    Totally cool phone

    By Dan  Sep 19, 2008 | 16 out of 18 found this Samsung Instinct review helpful

    Pros: Web capabilities, mapping features with voice direction, GPS integration

    Cons: No place to store stylus

    We received this phone free from an online survey company to try out (and eventually keep!). We were surprised at the full compliment of accessories that came with this phone...wall charger, spare battery, case, and stylus. It is a great phone that i...s easy to navigate around and has plenty of cool features to keep you going like calendar, alarm, notes, etc. The only problem we have with this phone is the fact that the stylus comes with it, but there is no place to store the stylus on the phone for easy retrieval and use. We don't want to carry the stylus separate from the phone, but with the Instinct, we have no choice. This is the only drawback to the phone that we have. This is an awesome phone and our iPhone friends are envious of us....especially since we got the Instinct FREE through one of the survey companies we belong to. Read more Less

    THE BEST CELL PHONE I'VE EVER HAD!!

    By Cinnamonlovejoy  Nov 7, 2008 | 10 out of 11 found this Samsung Instinct review helpful

    Pros: EVERYTHING!

    Cons: NONE

    This has been the best cell phone I have ever had. I love everything about it. It comes with 2 batteries which allows you to talk up a storm. It also come's with a little case you can put a battery into to charge from the outside of the little ca...se and the case keeps the battery charged once it has been fully charged a light would turn green. It comes with a case to protect your cell and headphones. I ordered a very nice case for my cell online from the sprint store which comes with the little touchscreen pen which makes it a lot easier to type and send messages. It's like a keyboard. Oh! and you can write what you like on the text screen and it will type it for you as you write. The GPS system is the best!!! I love it. I also downloaded some of my own music from my computer into my cell phone so when I'm working out I can use my cell phone as my mp3 player. You can watch tv, read the news, video's...there are so many wonderful things you can do with this phone. You or a love one would love it! It would be a great Christmas gift for someone special...geez I should work for Sprint...lol. just kidding!!! GET THE EVERYTHING PLAN FROM SPRINT AND ENJOY ALL THE FEATURES FOR ONE LOW PRICE OF $99 PER MONTH UNLIMITED EVERYTHING!!! Read more Less

    Great Phone!

    By Michael G  Oct 1, 2008 | 9 out of 9 found this Samsung Instinct review helpful

    Pros: Voice Recognition, Talking Nav, Haptic touch response, Removable/upgradable memory

    Cons: Lack of apps (as of now), Calendar not iCal compatible

    Fast, easy UI. Speech to action is great. Made an iPhone user turn green when we were in the car and she told me about a great cafe. But, didn't know how to get there. I started talking to my phone. The phone told me how to get there. All without... taking my eyes off the road! I've also noticed that the iPhone can't always find where you are. While my Instinct always pinpoints me on the map. Tried that side by side with iPhone users many times. Email and msging functions are convenient. All 4 main menus are laid out well and easily customized. Sending pics or videos is a breeze. With the screen magnification, touching small menu listings on a web page with the tip of your finger isn't a problem. So, on a whole, I don't mind everyone's complaint of nowhere to stow the stylus. Oh, I don't have to deal with AT&T and their bloody black-holes of coverage! Spare battery means I never run out of juice. No matter how hard I run it. one is always charging. There is a lack of apps currently out there. I would love it if I could sync it to my iCal. It's not really a game unit, but then, I'm not much of a gamer. It would also be nice if it had a universal pin style charging plug. But, now I'm getting picky... In all, I love this unit! Read more Less

    Pretty Cool Phone

    By LoriG  Nov 11, 2008 | 7 out of 7 found this Samsung Instinct review helpful

    Pros: Everything overall especially the haptic feed

    Cons: Can't change order of icons

    You won't be disappointed with this phone but you will find it different than a regular phone. My previous phone was a Blackberry Pearl and I truly loved it but wanted something new and different like a touchscreen phone. I had been eyeing the In...stinct for awhile and decided to take the plunge. One thing I noticed right off was how responsive it is to your finger or stylus. Scrolling through your contacts is a breeze but sometimes if you press to hard you may sellect the wrong one. I fixed this by getting a screen cover that has a slight texture and now I don't have that problem anymore. Can't wait for the next software upgrade (coming soon) to see what Samsung gives us next!

    best phone ever!!

    By Brett B  Oct 28, 2008 | 9 out of 12 found this Samsung Instinct review helpful

    Pros: high speed internet, turn by turn GPS

    Cons: applications

    killer phone. Best part may be the great plan that you get from sprint, which is a hundred bucks for everything. phone kills the iphone, and the sprint kills the at&t plan.....no brainer

    4 in one year

    By Chuck N  Apr 28, 2009 | 7 out of 9 found this Samsung Instinct review helpful

    Pros: Touchscreen needs to work to figure this out

    Cons: Touchscreen went out on 4 of these for me in one year

    Touchscreen went out on 4 of these for me in one year. Sprint refused to chnge me to another model. Garbage hardware.

    Combined features of Ipod , palm , phone , and more !

    By ThomasH  Dec 23, 2008 | 3 out of 3 found this Samsung Instinct review helpful

    Pros: All in one super phone

    Cons: long learning curve , calendar needs work

    I was carrying a Palm , a Nextel phone , and an Ipod when I decided to try to combine all three in one . In the process I got a voice activated GPS and directory assistance in the bargain . The only downside has been the calendar . I still have my Pa...lm for that reason . I had been complaining to myself about that feature and was preparing to return the phone when I realized that I really loved the new phone . So I carry both ! Read more Less

    Iphone killer

    By KeoP  Oct 3, 2008 | 4 out of 6 found this Samsung Instinct review helpful

    Pros: Has all user friendly features

    Cons: Touch screen so sensitive

    I got phone call from Sprint sale representative about the new phone for an upgrade promotion and I had no idea what to pick and the sale rep.recommended the new Samsung M800 which was compatible to Iphone but it was Samsung.I was not sure if I liked... it but she confirmed that I could return it for any reason and owed nothing and she also offered me $50.00 credit to my account on top of the mail-in rebate. When I got it a week ago, it was exactly what it was meant to work for me.Web,GPS and MP3 systems are working great and fast.This one can replace all of the other gears which will cost us $400.00 and more to carry.Now I have only this one with me and leave the other gears home or sell them.

    Sprint Finally Has A Phone.

    By Yahoo! Shopping User  Jun 27, 2008 | 3 out of 4 found this Samsung Instinct review helpful

    Pros: Ease of Operating

    Cons: None

    I recently purchased the Instinct phone and am extremely happy with the product. I have friends that have the I-Phone and I was going to get the new one upon release... Sprint contacted me and with the price at 229 minus the 100 rebate... free activa...tion (savings of $18) I couldnt resist and am very happy with my decision. The ease of operation.. the design.. the support make this a winner! Thank you sprint for the phone and the $99 plan for everything. Read more Less
