I've never like the Instinct. I'm not an Iphone lover, but I get the appeal over this crappy attempt by Sprint and Samsung to do battle with Apple. I personally use an HTC Touch Pro and love it (and no, it's not an Iphone clone, it's just the next logical upgrade from the Mogul and the 6700).

Right when I take that phone off my account and bought a BlackBerry (which Im WAY more happy with). I guess in 6 months, Ill add it back to my account and download all the new software.]]>Dec 4th 2008 1:13PMhttp://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/12/04/sprints-samsung-instinct-offers-corporate-calendar-access-like/http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/12/04/sprints-samsung-instinct-offers-corporate-calendar-access-like/
it now has two calendars effectively: one built into the email client and can only be synced with exchange and lotus; and one that is standalone in the phone but cannot be synced with anything at all. What a shit show....

how about all the ical and gcal users out there? i am to believe that there were more exchange and lotus users (who typically own blackberries) using an instinct for their day-to-day business than other (non-exchange/lotus) calendar users? This can't be, anyone who bought the instinct for actual business use returned it right away, while the rest of us regular folk who stayed patiently waiting with a promise of a better calendar are still SOL.

don't get me wrong though, this phone works great as a phone, camera, timer, alarm, web browser (no thanks to sprint, thanks to opera mini), and news / sport score / weather reader. mp3 player and sprint tv is still so bad its unusable. video player is good enough. overall i'm happy.]]>Dec 4th 2008 2:12PMhttp://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/12/04/sprints-samsung-instinct-offers-corporate-calendar-access-like/http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/12/04/sprints-samsung-instinct-offers-corporate-calendar-access-like/
All in all, I'm fairly impressed with how well this phone hangs together, particularly as a long time Windows Mobile user. Everything *works* - quickly and without weird dialogs, strange pauses and random crashes.

After a few days of using this phone, I already simply cannot contemplate going back to a Windows Mobile phone.]]>Dec 4th 2008 2:41PMhttp://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/12/04/sprints-samsung-instinct-offers-corporate-calendar-access-like/http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/12/04/sprints-samsung-instinct-offers-corporate-calendar-access-like/Dec 4th 2008 3:26PMhttp://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/12/04/sprints-samsung-instinct-offers-corporate-calendar-access-like/http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/12/04/sprints-samsung-instinct-offers-corporate-calendar-access-like/
