I hope not....

Also how large is this phone? I mean relative to the iPhone? Bigger or smaller?

And as a Sprint customer I say that's another great step forward for the company.

Better phones, Better customer service, and Better prices. Eventually the mainstream will catch on.]]>Mar 31st 2009 9:45PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/03/31/samsung-instinct-s30-now-official-coming-to-sprint-on-april-19t/http://www.engadget.com/2009/03/31/samsung-instinct-s30-now-official-coming-to-sprint-on-april-19t/
Agreed. I think Sprint is going to make a big comeback in the following years. When the iPhone hype dies, people will see the real AT&T. People are already starting to notice Verizon is a money pit. T-Mobile has the shittiest network, every time I think of T-Mobile, I have feelings of ghettoness.]]>Mar 31st 2009 9:50PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/03/31/samsung-instinct-s30-now-official-coming-to-sprint-on-april-19t/http://www.engadget.com/2009/03/31/samsung-instinct-s30-now-official-coming-to-sprint-on-april-19t/Mar 31st 2009 11:37PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/03/31/samsung-instinct-s30-now-official-coming-to-sprint-on-april-19t/http://www.engadget.com/2009/03/31/samsung-instinct-s30-now-official-coming-to-sprint-on-april-19t/

I remember the whole bullshit "MIDP Compliant" fiasco with the regular Instinct when it first appeared and Sprint refused to allow access to the onscreen keyboard to developers (making it not MIDP compliant!), and if you asked about it on the Sprint forums, your post got deleted nice and quick :) My experience with Sprint customer service back then was nothing short of a nightmare.

I'd rate their network as above average but I hope their customer service has improved since then.]]>Mar 31st 2009 10:01PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/03/31/samsung-instinct-s30-now-official-coming-to-sprint-on-april-19t/http://www.engadget.com/2009/03/31/samsung-instinct-s30-now-official-coming-to-sprint-on-april-19t/Mar 31st 2009 10:04PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/03/31/samsung-instinct-s30-now-official-coming-to-sprint-on-april-19t/http://www.engadget.com/2009/03/31/samsung-instinct-s30-now-official-coming-to-sprint-on-april-19t/Mar 31st 2009 10:09PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/03/31/samsung-instinct-s30-now-official-coming-to-sprint-on-april-19t/http://www.engadget.com/2009/03/31/samsung-instinct-s30-now-official-coming-to-sprint-on-april-19t/Apr 1st 2009 12:27AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/03/31/samsung-instinct-s30-now-official-coming-to-sprint-on-april-19t/http://www.engadget.com/2009/03/31/samsung-instinct-s30-now-official-coming-to-sprint-on-april-19t/Apr 1st 2009 1:34AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/03/31/samsung-instinct-s30-now-official-coming-to-sprint-on-april-19t/http://www.engadget.com/2009/03/31/samsung-instinct-s30-now-official-coming-to-sprint-on-april-19t/Apr 1st 2009 1:59PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/03/31/samsung-instinct-s30-now-official-coming-to-sprint-on-april-19t/http://www.engadget.com/2009/03/31/samsung-instinct-s30-now-official-coming-to-sprint-on-april-19t/Apr 1st 2009 6:32PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/03/31/samsung-instinct-s30-now-official-coming-to-sprint-on-april-19t/http://www.engadget.com/2009/03/31/samsung-instinct-s30-now-official-coming-to-sprint-on-april-19t/Mar 31st 2009 10:11PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/03/31/samsung-instinct-s30-now-official-coming-to-sprint-on-april-19t/http://www.engadget.com/2009/03/31/samsung-instinct-s30-now-official-coming-to-sprint-on-april-19t/
$129.00 isn't a bad price point at all. I doubt this will require the Simply Everything plan like the original Instinct. I think it'll follow the same plan structure the Palm Pre will release on with plans starting at $69.00/month.

As for the Sprint image and the perception that they're terrible, I'm not sure how long that will take to diminish, if ever at all. It's too bad because Sprint really does have the best (fastest) data speeds than all other carriers. Coverage is just as good, if not better, than the other three major carriers. Of course, your milage will vary depending on your location but that's the case with all carriers.

I'm not trying to cause a fight but seriously, Verizon, AT&T and T-Mobile just aren't superior to Sprint. The only thing AT&T has over Sprint is the iPhone, which is a deal big but being that I take my data speeds and coverage seriously, I'm happy Sprint is around. PALM PRE FTW!! I'm so excited!]]>Mar 31st 2009 10:12PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/03/31/samsung-instinct-s30-now-official-coming-to-sprint-on-april-19t/http://www.engadget.com/2009/03/31/samsung-instinct-s30-now-official-coming-to-sprint-on-april-19t/Apr 1st 2009 12:06AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/03/31/samsung-instinct-s30-now-official-coming-to-sprint-on-april-19t/http://www.engadget.com/2009/03/31/samsung-instinct-s30-now-official-coming-to-sprint-on-april-19t/

I also have a SERO plan and it is driving me crazy that all these phones require plans with a minimum charge of $69+ per month.. i.e PRE and this new instinct... probably. I am currently using a Palm Treo 755p and want an upgrade. Any suggestions to pair with my SERO plan that would also have a qwerty keyboard?

Just wondering. If I were to buy a HTC Touch Pro would they allow it on a SERO plan? Mine is $30 for 500 min, unlimited nights & weekends, nights at 7pm, unlimited sprint to sprint, unlimited web and unlimited texts. How can anyone consider changing this plan!?!?!?!

I hadn't heard about that limitation with the Sero plan (i too have the $30 a month deal... wouldn't leave it for a phone) not to mention i have two lines one 500 the other 1200 min, unlimited everything... paying less than $50 a month total(because of a few early mishaps :)

anyway check out howardforums they have a section on SERO that might be able to help you out and answer those questions,

i think if they don't allow the upgrade on the PRE and it's too expensive outright i might check out HTC Touch Pro2 (friend has touch pro and it's nice). with a keyboard.
