When I spoke to a rep in the store and on the phone they told me that the phone would cost about 249.00 to 300.00 range. Man there’s 4 of us here in our office hoping to get a hold on one. I hope I have better luck then the others.

Does anyone know or have any idea how much the Samsung/Sprint Instinct phone may cost? Basically, I’m hoping that the Instinct kicks the i-phone @$$. But I’m on top of this phone also, I can hardly wait for this phone to arrive June, 20 2008

There is not going to be a cap on this as far as I have heard, it will be on its own unlimited plan

I have heard that new plans are on the way that are to include SMS and Internet with a bundle of minutes so folks can use the Instinct or other phones without being forced to the $99 Unlimited plan. So I would just hold off on the speculating and just wait as things are truly turning around with this company! But a lot of things (i.e. investments or turn around plans) take time regardless if this is a tech firm or not. In addition, this phone will be a nice nice phone and packs a ton of features.

There always was a cap, Sprint just never published it. Now they’re being up-front about it.

Unlike other carriers, this is not a hard cap, you won’t get kicked off for going over once. Sprint sent along a few updates on the cap… we’ll have more news on it tonight.

If capping is for data cards great, why have a cap after 10+ years w/o one? When 4 of the 5 data plans for phones have all the capabilities that are needed to use the phone, so how does that necessitate plan change.

You are nuts

Sprint everything plan is unlimited everything, voice, text, web, nabigation, everything

att and verizon are just unlimited talk

and ALL carriers have limits on data.

and I use my pda alot and i would never come nowhere near 5gb

“Sprint is trying to consistently be 2nd or 3rd with thier plan and product releases”

forgive me for saying this, but i’d rather wait for a better phone and a better plan

“on top of that capping data”

i’m confused…our unlimited data plans are great because they are just that…unlimited

“forcing plan changes for phones”

there is only one phone where a plan change is necessary and that is the new instinct which hasn’t even launched yet…any information regarding how long the change will be necessary is simply guess work, as the wireless industry is always changing its mind on things

Im sorry but Sprint CEO Dan Hesse leaked out unlimited calling for 99.99 on purpose so verizon and ATT would come out with it, and than he undercut them with simply everything. He was last on purpose
