Have had my Instinct for a month now. Overall, I like the phone. I miss some things my Mogul did but am enjoying the peace and rest of not having to deal with Mogul issues.

I can watch TV and youtube without any problems, love the visual voicemail, GPS rocks, live search is awesome - just tell the phone what you want, i.e. food, electronic store, etc. and the phone locates a lot of those businesses in the area (looked up Mexican food and had over 120 restaurants to choose from in the one area I was in!), you can then call the business, do driving directions, etc., like threaded text messages, bluetooth headset works much better, call volume is great, like the call screen layout, could do without the slider features, would rather just tap desired icon, battery life is waaaayyyy better than my Mogul. Ironically, I like Mogul's calendar detail and contact detail better so I am using it as a PDA only, no data or phone usage, and the battery lasts a week and a half now. Web browser is sad though, but Opera Mini is working on a version for the Instinct. I miss Opera Mini, used it on my Mogul all the time and loved it.

I love that this phone is so damn easy to use! No more Windows Mobile to deal with. Seems like ROM updates for the Mogul are always a pain in the a#@. I look forward to receiving some great 3rd party apps in the near future which will make this phone even better. Great phone for the money!
