wow... this looks excellent except the fact that it doesn't have stereo bluetooth and led or xenon flash for the camera but you can live without them so its all good

It's a bluetooth profile that supports stereo sound.

a2dp is not available, can connect only mono headset, and bluetooth file sharing is missing too

is it me, or does the screen look crooked when the keyboard is present?

I guess something is wrong with these pictures. I'm fan of this phone and may get one once they appear without a contract.

i think it looks crooked because of the shape of the screen you have a round corner on one end a a slightly less round corner on the other so it may look like it is and you can see the way the light is hitting it. is it me or does this look like a sidekick on steriods

I just got the Instinct a few days ago and am SERIOUSLY thinking about returning it and just waiting for Sprint to come out with their own Android phone. The browser is EXTREMELY slow on the Instinct and I just have a feeling I would be better off waiting. Anyone have any suggestions for me? Wouuld I be wasting my time?

Supposedly there is an update to the Instinct's browser that is scheduled to hit tomorrow, so you may want to wait a day and see if it helps you out.

to bad it is on tmobile right now....wait for verizon to get one.

to(o) bad verizon isnt participating in the open handset alliance.... so theyre not getting one, and if they do join the alliance, wait for a good 2 years for a crippled android phone with a vga camera, no flash...

Verizon is a part of the alliance...as evidenced by their new month-to-month contracts and previous interviews.

Is it only me or there are people out there who think the same. I have been waiting for this phone for 6 months but was disappointed with the fact that it is so BIG, the bottom part, below the screen is so unnecessary - it fills up the pocket. HTC has made nice phones with sleek design such as Diamond. Why did the choose this kind of design? Also, they should have added video-capture (which is a typical feature in other cheap phones too) and FM radio. These two features, I can live with but the bulkiness of the phone, emmmm. I haven’t decided completely but I am thinking about waiting for Samsung Omnia with AT&T. Anyway, let me wait and hear from professional independent reviews (phonearena.com and gsmarena.com). Since it is the first generation device, there is also a chance of being a test-customer. Anyway, time will tell, but good job T-Mobile, the first true smart phone device. Also, thumbs up for Google for its first mobile OS. Let me hear what you have to say fellows.
