This phone is actually a HUGE step up from the iPhone. I work for Best Buy Mobile which is going to be the only company to carry this phone and its a great model. the texting is awesome and when you text the screen actually seems to give in like a normal button would. I can't remember what they told me would be the price on it. All i know is that it rocks. And will ONLY be carried at BEST BUY MOBILE LOCATIONS. :)

Highly Ranked

Not true. It will also be in Sprint retail locations. There's no way that Sprint is going to release its flagship device strictly through a third party.

Yes, for some time the Instinct will be available ONLY through Best Buy Mobile, however that's only for, I believe, 60 days before Sprint Stores start carrying it.

Best Buy is definately not going to have it 60 days before everyone else does. It will all drop on the same day- June 20th. Thats when Sprint Retail gets it.
This phone should be able to put a good fight up against the iPhone, at least before apple releases the second version. It currently has much faster speeds, better sensitivity with its tilt screen, and has sprint's superior GPS system of Telenav that offers traffic reports and lowest gas prices, and people can make full use of the awesome Simply Everything plan.
As for the HTC Diamond, I haven't heard about releasing it for Sprint and I doubt that they will. We haven't had much success with HTC products. The Mogul seems to be too much for people who don't need it all and there aren't too many that need ALL of it. The Touch has had entirely too many problems and I have never sold and had someone keep it. People dont like having their screen freeze and not be able to get contacts out because the transfer is all via bluetooth and a frozen screen won't take a pairing code. They also don't like the fact that the phone frequently gets locked in sleep mode and sends the calls to voicemail.

We are excited for the instinct.
