great phone i have to say. Everything you could want in a phone, a tru Iphone killer !!! My friends Iphone 3g can't keep up with this thing, its not that much better, but just enough to make a difference. I'm not saying to throw your Iphone in the trash, just saying if your coming up on the end of your contract do NOT reup. with the rebates and specials and all the extra features this phone has over the Iphone look no further. Iphone needs to go back to the drawing board in order to remain competitive.

Pros

Everything sorry for the lack of details, but cant really see many flaws

Cons

only thing really maybe is no wifi everyhting else is better than the competition

I 've hadt this baby for a full week. and so far I can not find anything wrong with it.. I was going to give in to an iPhone or an LG VU, and good thing I started messing with this one because now I am the happiest man in the world..

Typing on it is much easier then I expected after playing with both touch only phones from ATT, even my wife likes it,, hehehe!!

Seriously, I recently moved to AT&T, but now, after a few years of been away from Sprint, I can not even complain about coverage because this phone has great reception, and it helps that Sprint still making their network better and better..

I highly recommend it..

After months of research and and comparing it to my friend's iPhone 3G, the Instinct far exceeds the capabilities of all phones. Thank you.
