Samsung Instinct-M800 Review - Conclusion
ConclusionEditor Rating:   4.55 4  4 4 5 5 But enough with the comparisons. Taken on its own merits, Instinct is a very good device and definitely one of the best media-centric handsets currently available on a US carrier. I’d like to see a more robust Web browser (Opera mini for Instinct could be killer), Mobile IM, and the ability for Instinct users to use purchased songs as ringtones on the device - though that last request may be impossible thanks to licensing agreements - but otherwise there’s not much that this phone doesn’t do. Call quality issues popped up a few times, and I don’t think I ever experienced the full speed of EV-DO Rev. A during Web browsing, but I think that’s basically the end of my complaint list. Oh, wait, where’s the flash for the camera? Okay, seriously, that’s it for the complaints. Instinct’s a solid, solid media phone and a great option for Sprint customers. This is the flashy, feature-rich phone that Sprint users have been waiting for, and by and large it delivers. $129 is a bargain for a device of this quality, and $70/month for unlimited data, messaging, Sprint TV, and GPS along with 450 minutes (or $100 for unlimited minutes) isn’t a bad deal by today’s standards, though there’s no less expensive option for anyone not interested in all of the extras. No one phone is going to be all things to all people, and Instinct enters a field of touchscreen media phones now crowded by the likes of the iPhone, LG Vu, LG Dare, and forthcoming BlackBerry Thunder ... and that’s not counting unlocked GSM phones suitable for use on AT&T and T-Mobile. Instinct will hold its own against any of the current generation of media phones; whether or not it’s the one for you, only you can decide. But it’s certainly worth a serious look. Reviews by companyApple, BenQ, BlackBerry, Eten, HTC, LG, Motorola, Nokia, o2, Palm, Pantech, Samsung, Sanyo, Sharp, Sony EricssonOur fancy algorithm says this stuff is related...Monday, August 18, 2008This is my first time leaving a comment but I think you all at phonedog do an awsome job. If you get a chance Noah you should tell your contacts at sprint to add more customization to the UI. I love thats it's easy and simple to use but it gets dull. And whats the longest time it takes to get all the app updates because I still haven't gotten mine. Monday, August 18, 2008Can you load music that you have already on your computer onto this phone or do you have to buy and download the music directly on the phone? Also, if you play music without headphones will the music play outloud? Please answer my question Thursday, August 14, 2008phonedog what,s up, are you going to help us make the instinct a nicer phone, by telling sprint all the stuff that should be on it, like nicer browser an nicer email an nicer background for pic,you do talk to sprint all the time, so what,s up are you going to help us or what Sunday, August 03, 2008Might......not "mite". Wow

Monday, July 28, 2008i mite get this phone and i was just wondering some of the same questions can you set a voice recording as a ring tone and do im like for myspace, does it store info in the phone its self because that mite load faster so if you can e-mail me the answers please do, thank you (: Monday, July 28, 2008So does that mean im not able to us windows live messenger on my instinct cell phone? i been look every where on the web to see if i can use it. and all the cover for this cell phones are hard to take off, I bought a cover (brings 2 red and transparent) but i cant take it off to change the battery and i hear that its also hard to take off the cover for the battery :S msn me back or send a email to d-president@hotmail.com about this. Thanks - Alex Sunday, July 27, 2008Is there a way to set up certain ringtones for certain people? Thursday, July 24, 2008@Lonnie - Instinct will sync contacts and email, however calendar sync is not supported at this time. Possibly in a future software update. Thursday, July 17, 2008I am wondering if the Instict will sync to Outlook on a PC - Contacts, Calendar and Notes.
Also, what is the internal memory?
Thank you!
Lonnie Thursday, July 17, 2008the Simply Everything Plan is included, and actually required for this phone, and it includes unlimited text and photos and stuff like that.. what is NOT included however is the Sprint Music store, and some of the 'tv' channels, so if you're trying those features you will be charged. Also you'll be charged for using any '3rd party' app subscriptions should you start using any (by the usual $3 or $4/month deal).
(as far as i'm concerned, the SEP more than covers all the features i care to use for it) Friday, July 04, 2008hey CW Sidustar, did you get the Simply Everything plan with it and still get the extra fees for overage or whatever? cause i thought that with the SEP you can get unlimited for all the things they have and it gives you a fully listed list of everything that plan covers... Thursday, July 03, 2008Sure the phone is great but Sprint's sales/customer care is horrible!!! They deceive you in the selling points, you have to check your bill every month for over charges. Credits just disappear. I am leaving Sprint after 11 years and gave back 2 Instincts because of these horrible practices which are worse now than ever. New CEO??? That's a laugh! It's the same old Sprint. Monday, June 30, 2008This phone looks awesome, mine ships next monday |
