Instinct keeps getting better, now offers calendar sync
Share this page:
This is a full featured solution, which gives the user complete control over their calendar. From the Instinct users users can see upcoming appointments in daily, weekly and monthly views, as well as an appointment view which gives them further detail about the event. Appointments can be created, edited and deleted on the go, and users are able to accept and decline meeting invitations. Anything done on the phone, of course, syncs back with the server. The update to Sprint Mobile Email is available now to all existing customers, and new customers will automatically benefit from the changes. Sprint plans to bring this update to other non-PDA phones in the future, further blurring the line between consumer and corporate devices.

Any chance of a re-review of this phone with all the updates? It's almost like a whole new device and my girlfriend is kicking herself for selling it off early!

the instinct wasnt meant to be a smartphone when it came out. It was a media phone directed at a younger crowd. However, this update is great for those who want to use their instinct as a "smart phone" either way im glad it came out

Instinct isn't quite a smartphone yet. Once Sprint actually initiate the App store, making use of the SDK, then it can reach that status. - VDubb

it already has an "app store," youve been able to download games and applications from day one

At this point I am starting to feel bad for Sprint. They are trying but I am sure their fourth quarter numbers will be terrible. I hope they can manage to keep it together because if they gain some steam maybe my verizon bill would go down and the market as a whole would be more competitive.

This phone is great! I have had my instinct for about 2 months and every update has made this phone excellent.

I actually have really been happy with my Instinct. I know there have been a lot of folks that have given up on this phone and are claiming that Sprint is as well, but they are still advertising the heck out of it and continue to improve it as they go. They would not do this if they were abandoning the phone as many of the fatalists have claimed. This update is a really good step forward. It is really helpful that to be able to view file attachments. There is also an independent app store developing athttp://www.instinct-software.com Most of the apps aren't overwhelmingly cool yet, but there is one that looks like it will make a lot of folks happy. It is a Calendar program that will eventually (its not fully functional yet) sync with Google Calendar, which easily syncs with iCal, etc.

lets see... there network, based on subscribers is pretty good... they finished top 2 in most markets, behind verizon... its not the network that needs the money... they should gobble up all the small carriers like verizon does, and claim that they spend more money than anyone else on the network... buying companies out does improve the network, but its misleading the customers...

was this based on sprint and verizon being the only two cdma carriers?

a lot of smaller markets have cdma carriers... the alltel acquisition is a prime example... theyre cdma too...

One of the 1st first thing antagonist say is Sprint has a bad network, that's just plain have because it isn't true
