"Awesome phone from Sprint! (Finally)"
Pros: Easy Navigation, good Call quality, easy email access, great touch keyboard
Cons: internet doesn't perform that well
Summary: Like a nerd, I went to get my Instinct the today first thing in the a.m. I was pleasantly surprised at how easy it was to navigate. didn't take long to pick up on how to work it and navigate it. Love the touch screen, call quality has been excellent and I love the features. The turn by turn GPS and the Live search are AWESOME. The voice recognition software is flawless as well. The only flaw is that it obviously isn't as 'beautiful' as the iphone and the internet surfing so far as been a little disappointing.
I was one of the guys on the fence about dropping sprint because of their lackluster phones (I had a treo 700wx that was junk)and grabbing an iphone. But sprint has finally put out an excellent phone, with a price point and plan that can't be beat!

To itoknowu:
are you serious? You acctually expect samsung to have programers create a small program for pdf's and doc becuase your not patient enough to opent said email from a laptop or desk top. its a phone for crying out loud. I dont expect it to be able to open those kinda attatchments because A it has a limitation in the sd cards memory sizes. and B. its not a serious issue! -
if you're in canada, you want to check the prices from BELL. They have a nice website especially made for the samsung instinct : http://www.socializer.ca

Are you kidding me? This is a serious issue that needs to be addressed. You can not open attachements with Instinct. Can it get any more low tech? I can't believe a company would put product out that does not open email attachements.

I picked up my Instinct yesterday as well, so far so good.Love the live search and GPS. I had the Treo 700 wx and loved it.I do miss the today screen from the treo and synching the calendar. The calendar is the only feature I don't like compared to the Treo. I'm also getting better reception with the Instinct compared to the Treo.
