Looks nice, can't wait to see more shots of the UI shortly]]>Apr 2nd 2008 1:26AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/04/02/video-samsung-instinct-ui-walkthrough/http://www.engadget.com/2008/04/02/video-samsung-instinct-ui-walkthrough/Apr 3rd 2008 12:39AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/04/02/video-samsung-instinct-ui-walkthrough/http://www.engadget.com/2008/04/02/video-samsung-instinct-ui-walkthrough/
Hopefully, I'll get this phone June 20th, with the SERO plan. It's too bad it has no Wi-Fi, but hey, EV-DO Rev. A is fantastic.]]>May 28th 2008 1:22PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/04/02/video-samsung-instinct-ui-walkthrough/http://www.engadget.com/2008/04/02/video-samsung-instinct-ui-walkthrough/]]>Apr 2nd 2008 1:27AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/04/02/video-samsung-instinct-ui-walkthrough/http://www.engadget.com/2008/04/02/video-samsung-instinct-ui-walkthrough/Apr 2nd 2008 1:40AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/04/02/video-samsung-instinct-ui-walkthrough/http://www.engadget.com/2008/04/02/video-samsung-instinct-ui-walkthrough/Apr 2nd 2008 11:06AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/04/02/video-samsung-instinct-ui-walkthrough/http://www.engadget.com/2008/04/02/video-samsung-instinct-ui-walkthrough/
I've been looking forward to this handset for months, and i'm really hoping it delivers, but these videos are giving me some serious doubts about whether samsung can pull it off or not.

We'll see, but 2 or 3 months really isn't a lot of time to get from "turd" to "nice" (much less just getting to "decent") (really, when you take manufacturing into the equation, it would seem that they'd need to be really close to golden-master for the OS if they plan to be SOLD in as little as 60-ish days.)

NO EXCUSES SAMSUNG/SPRINT! - make this thing responsive, snappy, slick, or forget it. this is Sprint's "Last Stand" as far as i'm concerned. I've been with Sprint, mostly using Samsung phones, for over 7 years. if this device isn't good, i'm off to AT&T.
(i don't expect it to be BETTER than the iPhone, i just expect it to be decent; better than the turds like the HTC Touch.)]]>Apr 2nd 2008 7:35PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/04/02/video-samsung-instinct-ui-walkthrough/http://www.engadget.com/2008/04/02/video-samsung-instinct-ui-walkthrough/Apr 2nd 2008 1:58AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/04/02/video-samsung-instinct-ui-walkthrough/http://www.engadget.com/2008/04/02/video-samsung-instinct-ui-walkthrough/Apr 2nd 2008 2:10AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/04/02/video-samsung-instinct-ui-walkthrough/http://www.engadget.com/2008/04/02/video-samsung-instinct-ui-walkthrough/Apr 2nd 2008 6:52AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/04/02/video-samsung-instinct-ui-walkthrough/http://www.engadget.com/2008/04/02/video-samsung-instinct-ui-walkthrough/

Game Over..]]>Apr 3rd 2008 2:07PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/04/02/video-samsung-instinct-ui-walkthrough/http://www.engadget.com/2008/04/02/video-samsung-instinct-ui-walkthrough/
I'm really hoping they got a good browser for this thing, but so far, the browser is looking kind of shitty.

Hopefully it'll be really good by the time it's available, but 3G != Magic Bullet. There are plenty of other ways they can screw this up.

(My fingers are crossed that this thing is great, essentially an iPhone on Sprint, with 3G and GPS, a slightly crappier interface and severely more limited 1st/3rd party support... that sounds like a tradeoff i may be willing to make to stay with my provider of choice. DON'T screw this up Samsung/Sprint!)]]>Apr 2nd 2008 7:40PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/04/02/video-samsung-instinct-ui-walkthrough/http://www.engadget.com/2008/04/02/video-samsung-instinct-ui-walkthrough/
Hopefully the released version will have better response. Samsung has great hardware but they're terrible at software. They really need to improve this facet of their business. ]]>Apr 2nd 2008 10:18AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/04/02/video-samsung-instinct-ui-walkthrough/http://www.engadget.com/2008/04/02/video-samsung-instinct-ui-walkthrough/Apr 2nd 2008 2:24PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/04/02/video-samsung-instinct-ui-walkthrough/http://www.engadget.com/2008/04/02/video-samsung-instinct-ui-walkthrough/Apr 2nd 2008 8:54PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/04/02/video-samsung-instinct-ui-walkthrough/http://www.engadget.com/2008/04/02/video-samsung-instinct-ui-walkthrough/Apr 2nd 2008 10:42AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/04/02/video-samsung-instinct-ui-walkthrough/http://www.engadget.com/2008/04/02/video-samsung-instinct-ui-walkthrough/Apr 2nd 2008 11:59AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/04/02/video-samsung-instinct-ui-walkthrough/http://www.engadget.com/2008/04/02/video-samsung-instinct-ui-walkthrough/Apr 2nd 2008 12:56PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/04/02/video-samsung-instinct-ui-walkthrough/http://www.engadget.com/2008/04/02/video-samsung-instinct-ui-walkthrough/Apr 2nd 2008 4:28PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/04/02/video-samsung-instinct-ui-walkthrough/http://www.engadget.com/2008/04/02/video-samsung-instinct-ui-walkthrough/Apr 2nd 2008 7:04PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/04/02/video-samsung-instinct-ui-walkthrough/http://www.engadget.com/2008/04/02/video-samsung-instinct-ui-walkthrough/Apr 2nd 2008 5:03PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/04/02/video-samsung-instinct-ui-walkthrough/http://www.engadget.com/2008/04/02/video-samsung-instinct-ui-walkthrough/
The problem with the iPhone is that it's exclusive to AT&T. This is where this phone differs. It will be a Sprint phone. ]]>Apr 2nd 2008 8:59PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/04/02/video-samsung-instinct-ui-walkthrough/http://www.engadget.com/2008/04/02/video-samsung-instinct-ui-walkthrough/Apr 15th 2008 12:42PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/04/02/video-samsung-instinct-ui-walkthrough/http://www.engadget.com/2008/04/02/video-samsung-instinct-ui-walkthrough/http://www.MySprintInstinct.com]]>Apr 3rd 2008 12:12PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/04/02/video-samsung-instinct-ui-walkthrough/http://www.engadget.com/2008/04/02/video-samsung-instinct-ui-walkthrough/
But no matter how many people post up videos on you tube showing speed tests of iphones (edge) beating treos (Evdo Rev A), I still find myself longing for my brother's treo when I need to pull up a website in a hurry.
(the speed difference in downloading pages is undeniable when you experiment with the two side by side)

I guess it's a matter of personal preference.
Ugly looking data now....or good looking data later.

Personally, I don't care about how the data looks, just as long as I have it when I need it.

Aesthetics are an added plus..

Lets hope this thing delivers.

I mean look at that thing how close its design to the iPhone.]]>Apr 5th 2008 6:42AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/04/02/video-samsung-instinct-ui-walkthrough/http://www.engadget.com/2008/04/02/video-samsung-instinct-ui-walkthrough/Kool!!,, Now There's A Name Other Than Stupid "IPhone"!!

1. $99 mnthly everything plan that includes unlimited internet on a data network twice as fast as AT&T, unlimited talk time, and unlimited txt! It aslo includes Sprint TV with 20 chanels such as CNN, ABC, Fox Sports, NFL Network, Cartoon Network, etc... To top it off, it has GPS navigation! You can do turn by turn, voice activated, navigation. That'll cost $160 with AT&T or Verizon who have slower data networks and don't have TV. 2. You can insure this phone with Sprint for $7 a month which includes free repairs at tech stores across the country and a $50 dollar replacement fee if lost, destroyed, or water damage. You can't do that with AT&T 3. Discounted price...yes it will be cheaper than the Iphone with a two year contract but if you don't want a contract it will be priced near the Iphone.
There are new videos coming out this week that show that how the interface is quicker than Iphone's interface and blows away the AT&T network.

Main downfalls: The Sprint customer care on the phone is awful, but just go into a store and talk to the manager and ask for the "red carpet care" they'll know what you mean and get your problem solved.
IT IS NOT A PDA! You can't link to outlook, run mobile six programs, or edit microsoft docs. If you want the power of an amazing network though and don't use your phone for a mobile MS office, then who cares.]]>May 15th 2008 12:58PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/04/02/video-samsung-instinct-ui-walkthrough/http://www.engadget.com/2008/04/02/video-samsung-instinct-ui-walkthrough/May 30th 2008 8:58PM
