This phone is amazing!! I work for sprint and I got it a week before it came out. First I thought the phone was all bugged since not a single web feature worked. Than Management came and he told me web services were off until the 20th so I was relieved. Phone works great speed is amazing. I read someone had slow bluetooth transfer? Mine transfered extremely fast I transfered all my phone book 200+ numbers within a minute which I was suprised... Navigation actually works 10 times faster than the $500 GPS I bought for my dad.. Cant complain on this phone.
Price is definately amazing very affordable and great.
I believe this is a definate Iphone killer because my friend she was playing with my phone and took her only 10 mins to tell me I can keep her Iphone, which I have no use for. So yea this phone is definately a great investment!! MUST GET!! two thumbs up.

36. THE BEST PHONE EVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The BEST Ive seen in a while , I work at an Indirect store and I would hands down recommend this phone to people!! The phone is user friendly and very intuitive. All the features are fast and smooth, and the touch screen technology is amazing, better than the i phone because the i phone works with heat sensative and thats horrible = ( ...The Instinct web browser is much faster. Can take video, Listen to the radio and live TV. The Instinct has push button voice activation for turn by turn GPS directions for any service availible. Longer battery life, weights lighter and has more memory then the I Phone. The Instinct has voice dialing and memory card slot, not the I Phone.. Sorry, but this is a Phone Killer
one of the other best things about it the texting is greater than what i espected its damn well acurate on point and easy to use = )for heavy texters nice !!!!!!This phone ROCKS!!
AND this comes from i guy who had the i phone for a while belive me its the Instinct is the bes of its kind !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

37. Bestest New Toy I Got In a While

Design: A better anti-glare screen would have rocked but its big with lots of colors so I can't complian ...much
Features: The phone has damn near everything, I think you can pop popcorn on it too ...just gotta find the settings for that
Sound: Loud! Clear. Good Bass.
Both voice calls and music come through great, A little distortion at the lower bass frequencies, but as good as most mp3 players out there
Signal: Haven't had a problem or dropped cal (only used it for a day), but its as good as any other sprint phone I've had. Which, has anyways been great for me ...guess it depends on where you live.
Value: Are you kidding me ...you can't get a decent mp3 player for $130, and a phone with anywhere near as many features for less than $200 HA.
So ...this thing is almost too good to be true, and yet I have one on my desk right now. It's not perfect, it freezes from time to time and the touch and slide interface doesn't always do what I want, but its a first generation. And, from the rest of this review you can tell it takes NOTHING away from the experience.
The Good:
-Has everything!
-Cheap! (I got the everything plan with 450 minutes for $70 ...I rarely go over 300 so the plans are easy on the pocket too)
-Durable! (I dropped it twice yesterday), no visible dents or scratches
-MicroSD!! (you can replace the INCLUDE, very nice) 2GB with an 8GB if you like)
-Touch Screen!!!
The Not So Great:
-Slow file transfers over bluetooth (I just plug the SD card in my comp ...light years faster)
-The keyboard display is inconsistent and at times just random, but its very accurate and easy to use
-Navigation system doesn't have my city!!! (Fairfax, VA get it in there damnit)
-Mobile apps are gonna have to update there software to support the on screen keypad (Google Maps and Opera choked :( )
-No condom holder (well I wanted to have any equal number of good and bad so I just put down what came to mind ...and I could see where on would come in handy :-> )
If I were me I would get one ...no its not an IPhone and I have no idea how long the battery will last playing music, but no matter what I find out about this phone from here on, its so worth the price, I feel like I bought a stolen phone. If you take the time to look at the positives of the phone and not the fact that the pictures don't turn when you turn the phone, I can't see how you wouldn't love this phone.

So I've had the instinct for about 48 hrs as of this posting and aside from a few drawbacks it's amazing.
The best feature is the price and options. 3.5mm audio jack, removable battery, upgradable memory ect.
the calls, text, visual voicemail, camera, camcorder and applications are the best I've seen on any phone.
The live search and GPS navigation paired together are worth the $129.00 price tag alone.
The interface is simple and intuitive, almost playful.
once you pick up an iphone again you will understand how cool haptic feedback is.
The internet browser is super fast and easy to use.
Conectivity to the PC is very easy and file transfers are as easy as using a thumb drive.
Drawbacks:
It's easy to see why Sprint threw in an extra battery, you will need it. GPS will drain a fully charged battery in less than an hour. Video or web browsing in about 2hrs.
Browsing the web: most video and audio embedded in HTML sites will not play back. YouTube is an exception.
Like the iphone you cannot cut and paste text.
Some features promised before release are not included: voice recording, zoom and flash on the camera.
mp3s on the phone cannot be used as ringtones, a feature that was disappointingly missing, the $99.00 Palm Centro does it.
Any URL or phone number in a text or email cannot be used to directly connect to it. (the live search or browser works so good it can be worked around)
the included earbud headphones stink. the microphone is located on the right side ear wire and it's weight tugs it out of your ear with the slightest movement.
Tv and radio quality is not great. Sound quality from the speaker is good for voice but not optimized for dynamic music frequencies (plugging in a quality headset or car adapter completely changes this)
Overall this is a fantastic phone, probably the best I've ever used. It's not as classy as the iPhone but everything on it works all the time (no dropped AT&T calls or snail like Internet.)
it could be the best $129.00 ever sold.
