out all the other physical things on the phone it makes sense to mention the camera too....i would think someone of your "stature" would know something like that....i guess not!
Someone of my "stature" knows that there are a million aspects of the phone that need to be covered, and if I covered them all to your satisfaction, this simple unboxing video would have been 45 minutes long. If you want more info, you can look it up or just wait for the rest of the videos like everybody else.
Well, it has been processed by my video editing suite as well as YouTube. On top of that, I moved around too much. You see in the last few seconds that it can look sharp. The original video as it came out of the phone looks better.
I'd have to come back and remove it right away, though, and I can't afford the time to sit and babysit the video. It's only for a few minutes. The full HD is available already.
R any of the instincts smartfones well I mean the newer 1s not the 1st
