Not fair!!

I have had my sprint touch since the day it came out in Nov/07. Im mad because it seem as if sprint has forgotten about the people that has purchased it. They keep saying that GPS is coming and updates to the phone. But noe that the instint is out all efforts are going to it. The sad part is that there are not doing ANYTHING for people that are already customers to help them get one without paying 500.00 or adding another loine to there account. I love my touch but I feel that they need to upgrade the firmwearso we can have some of the features of there so called Iphone killer.

Hey if you're looking to get an instinct you might check best buy I'm and existing customer with a 2 year upgrade discount and picked up the instinct for 129.99. So far i love it coming from the touch(still have it gave it to my mom) it's a bit of an adjustment because when i finished hacking the touch i had it working pretty good but the instinct does all the things i was looking for without hacking it(gps, music, email) it's got some bugs but the fact that it can be updated wirelessly is a plus all in all if you're not quite happy with the touch or don't feel like re-installing all your software everytime an update eventually makes it's way to the public(i have installed the latest update with gps) then you'll love the instinct.

Re: Not fair!!

Good luck syncing the Instinct with Outlook. Apparently the device requires that you sync your Outlook to Sprint servers and then to your Instinct. We just had 2 customers come in the other day complaining endlessly about the device and they walked out with 2 new xv6900s.

I upgraded to the new ROM and I am loving it so far. Only issue I have with it is the Vista Cube 2.0 on this site does not want to work well with it, and won't uninstall, but I don't use the cube that often anyways so it's no biggie to me.

Re: Not fair!!

I think I just threw up in my mouth a little.....

I'm sorry, but the instinct is little more than a regular phone with a touch interface. Windows Mobile provides so much more oppurtunity for customization than the Instinct does. Just as an example, listening to Sirius Radio. Or the different GPS apps to chose from. Or the kitchens....

I dunno...to each his own I guess. For me personally, I prefer the touch to some proprietary interface that Sprint has complete control over.

And the BEST reason to hate the instinct is.......is taking Sprint's focus and attention away from the REALLY important stuff....like GETTING US THE DIAMOND!
