Instinct HD

8.3 out of 10

The Instinct is available at Best Buy for $199.00. I bought it on Sunday the fist day it was released. So far it a pretty good phone I havn't experienced any freezing yet. I have 30 days to return it. Thinking about the New Hero that's coming out on the 11th

5 out of 10

THIS PHONE HAS ALL THE SAME FEATURES THE ONLY THING THAT HAS CHANGED IS THE CAMERA, INTERNET BROWSER BUT THAT IS SLOW EVEN ON WI-FI... THIS PHONE IS NOT A MAJOR JUST A RELEASE WITH A COUPLE UPGRADES WOULD NOT RECOMMEND IT TO ANY ONE THAT ALREADY HAS A INSTINCT IT STILL FREEZES AND IT STILL LAGS... AND ITS NOT ALL THAT GREAT LIKE THE SPRINT TV IS SUPPOSED TO BE IN HD BUT ITS NOT.. TO ME THIS PHONE IS NOT WORTH THE PRICE THAT I PAID IM GOING TO SPRINT TO TAKE IT BACK ASAP BECAUSE ITS NOT WORTH IT..

Pros

GREAT CAMERA
HD
4GB MEMORY CARD
HEADPHONES

Cons

BATTERY LIFE
LAGS
FREEZES
CUTS OFF RANDOMLY
NO HD CABLE INCLUDED (THE CORD IS $30)
