The problem with these phone companies like samsung or lg is that they release so many phones, all they care about is putting out the product quick and having it sell to those unsuspecting customers.

And its not even their main product!
Samsung= nand chips
Lg= wahers & dryers (etc)

To be honest i just want a little quality in these phones.]]>May 30th 2009 7:09AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/30/how-would-you-change-samsungs-instinct-s30/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/30/how-would-you-change-samsungs-instinct-s30/May 30th 2009 4:46AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/30/how-would-you-change-samsungs-instinct-s30/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/30/how-would-you-change-samsungs-instinct-s30/http://12tb.com/browse/WirelessAccessories/283273011/Samsung-Unlocked-Phones]]>May 30th 2009 12:12PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/30/how-would-you-change-samsungs-instinct-s30/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/30/how-would-you-change-samsungs-instinct-s30/May 30th 2009 4:51AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/30/how-would-you-change-samsungs-instinct-s30/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/30/how-would-you-change-samsungs-instinct-s30/More fluid UI

Do you realize its an ipod touch with lower specs and less build quality?
(by specs i mean the screen resolution, at this point.)
Unless its half the price, honestly no one is gonna buy it,
and then your left without a developer base like android or the pre.

Maybe if you think for yourself microsoft, we could push some good products out yeah?]]>May 30th 2009 7:12AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/30/how-would-you-change-samsungs-instinct-s30/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/30/how-would-you-change-samsungs-instinct-s30/
The iphone AND ipod touch are both low specd anyway... lawl at the screen res and the 2mp camera ]]>May 30th 2009 7:28AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/30/how-would-you-change-samsungs-instinct-s30/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/30/how-would-you-change-samsungs-instinct-s30/
Yet they still run the worlds most advanced mobile software flawlessly
(in most cases)

Did i mention that the ipod touch comes with 50,000 apps?

Thats a plus over microsofts... zero at this point.]]>May 30th 2009 7:57AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/30/how-would-you-change-samsungs-instinct-s30/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/30/how-would-you-change-samsungs-instinct-s30/
yeah 50,000 apps of suck.

It's a proven fact that 90% of those hailed billion apps downloaded are sitting on people's iCrappityCrapCrap having been used once or twice, or simply deleted.

- Sorry your apps store full of crap is not a great selling point.]]>May 30th 2009 8:15AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/30/how-would-you-change-samsungs-instinct-s30/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/30/how-would-you-change-samsungs-instinct-s30/

I'd much rather buy a Sciphone i68+, which is only $90 yet is unlocked quadband GSM and has a 3.2 inch display :

Get rid of the Java Brew OS! It sucks! The virtual java keyboard SUCKS on so many levels... without an accelerometer, you are constantly turning your phone from portrait to landscape unless you are some freakazoid who actually likes the portrait keyboard. Replace Java Brew with Android, that way we can at least have some REAL APPS!

The greedy fucks at Handmark who's software is pretty much the only thing that comes on this shitty phone recently put ADs at the top of their apps. The weather app is so fucking lame that it cannot even display an animated radar image. How hard is this to accomplish Sprint? Seriously? Animated gif support should not be that hard. It's not like we are asking for Flash!

How about a real YouTube app?

How about STOP TAKING AWAY ALL THE GODDAMN TV / RADIO STATIONS! When I signed up, there was a ton of content in the TV / Radio app, now things like NPR to Comedy Central Live have all been removed in favor of trying to get you to sign up for TV packages. That's some bullshit, I am already paying $99 for an UNLIMITED EVERYTHING PLAN, so why the fuck am I losing channel/stations as the premium packages grow in size? don't even get me started on the TV video quality! If you actually want to do watch TV with any real sense of quality, you have to do some #DATA settings hacks... but if you do, then you can't watch the News videos from Handmark app which actually has very good quality.

So, drop Java Brew and replace it with Android. Drop the ridiculous license fee and locked API restrictions that prevent independent developers from writing apps for this phone. Keep pushing out firmware updates until the phone actually works without issue. Stop screwing us over by taking away the TV / Radio stations. Animated GIF support for animated radar in the Weather app. Tell Handspring to remove those fucking ads at the top of there apps. Add an accelerometer because it's ridiculous when you try to use Opera in landscape how many times you have to rotate the phone 90 degrees. It would be nice to be able to remove Google Maps without bricking the phone. But hey... Sprint at least fixed it to where we can type MICROBREW without rebooting the phone. ]]>May 30th 2009 9:14AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/30/how-would-you-change-samsungs-instinct-s30/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/30/how-would-you-change-samsungs-instinct-s30/May 30th 2009 10:26AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/30/how-would-you-change-samsungs-instinct-s30/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/30/how-would-you-change-samsungs-instinct-s30/
1. Put it on AT&T... (Sorry I like my AT&T since all my family and freinds are on AT&T and it's free mobile to mobile with them 24/7)

2. BIGGET screen

3. Better keyboard

4. More programs to download and install. As many as the iphone! I love some of the iphone programs just can't stand the iphone!]]>May 31st 2009 2:34PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/30/how-would-you-change-samsungs-instinct-s30/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/30/how-would-you-change-samsungs-instinct-s30/
The instinct 2 doesn't look nice to me, but of course it's spec sheet is way more impressive. I see the s30 as just the original with a much needed facelift.

Oh and living without rev-A is perfectly fine. It's not like the browser can handle faster speeds anyways and it's not like there is a browser that's fully compatible with the hardware and render's things faster. And I guess lastly, any other sort of streaming media works just fine on this phone with rev-0.

Bottom line, I like the phone and it's features. Are there more things that could have been packed into it? Yes, but as a gadget kind of guy - as we all are if we are even posting on this "thread" - then we always want more. ]]>May 30th 2009 10:23AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/30/how-would-you-change-samsungs-instinct-s30/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/30/how-would-you-change-samsungs-instinct-s30/May 30th 2009 11:06AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/30/how-would-you-change-samsungs-instinct-s30/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/30/how-would-you-change-samsungs-instinct-s30/
I just lost my original Instinct last week, and i'm using an old phone as a placeholder.

do i call in my insurance and replace my Instinct? Or do i continue to use my placeholder phone and use my money for a Pre?


I do like my instinct, but i feel a constant sense of phone envy when my buddies whip out their iPhones and G1's. So i'm left wondering, is it worth replacing? or is it time to move on?

feel free to respond with your thoughts.]]>May 30th 2009 11:16AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/30/how-would-you-change-samsungs-instinct-s30/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/30/how-would-you-change-samsungs-instinct-s30/
