Be Happy with what you have...... ]]>Jul 30th 2008 5:02PMhttp://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/07/30/samsung-instinct-gets-its-first-firmware-update-too-little-too/http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/07/30/samsung-instinct-gets-its-first-firmware-update-too-little-too/
Why do people feel the need to bring up the iPhone whenever the Instinct is mentioned? The iPhone's sold millions of units, the Instinct... Not so much. The iPhone is more of a smartphone (a beautiful integration of a feature phone and smartphone) as opposed to the Instinct being a feature phone.
Basically what they have in common is they're both touchscreens and the only thing the Instinct has over the iPhones touchscreen is the fact that it can be used with a stylus. Other than that, the iPhones touchscreen is still unmatched by any phone.]]>Jul 30th 2008 10:52PMhttp://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/07/30/samsung-instinct-gets-its-first-firmware-update-too-little-too/http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/07/30/samsung-instinct-gets-its-first-firmware-update-too-little-too/
Oh, but you'll have a pretty phone!]]>Aug 9th 2008 3:26PMhttp://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/07/30/samsung-instinct-gets-its-first-firmware-update-too-little-too/http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/07/30/samsung-instinct-gets-its-first-firmware-update-too-little-too/

My data speeds are still 300kbps, not the 2300kbps most people report.

My TV is STILL just as pixelated, takes forever to load, and stalls just as before.

My email - what feature did this have in the update?

Navigation - NEVER did anything in the background when I hit home - so apparently ya'll had a bad version.

My battery 100% is the only real update.]]>Jul 30th 2008 5:00PMhttp://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/07/30/samsung-instinct-gets-its-first-firmware-update-too-little-too/http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/07/30/samsung-instinct-gets-its-first-firmware-update-too-little-too/Jul 30th 2008 5:08PMhttp://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/07/30/samsung-instinct-gets-its-first-firmware-update-too-little-too/http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/07/30/samsung-instinct-gets-its-first-firmware-update-too-little-too/

I think the people that have the most problem with this phone are the closet Apple fanboys who try to find an alternative to the iPhone, and eventually they walk out disappointed because it can't live up to their expectations. There's really not much wrong with the phone, it is what it is, but I guess compared to the iPhone, it's bad. Whatever though, it's a bargain for it's phone and plan price (as it should be since it's JUST a phone), compared to AT&T's money grubbing prices.]]>Jul 31st 2008 12:56AMhttp://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/07/30/samsung-instinct-gets-its-first-firmware-update-too-little-too/http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/07/30/samsung-instinct-gets-its-first-firmware-update-too-little-too/Jul 31st 2008 1:35AMhttp://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/07/30/samsung-instinct-gets-its-first-firmware-update-too-little-too/http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/07/30/samsung-instinct-gets-its-first-firmware-update-too-little-too/Jul 30th 2008 9:53PMhttp://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/07/30/samsung-instinct-gets-its-first-firmware-update-too-little-too/http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/07/30/samsung-instinct-gets-its-first-firmware-update-too-little-too/Jul 31st 2008 4:59AMhttp://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/07/30/samsung-instinct-gets-its-first-firmware-update-too-little-too/http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/07/30/samsung-instinct-gets-its-first-firmware-update-too-little-too/Jul 31st 2008 5:09AMhttp://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/07/30/samsung-instinct-gets-its-first-firmware-update-too-little-too/http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/07/30/samsung-instinct-gets-its-first-firmware-update-too-little-too/
Rich: I agree with that. For some reason every post about the Instinct that I've seen was something negative. Then again, tech blogs will be biased when it comes to competition, no matter how delusional. The Instinct is a good phone, and no matter how much people try to compare it to the iPhone, it's still not as good as an iPhone, so let's just drop the competing thing and defaming the Instinct because it's not fair for those interested in the Instinct and when they research it here all they find is that it's bad.]]>Jul 31st 2008 1:22PMhttp://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/07/30/samsung-instinct-gets-its-first-firmware-update-too-little-too/http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/07/30/samsung-instinct-gets-its-first-firmware-update-too-little-too/

Maybe we the people should start insisting a refund of partial billing to send a message to sprint. I will see what customer retention says and report back.

I know that this is petty and so whiney compared to real life problems, but I'm tired of companys "selling" half-baked products with no real recourse. I have till next week to opt out of the phone. maybe I should go to AT&T...]]>Aug 5th 2008 11:42AMhttp://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/07/30/samsung-instinct-gets-its-first-firmware-update-too-little-too/http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/07/30/samsung-instinct-gets-its-first-firmware-update-too-little-too/Aug 6th 2008 1:12PMhttp://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/07/30/samsung-instinct-gets-its-first-firmware-update-too-little-too/http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/07/30/samsung-instinct-gets-its-first-firmware-update-too-little-too/
