You can go there for some information on it. I recently obtained this wonderful piece of machinery, and WOW.

I think it is almost a mimic of the Iphone, but with a little more mph!

Its touchscreen is more accurate, its user-friendliness is incredible, and it does everything.

I first got it, and began to fidgit with it. Within minutes I could text, browse the internet, search for my favorite pizza place, and pretty much do everything else. In my opinion, it has alot of "power in simplicity". When in sleep mode (which will occur automatically or with the push-of-a-button) if the phone gets a call a cool screen with the number, and (if there is a picture) picture pops up. If you drag th person up on your phone you answer, but down, and you ignore them.

The dialers keys are big aswell, so if you have big fingers its quite easy, not to mention the touch screen is quick, highly accurate, and if need be (I havent had to for the 2 weeks I have had the phone) you can easily recalibrate your Istinct.

Without any voice recognition training I was easily able to use this voice recognition the first time no problem, and if it doesn't work, your options for calling (that were closest to what it thinks you said) are right there on your screen

Also, on a side note, it fits your face AMAZINGLY!

I have found two downsides to this phone. The first, although the phone comes with a stylus, it has a serious design flaw, there is no where on the phone to put! As a solution, there is a case where you can store the stylus, but this also means that you have to have the case with you if you want to use your phone with a stylus.

Secondly, if you are trying to get to a contact instead of an easy search function, you have to scroll through the names, this can take a little while, especially if you are on the road.

To end on a good note, the voicemail is extremely easy to set up, and the coolest part about it, is that when somone sends you a voicemail, the phone will actually put it up as words for you on your screen so you dont have to listen to it. The way voicemail is set-up on this phone is like a text, you can look through, and delete the ones you dont wanna hear, and listen to the ones you do, all on a push basis, no pressing 5 or 2, or whatever to listen through your voicemail.

These are just a few of the many awesome things that come along with this phone, PM me if you have any questions.

You should try them first before making assumptions.

I appreciate the review, I just see the instinct as another failed Iphone knock off. But if you have sprint go for it. I think that the Iphone set the bar up there and no other phone has been able to match its abilities and functionality. Simply because they aren't taking their time. The Iphone was in development for multiple years, while the other 3g phones were realeased in a rush to get their foot in the door that is next gen phones.

Well, it has all the same features, thats why I'm trying to tell you, the bar is no higher on the iphone, just because this phone has the same (or more) features, and a different setup.
