there is a better plan than 99.99 for unlimted everything including gps and data, and if sprint is getting rid of this plan then they suck because 99.99 is a deal for everything and it sounds true that this plan is gone on June 1st

The only reason I see for them to require that plan to be active on that phone is because if they didn't have that plan on that phone then customers and consumers would pick up the phone on the most basic of plans and start to use it without regard then call in and complain about how high their bill is! Think about it. It's preventative measures. I mean, let's face it, anybody that's in this industry will testify (No matter what carrier) that we do get those complaints and phone calls. "I didn't know that application accessed the internet." So rather than get mad think of it as tactile.

Very good point. No one seems to look at it that way. But those of us who work in the stores actually realize how expensive it can get and how many customers have that sort of problem.

I'm all over this phone, not right away though, I want to see user reviews. They need to ratify this whole "nothing but an Everthing " plan for this phone though, there are lots of people with data plans that cover all the things that this device does

you will have to change them. sprint is making it very clear in both their marketing and in their memos to employees that the ONLY plan the instinct can be activated on are everything plans, t/m/d share plans and employee-liable plans.

theres a couple more weeks for them to change thier minds, the Ultimate and Navigation data pack tsold cover all these capabilities, this plan will disenfranchise those happy with thier current plans

Original Message Follows: ------------------------ Hey guys I emailed sprint customer care about the plan for the instinct. Here is a copy of their reply. ======================================================================== Question: Hi I am looking to purchase the Samsung Instinct when it is released. I currently have a family plan. I heard a rumor that when you purchase the Instinct you have to switch to a Simply Everything Plan.. Is this true? I was hoping to keep my current family plan and if i have to switch I probably will not purchase the new phone. Thank you for contacting Sprint. I will be happy to assist you regarding simply everything plan. Dear Mr.-------- I would like to share with you that it is not necessary to have simply everything plan with the Samsung Instinct. Please be assured that you can keep the older plan with the Samsung Instinct. Please write back to me, if you need any further assistance in this regard. I will be happy to assist you in the best possible manner. Thank you again for contacting Sprint. We appreciate your business. Sincerely, Brock M. Sprint

Just to clarify in regards to the "Any app, Any device" As far as I know, if the device is CDMA, and it has been approved by the FCC, then it will be able to be used on the VZW network with the exception of enhanced features specific to the carrier.

I just recently purchased the instinct and love it. Except when I went to program my calendar events (have 3 kids involved in many things during the week) and most of the events are reoccurring. I contacted Sprint's support and was told that even though I program the reoccurring events it won't show on the following days but I will be reminded of the particular event when the time comes. Basically if someone asks if we have anything planned for 3 weeks from now and I check my calendar it will say that I have no events planned. Is that true? If I keep my phone will I have to program every day to ensure that it shows that I have upcoming events? I know that this is a small portion of what this phone can do, but I live by my calendar everyday and rely on heavliy.
