Samsung and Sprint announced the Instinct. The first information about it leaked back in February, but it is just now (here at CTIA) that it is official. The housing color is black, instead of brown, but the overall design is kept the same – a slim candybar with large (3.1-inch) touch display and only three keys on the front. The display has 240x432-pixels resolution and visualizes up to 262 144 colors. Just as the Glyde for Verizon, Instinct has full HTML browser and is with ‘finger-friendly’ interface, but not the one used in the European models (TouchWiz, Croix). It has full HTML internet browser, EV-DO Rev.A, GPS, Bluetooth, 2-megapixel camera and a microSD slot.

The Samsung Instinct will be exclusively offered with Sprint, but won’t be available for purchase until June.

This phone still wouldn't convince be to go to Sprint. Go to Verizon and get the Voyager, upcoming Glyde, or upcoming Dare. Those will kick this phone's but.

You know what?... I like the whole touch screen idea, but unless it comes with a touch screen QWERTY key pad or some kind of clamshell flip option to reveal a QWERTY key pad, I honestly don't see what would be so novel about this phone. I mean I would imagine that a QWERTY key pad is more important to the functionality of a phone these days (especially those who like to text message) than a touch screen... ALSO I'd like to include, as a disclaimer, about how ANTI-Sprint I am. I might be more forgiving on the uselessness of this phone, if it were under Verizon's newtork... hehe

If you hate sprint than you love throwing away money... The phone is just as nice as any other iphone knock off and better than the voyager.. VZW phones are overpriced, crippled, and uncustomizable...

my plan is 50 bucks it would cost 100 and somthin on VZW sure the CS sucks but e-care handles all my needs in one e-mail.. the only thing VZW has is that darn exclusivity with LG.. The rumor thats sad LG it doesnt even have evdo

GO VERIZON!!! honestly all of the carriers have a decent lineup and personally i do work for verizon and am pleased with the network who cares if something matches up with the iphone or not but every company needs to work on their own product not one to copy another company
