phone is off while charging? wow, someone really put themself in the hole on this one. good job sprint and samsung. long live the touch

Yeah I have a year left on 1 of my lines and I wanted to go into the store and buy the phone for $450 and they told me in order to activate the Instinct I would have to change my family plan to the Everything share plan. So my bill would have jumped from $70 a month for 5 lines to $190 just for 1 new phone. I hate Apple and I hate ATT but this kind of stupidity from Sprint is going to be the reason why they'll never get out of the hole they're in.

I would almost recommend the Instinct to people who probably wouldn't be happy with the bugginess and complexity of WM, but the required $99 Everything plan is a killer. Looks nice though.

It does not need to be the 99.99 plan, It can be a 69.99 plan witch has 450 minutes daytime but unlimited everything else. I would imagine if they don't already Sprint will allow unlimited data plans to be attached to phones intended for family plan use.

Yeah but you are forced to get the unlimited data plan, with the lowest plan starting at $70 a month. That pretty much WIPES out any cost savings you think you'll get with the Instinct. Over the course of 2 years you'll probably end up paying around $950 more for an Instinct than a PDA phone with a SERO plan.

If the Instinct was offered on SERO, then it would be a good deal.

What flame? I was simply pointing out what Sprint was charging for data according to all their literature. I think it was one of the few phones that requires one of their Unlimited plans.

My guess is that Sprint probably won't be as strict with their plans than the iphone... simply because they can't afford to lose customers. It probably would be easier if you had additional phones too (family plan). I'd be curious to find out what kind of "deals" people were getting just on individual plans for the Instinct. So I'm not flaming... just trying to point out what it will really cost.

Like I said, if was available on SERO, then it would be a good deal.

You Guys are funny! I have the instinct as well the truth is we are all spoiled the windows mobile phones do so much anything else is uncivilized LOL

[stayfly24]

yea i have the instinct and touch as well, the reason the unlimited plans are required is because thats what you'll be using the most, they built the phone like that on purpose made for the "simply" plans, no matter what plans you choose for min, they all come with, unlimited text, unlimited GPS, unlimited data, email, tv, sprint radio, email, ect. so its deff worth it. I work for sprint and the word is as for the sero plans the instinct DOES work with them
