If I try to upgrade, I’m offered the Instinct at $229. Does the additional $100 mail-in rebate follow for existing Sprint users?
I’d like to see more WinMo phones like the HTC Touch Diamond or Touch Diamond Pro.
EJ, the rebate should apply if you are upgrading or adding another line for existing customers.
Can we maybe see a review of this thing?
A full review is in-the-works, and should be up some time next week.
I dunno about WinMo phones RP. I’ve personally never had a WinMo phone but I’ve had some other WinMo products and the support as far as firmware/software updates and stability of the OS hasn’t been the greatest for me. I’m kinda partial to the proprietary OS’s. There are a few reviews out of this phone already. I got mine yesterday and so far, besides the browser needing improvement, I have no complaints.
The most unbias review I’ve ever seen about the Instinct in relation to the iPhone. http://www.phonedog.com/cell-phone-videos/video-sprint-samsung-instinct-vs-lg-vu-vs-iphone-long-version.aspx
