LOL i got it free with my phone upgrade...upgraded from a razr. They even waved the activation fee and gave me free shipping because I did it online...Yay for me. I even upgraded my family plan to get twice as many minutes and free texting for everybody for 20 dollars less than I usually pay (lol i was on a old plan) hurray for sprint!
One other comment. The iPhone comes with 8 or 16 GB. Everyone keeps saying it doesn't have a micro sd slot. There isn't even a 16gb micro sd card out. When it does, it'll be $150 bucks! By the time 16 gb for a phone is not enough space, I would have sold my phone and moved on!
Same with the battery. By the time it doesn't hold a charge anymore, it'll be time for a new phone! I always hated the way my blackjack cover would come off from the slightest of jostles. I don't have that problem now!
actually its $129, I'll have mine next friday! and you have to qualify to get the iphone for 199, btw there is a big ass fee involved with the new iphone
i just got the instinct 2 days ago and i found out that if uve been a customer for 2 years or more the 150$ savings turn into 220$ and then a 100 mail in rebate.
its really amazing the fact that u could hav infinite memory really cuz u jus gotta take out the card and put a new 1.
i work for sprint and so far we have heard is going to be $350 with a $100 rebate...cant wait to get one myself...i played with it already and its awesome...my boy has to download third party software to his iphone just to do what the instinct does stock
wateryspit, what does it matter whether the software comes with the phone or you have to download the software? That's like saying one laptop is better than another because it comes with the software on it!
I've played with the iPhone and the Instinct. NOTHING out there compares to iPhone's touch screen. The Instinct has stereo bluetooth and the iPhone doesn't (not that I ever use that feature). If I had a Sprint account, I'd probably buy this phone. I have AT&T and bought the iPhone 3G.
How a real phone is made? *Clearly* the sprint engineers had an iPhone right next to them when they built this thing! What exactly did Samsung do that was innovative? Nothing, they simply copied the iPhone (as best they could) and said, "here's our 'me too' iPhone!"
Btw, the sprint Network in NYC SUCKS!!! It's why they lost so many customers last year. No network gives you perfect coverage everywhere and there will always be someone complaining about it, depending on where they live/travel.
Yea to be honest, apple iPhone is better than the Instinct, i mean the new iPhone 3g is priced at 200 dollars, super affordable for anyone, and this shit 450?(depending if your contract is over)It looks ugly and im not liking the interface that much. the creators or whatever shouldve been more creative, in all ways, if i had a choice, no thought iPhone in a heartbeat. But there's not another decent touch screen phone for Sprint, so Sprint users have no choice and are forced to go with this.
Sprint is the best company when it comes to phones, they offer the most and have the best prices. Lets all be serious the IPhone sucks unless it is JAILBROKEN!!
Look at it this way, for a $600 phone, it better be able to cook dinner and wash the dishes. The iphone just has a fancy UI that's it, with limited features that other phones have had for years. The Instinct one-ups the iphone with better features and a more fluid UI, and it will be much less on a faster network!
To bad its probably not multitouch or have sensor that detect how its held or a unix operating system... Probably doesnt have the option for watching you tube videos or using a fully featured web browser either... right..
It is multi-touch. It has a sensor, silicon sensor (like the iPhone). It has a web-browser with Flash. Unlike the iPhone. It doesn't run on a UNIX based OS, but what's the point?
dang im really disappointed at the web browser... ive been lookin for a sprint phone with reeeely good web browsing, and this doesnt look too good at that :( now im reconsittering getting this.
Im just pleased that sprint and sansung is coming out with something new, Would have loved an iphone but at&t sucks poor reception in area i live but Sprint has full service. The phone looks cool, just hope i can put drug reference and labs values on it. work in health care.
ahh. thats what i hate about samsung. i've had two samsung phones from sprint and they turn off/ restart when you do too many things at once (i.e on the web and a text comes in, ocasionally it turns off. ) or like on some web pages my phone just restarts. i mean its just a couple of seconds but it can be annoying..but i still want this phone. haha. my ipod touch freezes and i hear that the iPhone freezes too..so for the instinct just to restart itself is easier then you trying to
I'm not a big fan of the Iphone and i've heard of it freezing too. Samsung should fix the restart issues, i've had three and they all worked fine never restarted on me lol. But this is only a BETA so it should be fine when it releases june. It's going to be sweet!!!! can't wait to get my hands on it! lol!
I have and Iphone and it has never frozen on me and I'm a power user there are things that I like about this new Samsung but the biggest seller for me on the Iphone was the Iphones web browser I will have to judge myself if this new phones web browser can do it or not I can say right now just from the video I dont like the way it zooms.
damn your one of the lucky ones. i have a bunch of friends that have exchanged them and get new one or just returned it becaues they just didn't like it. A lot of them have complained about it freezing and even when i used it from two different people it froze up. So i mean it doesnt happen to everyone you know but just from my expirience i didnt like plus its also had battery problems. wich is not an uncommon thing with ipods so i don't doubt that the iphone would have battery problems as well.
I bought my samsung upstage in december and that dumb contract isnt up yet so i guess i cant wait till december to get 75 bucks off cuz i really want this phone...or maybe i should just buy it outright cuz i hatttte sprint...but nice phone
when did you buy the upstage? you can just do an upgrade and you'll extend your contract. But i do not know if they are giving rebates off this phone when it first comes out or if they do it'll still be like 250 - 300.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
this phone is terrible compared to the iphone. It looks boring and has the worse capabilities than the iphone. I have an iphone and i know its better than this garbage imitation so screw anyone whos against the iphone, its the original and one of a kind and the best their is, and the new iphone is going to blow any of these phones out of the water
the htc touch by sprint, actually came out before the iphone. so when apple did come out with the phone, sprint had to react by inventing this one. so i dont want to here about the iphone being the "original" because its not. do your research before you go showing off your piece of shit iphone you douch fag
Okay real quick, This new phone should be called the "iphone killer" lol 3g is almost non existent and cannot compare to the EVDO rev a. Also just a side note this phone comes with a 2gb micro SD card (capable 8gb), 2 batteries (yes 2!!) usb cable, battery charging sleeve, travel charger, leather case, and a headphone set with mic (not wireless). That is ALOT of stuff to be included.
IM kinding thinking about gettin 1 i have the Samsung Upstage rite now any i love it have had no problems with it, im wondering on how much it will be without a 2 year contract cuz i just bot my upstage in August so my contract aint up yet.
I like the 3 buttons on the bottom. The application graphics are cheesy! The screen needs to be a lil bigger than the Iphone for my taste. Its a nice competitor but Im not sold. Still ditching sprint for the Iphone.
Think that one through. While I love my iPhone, I regret ditching Sprint -even with their horrible CS. The 3G iPhone is on it's way, but we still don't have 3G networks for AT&T. I miss my EVDO browsing speeds. You're all set if HSDPA is available in your area in time for the iPhone 2.0 launch. The iPhone, otherwise, has been a good phone. I'm a cellphone whore (smart phones, pdas and regular ones), for a phone to rank high on my happy list, it cant crash, lockup, or be slow. All around groovy.
Guyz i cut the good deal on this from radioshack. got it $101 include activation fee!! yezzz. thiz phone is the must have!!!

With the Instinct you have to choose one company:Sprint. And you can only buy it if you have that company.
