I'm probably off, forgive conspiracy theorist in me; yours idea is certainly more plausible.]]>Apr 2nd 2008 4:15PMhttp://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/04/02/hands-on-with-samsungs-instinct/http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/04/02/hands-on-with-samsungs-instinct/Love the form factor.
Dislike the UI.
Hate the network.

No matter how good this phone was, I don't think it could convince me to switch to Sprint. ]]>Apr 2nd 2008 12:00PMhttp://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/04/02/hands-on-with-samsungs-instinct/http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/04/02/hands-on-with-samsungs-instinct/
Just another uninformed American, big surprise.]]>Apr 2nd 2008 1:22PMhttp://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/04/02/hands-on-with-samsungs-instinct/http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/04/02/hands-on-with-samsungs-instinct/Apr 2nd 2008 2:45PMhttp://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/04/02/hands-on-with-samsungs-instinct/http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/04/02/hands-on-with-samsungs-instinct/Apr 2nd 2008 4:14PMhttp://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/04/02/hands-on-with-samsungs-instinct/http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/04/02/hands-on-with-samsungs-instinct/
I am a "clueless American" and you are spouting off about the glories of some crappy MVNO? Excuse me if I do not concede to your point.

While Sprint is making progress in the services they provide, in my opinion it is fruitless labor. EVDO rev.A? XOHM? Who really cares when you can't even get a signal with their service? Or once you get a signal, it will only be a matter of minutes, or even seconds before your call is dropped.

I've been smart enough to steer clear of all of Sprint and all of these MVNOs running on their network. As attractive as some of their packages are, when do they lose their value due to lack of availability?

One short example:

A close friend who owns a lawn care company running multiple crews recently dropped Verizon to go exclusively to Sprint/Nextel for the "push to talk" feature. And while he is satisfied with the push to talk, he says that moving to Sprint was one of the worst decisions he has ever made. What good is a "business" phone number that his clients and potential clients can't even reach him on? He currently has a couple months worth of credit on his account due to problems he has had with his phones.

And while this may be a specific local issue, I am sure you will see it echoed throughout the nation. And for the record, I do not have Verizon or AT&T. But I will be switching to one of those carriers this summer from T-Mobile. ]]>Apr 2nd 2008 4:14PMhttp://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/04/02/hands-on-with-samsungs-instinct/http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/04/02/hands-on-with-samsungs-instinct/
The truth is, there won't ever be an "iPhone Killer" just like there won't ever ben an "iPod Killer"

Apple is so far ahead of everyone else that they all have to copy Apple in order to stay in business. We're not only seeing this in the phone category but also in computers and MP3 players.

When Samsung released the Upstage for Sprint, that was also supposed to be the "iPhone Killer" but for some reason, I never saw any build-up or people waiting in line for its release and I'm sure there won't be people camping out for this phone either.]]>Apr 2nd 2008 1:25PMhttp://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/04/02/hands-on-with-samsungs-instinct/http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/04/02/hands-on-with-samsungs-instinct/

I don't know how Sprint signal is where you all live, but in Jersey/NYC, it is top-notch. 9 years a customer, and I can count on 2 hands the number of dropped calls I have had.

I've traveled the US, even gone to east-bumblefudge idaho, in between mountains, and still had a signal.

But it is true, to each their own. What works for me may not work for you.]]>Apr 2nd 2008 8:44PMhttp://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/04/02/hands-on-with-samsungs-instinct/http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/04/02/hands-on-with-samsungs-instinct/Apr 4th 2008 11:48AMhttp://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/04/02/hands-on-with-samsungs-instinct/http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/04/02/hands-on-with-samsungs-instinct/Size: 4.57" x 2.17" x 0.49"

Their customer service is lacking - but it's getting better. I want an iPhone because I browse from my phone a lot but it isn't worth it to pay ~$50 more a month for AT&T vs. Sprint. 500 minutes, unlimited data for only $30 a month? How can you beat that?]]>May 5th 2008 9:32AMhttp://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/04/02/hands-on-with-samsungs-instinct/http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/04/02/hands-on-with-samsungs-instinct/May 26th 2008 8:05PMhttp://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/04/02/hands-on-with-samsungs-instinct/http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/04/02/hands-on-with-samsungs-instinct/
