Awful Phone!

by Jennifer on Nov 10th, 2008 at 1:09 PM:

My husband and I each got an instinct and they are awful! They constantly freeze and say out of range and the video is awful. I should have gotten a blackberry, but I was told this was way better, they were wrong.

I thought it would...

I thought it would be a cool phone to have for work. I have held off on getting any kind of smart phone and the 3G would have been my other choice but I did not want to switch back to AT&T again. I have been using the phone for over a month. 50% of it is great and 50% of it sucks. The parts that are great is the way that I can get a text message while on the phone and reply to it while on the phone. That helps my productivty greatly. The TV functions suck the worse. I have tried and tried to watch any video from this phone and it will not play or it gets so choppy that it's not worth the work or effort to try. That is the biggest dissappointment with this phone. The internet browser is a loss as well.

Tightest phone ever minus internet

NOT A SMART PHONE

I was so excited to get this phone and went through a lot to get it. The way it was raved about, and advertised, it was thought to have been a smart phone. When I went to a Sprint location they told me it WAS a smart phone.

I had a Treo 755, and coming from that to a an Instinct was a great disappointment. I hope Sprint will get it together soon, as they have already been rated most disliked cellular provider. This phone provides some pros like the visual voice mail, and the great camera, but it is limited and the calls are not the most clear. Really do your research before you purchase one.

Cool phone but limited settings menu.

I really like this phone. But i did have a problem with the settings menu. There are no settings to only show an icon or sound only unless your phone is locked. So if someone is using your phone and you get a text part of your message shows. There are no separate volume setting for voice mail or text. They all use the ringer volume. I also think it should have a t9 option for texting on the dialer screen. The phone is not that easy to use for that stuff. Other than that, this phone is fast. I can check my email with a few clicks. And it is cool looking. We all know the other nice things it does. Plenty reviews on that.
