I will say this: Sprint has the WORST customer service of any company I have dealt with, but this phone is hot. The coverage is great for my area and it pretty much beats the iPhone in all categories.

does it beat the iPhone?

i have sprint to, they know how to call a mf and bother you about being a great customer, but they cannot answer a damn thing about their service.

Sprint calls you? They never bug me, but maybe they just don't like me. I've never had any problems, so I've rarely had to call them. Plus, I was able to get a phone number I really wanted from them, so I think I'm sticking with them.

I love my current Samsung phone. That one posted looks pretty cool.

I'm buying one of the new iPhones the day they come out.

Well, it's 129.99 to start. Has 2GB on board, which you can add up to 8GB, so a $40 trip to ebay will fix you up.

It has 3G technology already and has live TV and an online music store.

Touch screen, voice activation, smaller, lighter, check out that website. There are side by side movies of Instinct vs iPhone.

i wish there was a t-mobile version!!!

there will be someday.

JasmineFire said:

there'd better be. the only ringtone options i have on my current cellphone are the theme from donkey kong and a MIDI version of "send her my love" by journey. i need some new technology!!!

Anxiety said:

The only ringtone options on my phone are "lalala" hulk hoagan screaming "pick up the phone" and a sorta sing-songy manner, and something else.

Silence is not an option.

am i going to have to change my plan/fee to service this phone

I don't have an iPhone, but I've used this Samsung device (it's been out in Europe for about 4 months now), and I have to disagree. It's god awful. Unresponsive touch, half-way house apps at beast, a mediocre web browser and piss-poor mail client, all on cheaper hardware.

iPhone killer my arse.

This is the only challenger to the iPhone:




smaller, thinner, lighter, double the resolution of the iPhone's screen, 3mp camera.

downside is bulky windows mobile.

available without a contract, too.

oh, and has 7.2mbps HSDPA downloads. Eat that, iPhone 3G.

If you don't have data, I don't see much use for it. But if you're on an everything plan, all the functions work.

I thought about getting this phone, but then I realized it was an upgraded Upstage. The biggest drawback for me is that the phone is not compatible for Windows Media Player.

The good thing is that Sprint has the Sprint Radio Premiere pack and you can listen to radio stations across the country with it. Just think, you can listen to Ryan Seacrest in the morning.....EVERY MORNING!

Now, that's a phone!

Boys and their toys

The F490 is similar to the Instinct, but the apps are different. Side by side with the iPhone, the e-mail interface is nearly identical.

I probably would have bought an iPhone if Apple hadn't gimped them to milk their faithful.

You guys across the pond always have better toys though.

it's not a phone.

well, it's not a curling iron.

I've been using my iPhone for 4 months now, I still like it!

i'm holding out for this:

Anxiety said:

That's cool. I love how everything sounded like an air raid alarm back then.

Nokia N95 8Gb kicks the i Phone in the nuts everytime for a real working phone! It's as a phone & it's got a way better camera!
iPhone is like a Harley or a Rolls Royce. Nothing special, just a Status Symbol 4 the Look @ Me crowd!

I have the Nokia N81 ..it kicks...it kicks me in the head everytime I use it ....I think we should ban all mobile phones ..except for texting

Anxiety said:

I love journey! I wish my phone could have decent ring tones

Ocean said:

U goose!

kcwm said:

i just want a ring tone like in the above posted clip

I worked as a supervisor for sprint right up until they laid off our centre a couple months ago. If you have any questions about their stuff you can ask me on here and i might be able to answer still. sweet phone by the way. i unfortunately didn't get to see it's launch.
