Everyone needs to chill out! Take a deep breath...inhale....exhale...relax.

Any more childish behavior and I'll close this down.

Thanks for your understanding and be sure to floss daily.

late,
Coz

Agreed with all Sleek looking but no wifi no WM6.x and no key board so no customazations (can i spell) which means no sling media adds and no hack jobs.
Those Verizon people are lucky they get the same phone at years end but with the keyboard

I think the samsung instinct is a good "CELL" phone but the 6800 is a good "PPC". I dont think I'll ever go back to a cell phone.

It seems to me that alot of people are just hating on this phone for 2 reasons.
1) They hate Samsung
2) They think PPC/WM is the only way to go.
I think if you just need corp e-mail, you want SMS/MMS and be able to send video, GPS, Rev. A, Internet (btw, you aren't really looking at the webpage when you are typing in a new url), 2 batteries, 2gb mem card, cradle, and a sleek good looking phone under $300, this is your choice.
I can't believe that there are alot of people sticking up for the Mogul with the Fourms loaded with "How can I fix the Mogul with extra apps and hacks" post.
Let's wait until the O/S is out of beta and see what it can do before we bash the crap out of it. It looks to be a good PHONE to me.

dear randy watson

people are hating this phone because it's sprint's lame attempt to 'cash in' on the iphone's success. and when you judge the phone on THAT merit and see the phone for what it is -- a ploy -- that's what people are hating.

like the fake wii's they sell at kb toystores for like $20... it's just a crap imitation and that's what we're upset about... This will officially be the most marketed and promoted device Sprint has ever had to date... and to me that's just not right.

so the decision comes down to A) buy a iphone knock-off for $400 or B) buy a ppc WM6 Mogul with the Fourms loaded with "How can I fix the Mogul with extra apps and hacks" posts for $400 - $500 lol...

That's a tough decision. I guess I'll have to have both so I won't be so frustrated. LOL

BTW....That boy good! He can sing!

First I want to stand up for Samsung.

Remember the Razr hype? Samsung's answer.. the A900. I LOVED that phone. It was ten times the razr.

Yes i know blah blah people should innovate and not copy. But sometimes its better to improve upon an already existing concept. Here, its the all touch interface.

For custom apps, its java based and can run just about anything. While it might be limited to apps in the sprint store, im sure there will be hacks to allow 3rd party java apps to run. And being the the UI is java based, it wont be a project to run java apps like it is on a ppc.

This is going to be a SOLID phone. i-Phone killer? Probably not. Meant to cash in on i-Phone fad? Probably a little. But still it will be a solid and usefull phone.

And like many people have said, we should let the phone come out before making too many speculations and judgments.

This is not a smartphone. all specs are on sprint.com. the Instinct will be a media phone with touch screen capabilities. No more. EVDO rev. 0 Broadband Network with phone as modem capabilties. No doubt it will be the biggest hit since the red razr for sprint this summer. A definit step up from a poor attempt of a media phone the Upstage. same demensions as Iphone.

I love my mogul but this BB8830 def. kicks some trash. cant wait for the BB Curve 8330!

What are you talking about? The specs say that this phone "WILL" be able to be used as phone as a modem and it will have Rev. A.

Stop hating. I have the Mogul and I love it, but this phone hasn't come out yet and people want to talk about how buggy it is on "BETA" software. Just chill.
