  • that phone is crap

  • YOUR HOT SYDNEY

  • Sydney I hate your reviews!

  • notice that it works with her short left nail...

  • see that's why i hate white people yoll just down people stuff it ain't gone be perfect. its a good phone i have the s30 for a year and i loved it it's all you need

  • @imso615 thats a cute thought

  • @imso615 well if you dont like that go to phone arena there asian-___-

  • use your thumb nail its easier so i will blame it on your nails there not long enough

  • it's way easier to type on the instinct using your nails. ive had the original instinct for about 3 years now and i barely ever have problems typing with it and i usually keep my nails long. most other phones dont let you type with fingernails but i think this one was designed with girly girls in mind or something like that...

  • does it need data plan

  • ur PERTY HEHE

  • I have the first instinct that came out in 2008 so this is a big upgrade. plus im getting it for free. So even if it does have a couple of negative things im still gonna perfer it to the old phone. The 2008 Instinct didn't have a lash camera and was just 2.0 not 5.0 and the web browsing looks much easier and prettier (:

  • omg i hate thys fone

  • Just because they're shorter doesn't mean they function. lol

  • After many firmware updates, I may be one of the last on earth who still use the 1st gen Instinct from 2007 (1st had soo many issues!). Like an old truck, it works fine. Takes 3.5 days for 1st gen to die after normal use. The HD thing'll suck the life out of it, so 2.5 days to die sounds right. If u want to use a phone condom, it slips off the round Instinct HD; same issue with the iPhone. The block-shaped 1st gen keeps condom secure. Near Free with activation? The HD is a safe buy IMO. :)

  • @cyrusk2 whoops I meant 2008. I had the awesome Samsung A900 in 2007...

  • When u unlock it can u have a background picture or will it just send u to that menu?

  • A hot geek, well thats a first!

  • this is why reviews aren't very helpful. if there's one thing wrong with the phone, you develop such a negative attitude towards it. bias throws the whole review into an opinionative narrative.

  • i just ordered this phone it was free with my upgrade. i hope it is better than this review. lol

  • @rach85256 ...I just got 3 days ago as free upgrade too and it is better than this review...some people makes things out to be difficult when in reality they are not at all difficult...

  • @SuperMessiah8 is it easy to text on? i really want this phone, but i've never had a touchscreen so im scared itll be hard to type on

  • @osnapitsambii ...Osnap: no it isn't difficult to type on at all, unless you have huge fingers...it does take a little getting used to tho...just like all new things it takes a little practice is all...this my first touch phone too...the web service is fast on this phone too...the sound quality is awesome for this thing...it has a youtube button and it plays all youtube videos...when typing it takes only a little pressure to type...use index finger to type and it is easier...C YA OSNAP

  • just got this phone last night and i cant send a correctly spelled text for shit!!

  • im hopefully getting my first job pretty soon and i've been looking at this phone, the lotus elite, and the samsung craft for metropcs. im looking for a good touch screen phone that has good messaging and web. i dont talk on the phone a lot so would this be a good phone for me?

  • the screen is not bad at all the fact that its capacitive means she soulden't be using her finger nail this phone is actually very good

  • Nice review! I really like that this phone has WiFi and special apps for Facebook, MySpace, and Twitter.

  • I could tell that was a biased review

  • wat phone is better.. samsung instinct or samsung seek??? need help.ASAp please

  • @rockerman177 depends on what you want. the samsung seek doesnt have video but has a physical keyboard but the instinct doesn thave a physical keyboard

  • @osnapitsambii yea dats wat im thinking..the thing i dont like of the samsung seek is dat its too small. and the instinct is dat it dont have a qwerty keyboard but i also want a touch scree. too

  • stupid people defend this phone, the touchscreen on the instincts suck ass. final

  • Dont use your nails, DUH think.!

  • your a retarded bitch.

  • She obviously doesnt know how to use a touch screen phone . She manages to probably be the only person who has a prob with textinq

  • Well it sounds like the perfect phone for me because I had my xbox keyboard on abcd for like 2 years until I learned how to change it so I can type in abcd when needed.... Also I am typing this comment on an iPod touch with a capactive touch screen in portraits mode and I haven't made one spelling mistake.... It's human errors not mechanical errors. But still a pretty good review.

  • nice hair lmao (:

  • I love this phone :) ! texting on it is fun. You just have to get used to the keybored. but i love it:)

  • you are not skilled at typing that's the problem.

  • can't blame it on the nails..they're short now they were cut from 1inch to 1/2inch

  • i agree with KATOKIMO regarding about Sydney's nails. In fairness, when you do a review on any phone, you have to make sure your nails are not that long. Other than that, you did a good job.

  • this WOman Dont even Know HOw to Use a touchscreen Geee'z and this phone is not bad its actully a preatty good touch screen phone high quality phone !

  • Haha my name is Sydney :) My mom just got me this phone today and I'm not lovin it so much :\ I'm a very picky person and it not customizable which I like to do that its a good phone but the looks of it I don’t like

  • @kjones036 yes you can :)

  • Long nails and a capacitive touch screen don't mesh. Which is probably why you can't type.

  • I have this phone as of right now and I will be switching to the new Samsung Epic 4G.

    This phone is great for Gaming, Pictures, HD Videos, Messaging, Voice mail, Music, E-mail, Negation, TV, Youtube, Facebook, Twitter, News and Browsing.

    I have no problems with this phone or it's functions at all. Please just ignore Silly Sydney on this review along with her long finger nails.

  • @22APL Right on man

  • Sydnayyy!!!

  • 7:30 and after i couldnt bare......you getting annoyed...i sat and watched you click the wrong thing and then you blamed the phone......not cool sydney

  • You did this on purpose, Noah where are you she sucks learn your screens

  • I love this phone, except the fact that I download ringers and I cannot for the life of me find them anywhere on my phone, that is very frustrating to me.

  • I love how she calls it a review but all it is is a her bitching about the phone. Can we get anyone else from phonedog to review this please?

  • u can not work tht phone nuthin i just got th same phone nd how cum it works perfectly wit me u was tryna rush

  • You were going to slow when you were slidding your finger across and plus you were yousing your nail. This was more of a rant on how much you hate it than a review... Anyway does anyone know if this phone will be out still in october and will there be a price drop?

  • its capacitive...which means u gotta touch it wit ur finger not ur nail..it detects heat

  • your pretty but a slow typer!:D why would you get this phone no thanks haha!

  • you're right..the keyboard on portrait mode...that is really odd..

  • @dearskyy Yea but I know why they did it. They did it because usually what youl find it portrait mode is a numeric/T9 keyboard, all they really did was take the numbers out and put it in a different slot and gave every letter its own button. I knw they really dhould have stuck with the qwerty in both modes though.

  • the abc keyboard is stupid but the other keybord isn't really very hard to use

  • HTC EVO GET THAT PHONE PPL!

  • instinct sucks!! Stay Away From This Phone!

  • you are the slowest person ive ever seen in my whole life you dont like the text screen because you type like you have a disaBILITY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!

  • I think the phone is Alot better than she explains it.

  • hey lady get those nintendo wii stix it myt work

  • the keyboard is fine......works perfectly fine with me she's just an idiot....

  • Why is ur left thumbe nail smaller then your right one?

  • learn how to use a damn touchskreen Sydney its not hard no partial nail or thumb if u stick with full nails of just thum pads you will probably have a 98% accuracy and i know i have an instinct right now

  • i HATE this phone. ive had it since october of 2009. pretty much 2 days after it came out. i hate it.

  • @loveszitx3 You hate it? That's it? You're not going to say why?

  • @IM1deadMONEY do i need to say why? all the things she said that was wrong with it is true.. obviously.

  • why whats so bad about it??

  • Please Note: Allow the webpage to fully uploaded before taping on the screen. When you tap on the screen before the webpage is fully loaded it will automatically zoom you in. So your zoomed in when the page has finished loading. But when this happens just tap on the back key on the phone and you will zoom back to full view.

    That is why when she tried to show you "tap to zoom" She already did by touching the screen while the webpage was loading.

    Really It's her not the phone.

  • Also you do get the full Youtube webpage with the broswer. It just automatically up loads Youtube mobile. All you have to do when uploading Youtube on Opera browser is to scroll all the way to the bottom of the Youtube page and you will see Mobile / Desktop. Tab on Desktop to switch over from the mobile view and you will get to view Youtube full desktop page.

    She needs to do more homework on the phone before making uneducated comments.

  • And also with the email there is a sync bottom under each email account on the phone so you can update your email(s) when ever you need to or when ever you want to update your email(s).

    Email is not a problem on this phone at all. She never really study the phone to know this.

  • Best Buy Sucks!!! OMG

  • Your emails do update with the phone. It might take up to 10 minutes at the most for each email to arrive but it does stay current throught out your day.

    She does not know what she is taking about.

  • Comment removed

  • Even if you have long nails the phone is still easy to use even when typing on the its' keyboard. Don't believe her.

  • She has totally misrepresented this phone. Please take some advice and do your own research when it comes to cell phones. I have this phone with Sprint and this phone is a very great phone.

  • Take the phone and just throw it at her!!! Maybe then we can knock some sence into ha

  • hahaha i can see your not good using any phone , cut your finger nails

  • First thing first I used to like phonedog until this video. You were not bias about the phone. Your facts about the email client was so far off I was shocked. The phone updates as soon as you get in email, may it be Work or Hotmail. And yes if you check your mail via the PC the notifications do go away. Just while I was typing this out I got 3 work emails. I will agree its not the best smart phone out there but you ripped it apart. I will give you kudos on showing off the camera.

  • Comment removed

  • the screen isn't working right because you were using your nails

  • ue right

  • @katokimo actually i have this phone and the screen never works right.. and i don't have long nails.

  • @katokimo she didnt even use her nails

  • Ummmm, Sydney, I'm looking at how you're handling this phone and I can honestly tell you that the features work perfectly. The problem you're having with it is the same problems everyone has with a touch screen device once they purchase a new one.......you just have to get used to it. If you're going to review a product that will influence other people in a decision making process, please try to be fair when doing so. And what is that beeping.??.

  • thank you for the Batt life 2 days plus is way good. this helped me alot, as I do need to find a sprint phone the moment is not for me lol.

  • on the screen does it say ADCD format? wtf is that

  • good job

  • I think your problems with the tapping aren't really because of the phone but because you tap really softly which isn't the way you use a touch screen.

    Good review, I can still hear some nervousness in your voice from time to time but other than that I think you are getting better.

    lol the chewing.

    Cheers.

  • so what is her fav phone cause i have never had a prob with the screen

  • Well done Sydney! For those of you with the foul language and obnoxious comments, keep them to yourself.

  • y didnt noah do this

  • Calm down with noah

  • Damn i see why know keeps you around

  • She's good to look at, I'll give her that.

  • wow HDMI....

  • i really want Noah to do a review on this phone

  • WOW so fucking Biased!!!

  • Nice review Syd!!

  • shes better than whts her face in computertv

  • that is probably the worst onscreen keyboard i think ive ever seen... please samsung can u make 1 good phone?

  • @ceddyy1 i know right its really funny but i just dont buy samsung phones

  • @ceddyy1 Yea it's called the Impression. It would be the best phone I ever owned, if it came with a flash.

  • horrible review samung phone awsome. change the screen settings and it works great she just doesn't like the phone so bad review. she only shows mostly foults. noah is better.

  • Gud review Sydney =)

    Bad phone Samsung =(

  • ya shes lot nicer to look at than phonedog lol not to be mean lol

  • the camera is awesome. evrything else sucks

  • why would you get this when the pre is way cheaper?

  • the reason you have a hard time with the screen sydney ..is because you have nails..and long nails at that. i think if you didn't have nails..it would be a lot more responsive. The HD is actually very nice.. too bad its the same old instinct under the hood.

  • serbianstud16, Mate agree with you!! Noah! Plz we want the review by you...

  • Sydney you did a great job, hope to see more reviews from you. :)

  • is the video dead?

  • SYDNEY I LOVE YOU!!!!! Great job!!! keep it up! and merry christmas!!!! :D

  • I enjoy capacitive soft keyboards. You're probably just used to typing on a resistive soft keyboard.

  • Sidney looks so cute with her hair like that

  • The phone has some poor instincts, it would seem... HD video is nice but for a small lens on a cell phone it's overkill. Cheezits Chrysler that touch screen would drive me nuttier than an irritated Sydney.

  • "The quick brown fox jumps over a lazy dog" is the de-facto sentence in the English language for testing keyboards. I've nobody but Noah uses it. The idea behind it is that that phrase uses all 26 letter of the English alphabet, so you're basically testing that every single key on the keyboard works as intended. We don't just use it because it's cute. Start using it guys.

  • wat happened to Noah!?!?!?!!?!?!

  • wow

  • Wow, you guys really need to calm your hard-on for Noah. If you don't like the changes, then unsubscribe. Simple as that.

  • at 8:43 ... its alreadyy in zoom. LMAO!!!

  • I'd spunk on her face

  • I have used both of the previous instincts, and I disagree with some things, especially the keyboard. Unless the keyboard is worse on this one, I have always found the keyboard easy to use, so much so I swear I could write a book on it.

  • Sydney you are so cute, and the phone looks good, the video capture is good, more than 1400 ma is good for any battery, but the navigation shorcuts and others things are so weird.

    Best regards :D

  • My old N73 Loaded phonedog way more faster !!!! there was a 5 second distance between the phones

  • This phone seems like a bad choice A VERY BAD CHOICE!

    The phone user messaging interface's keyboard looks stupid .Who would want an ABC keyboard?

  • Wow shes stupid!!!!!!!!!!!! Hot but stupid!!! I had this phone traded for the palm pre, but this phone was really good you just got to get used to it!!! She dumb!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • @alienware702 shes not even hot really. so she is stupid and not even that hot. just plain dumb

  • I really like that you point out the negative features of the phone as well! Usually reviewers like the product because they are paid by the company to like it ;)

  • Blatant motherfucking disrespect!!!

  • she cant use the capacitive touch screen cuz her nails r too long

    but those nails definatly come in handy on a resistive touch screen

  • i love u sydney u r so hottt

  • Can you guy's Show her some respect. I think Sydney does great reviews. But also as a person you all should respect her.

  • abcd mode is probably for one handed use

  • where the fuuck is noah? O_O

  • @whofwhof he hired people to do some reviews for him, hes just one guy, can't do it all alone right?

  • the bold guy sucks!!!!! Sydney you are the best!!!!!!

  • @RiverStar73519

    probably so cuz my cousins use sprint and they rele hate it here

  • well i hav it and its great fer me

  • where is noah now!!!!!!!!!!

  • 320 by 480 thats shit. it should be 480 by 800

  • sounds like bad phone

  • *Ok idk whats wrong with her, but i have an HD and it works amazingly good. I dont have problems with screen responsiveness and i actually use my fingers not nails.

    *I type almost 7 times faster than she was typing I just dont know what was wrong there.

    *They only call this phone has dropped for me was a week ago and because my battery died.

    *I dont know why she cant control the phone correctly, I do very well and the screen on Opera is perfectly responsive.

    On email, my HD updates immediatly

  • where is noah the phonedog guy?

  • @NayNaySoFly16 this is sydney the phondedog girl.

  • Очень большой, глючный телефон. Снова и снова сдирают основные фичи айФона. Лучше бы они думали не о огромном экране, а удобности управления и эргономике.

  • makes me glad to have the mytouch 3g

  • wow this phone looks TERRIBLY frustrating and just bad all around!

    good review sydney (:

  • phonedog should have more hot girls like u fuck noah

  • @RiverStar73519

    at&t is not the worst. have u ever even used att?

  • ugh, this phone looks like a pain in the ass

  • you are hot and you no it thats cool

  • yay Sydney came back!

  • great revieww good job sydney srry if i spell it wrng

  • Good review!! I know it must of been hard reviewing such a sucky phone good job!

  • this fone sucks

  • good job and dont worry about some of the comments

  • the keyboard is actually pretty decent.. no offense but your just not a very good typer sydney

  • you"re hot

  • Sydney u do a GREAT job I've come to like u just as much as everyone else loves Noah (don't worry Noah ur still great).

    As for the phone, I think samsung had a major fail. Abcd keyboard???? Cmon!

    The HD is very nice but not altogether worth it.

    Ugh never getting this phone.

    Keep up the good work and I'd like to see some more videos from Sydney :)

  • bad phone hand in hand with a bad reviewer.

  • DROID is the best

  • no its not, the iphone is

  • droid eris you mean

  • Cell Phone FAIL!
