The email setup is kind of a PITA.  There doesn't appear to be any way to go back and check your mail server settings after you've clipped out of the screen, and the "Refresh"  (that is code for Check mail now) is really slow, taking about 25 seconds to pull down a 2k "test" message.  Also the refresh blocks you from doing anything useful, so you can't start a refresh and then start reading as they come in.  I didn't see any options to do an automatic receive every x minutes either.<br><br>This whole "new user paradigm" of touch technology is lost on me.  I kind of liked "buttons".<br><br>-ellie]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Elizabeth Greene]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jun 26th 2008 8:28PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Samsung Instinct gets disassembled, with instructions!]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/26/samsung-instinct-gets-disassembled-with-instructions/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/26/samsung-instinct-gets-disassembled-with-instructions/</guid><description><![CDATA[why???]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Vidit Bhargava]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jun 26th 2008 4:47PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Samsung Instinct gets disassembled, with instructions!]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/26/samsung-instinct-gets-disassembled-with-instructions/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/26/samsung-instinct-gets-disassembled-with-instructions/</guid><description><![CDATA[I smashed mine accidentally, I woke up one morning, had the phone on my bed side table, when I got a text from a buddy, and it had a crack down the middle.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Mickey]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Mar 21st 2009 3:35AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Samsung Instinct gets disassembled, with instructions!]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/26/samsung-instinct-gets-disassembled-with-instructions/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/26/samsung-instinct-gets-disassembled-with-instructions/</guid><description><![CDATA[Cant I just smack it with a hammer? <br>After all its all going to come out if I do that right.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Scott]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jun 26th 2008 4:49PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Samsung Instinct gets disassembled, with instructions!]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/26/samsung-instinct-gets-disassembled-with-instructions/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/26/samsung-instinct-gets-disassembled-with-instructions/</guid><description><![CDATA[and they dont provide a way to put it back...so doesnt matter]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Vidit Bhargava]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jun 26th 2008 4:57PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Samsung Instinct gets disassembled, with instructions!]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/26/samsung-instinct-gets-disassembled-with-instructions/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/26/samsung-instinct-gets-disassembled-with-instructions/</guid><description><![CDATA[For a second after reading the title, I assumed that Samsung gave users the ability to take apart their phone with directions, assuming it would still cover your warranty, and I thought "WHAT?!

It is everywhere! The commercial came on as I was typing this. I'm glad they took the fucking thing apart. And I hope the stupid bitch and the guy in the commercial get caught by the fucking police for having an inferior phone. The stupid bitch bought a handbag while she was in the fucking car. Fuck this phone, fuck Samsung, and fuck Sprint's crappy-ass network! And this was all typed with my iPhone's vertical keyboard, something the Instinct doesn't have because the touch screen is too small and the touch screen doesn't compare to the iPhone's.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[grull27]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jun 26th 2008 5:19PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Samsung Instinct gets disassembled, with instructions!]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/26/samsung-instinct-gets-disassembled-with-instructions/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/26/samsung-instinct-gets-disassembled-with-instructions/</guid><description><![CDATA[Wow you are very  ignorant, let's see... The Instinct has FULL GPS with software to run it, OTA music downloads, MMS, picture/video mail, video recorder, voice commands, 100% open source, etc.  Yet you say it's inferior to the iphone?  By the way, the Instinct has a landscape keyboard which is actually larger than the portrait keyboard of the iphone. ]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[p3t3b2]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jun 26th 2008 8:38PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Samsung Instinct gets disassembled, with instructions!]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/26/samsung-instinct-gets-disassembled-with-instructions/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/26/samsung-instinct-gets-disassembled-with-instructions/</guid><description><![CDATA[Hubba hubba.  Naked Extinct.  Ugly exterior, uglier interior.  I now understand why it's inferior to the iPhone 3G.

The resolution isn't good enough for me. The internet is very slow in my honest opinion. And the interface is a lil stale.<br><br>But kudos to them for trying.

Inless you have tried it for yourself in depth, then i would not be making so many negative comments about something you dont even fully know about.<br><br>I do own an instinct, and i also own an itouch, are there alot of differences between the two that give them both their strong points?  yes, there are.  While its true that sprint did put the phone right up against iphone, without compairing it to one, its a darn good phone.<br><br>It has strong points that iphones lack and points that samsung could have probally done much better on, but no phone is perfect, NOT EVEN IPHONE (omg), so on a rating scale, to all the people who say this is a bad phone without even trying, then grow up, and to the ones compairing it to iphone, its no iphone, but it is a very well made phone that is of very good quality.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Michaelangelo]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jun 26th 2008 7:54PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Samsung Instinct gets disassembled, with instructions!]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/26/samsung-instinct-gets-disassembled-with-instructions/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/26/samsung-instinct-gets-disassembled-with-instructions/</guid><description><![CDATA[Michaelangelo,<br><br>I second your comment.  i[enter noun here] have great function and design.  Smooth screen, fast, but still w/ its own limitations.  <br><br>I like my instict, and I really like the extra battery and case that it comes w/ it so far.  I really hope sprint tweaks its network and software a bit more to make it as sharp and snappy as the i[enter noun here].  Internet is sometimes slow, but i'm hopeful (Firmware update please like Sammy does with their P2--another great alternative to the i[enter noun here]).<br><br><br>]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Abs]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jun 27th 2008 1:55AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Samsung Instinct gets disassembled, with instructions!]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/26/samsung-instinct-gets-disassembled-with-instructions/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/26/samsung-instinct-gets-disassembled-with-instructions/</guid><description><![CDATA[I have an instinct right here. the touchscreen isn't as responsive as iphone. the browser "IS" slow. the live tv is choppy as hell. camera is mediocre with no flash. iphone at least you can go to a wifi spot and get higher speed. but all those probs I listed could just be sprint in my area. of course my laptops broadband card also from sprint sittin in same spot gets much faster speed so don't know. oh and I can't get a freaking ringtone in this instinct without paying for it. I REALLY don't like that. yay I can put 8 gigs of mp3's and video's on the phone. but can't get them to work as a ringer which is total lame]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Demon5]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jul 14th 2008 12:28PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Samsung Instinct gets disassembled, with instructions!]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/26/samsung-instinct-gets-disassembled-with-instructions/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/26/samsung-instinct-gets-disassembled-with-instructions/</guid><description><![CDATA[Do you have a better resolution picture of the ICs inside?

I was able to speed up the browser and download Opera Mini which is really a neat app.  I found plenty of free games, and have never had any problems when I was in the sprint network.  I bought an extened battery online for $22 w/shipping and that has quadrupled the experience!  I'd take this phone over the IPhone any day.  Open source is well worth not having a tilt feature!]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Brandon]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jun 4th 2009 4:43PM</pubDate></item></channel></rss>
