Actually...Instinct is NOTHING like the Glyde

Completely different. Glyde is a phone with some cool features. Instinct is a smartphone with a brand new OS jointly created by Samsung and Sprint.

Seriously? Since when did Sprint and Samsung know how to create a robust mobile OS?

I honestly think this is the first time they've taken on a project like that.

Full HTML web browser, E-mail sync, Sprint TV, Navigation, Touch Flo Technology. The only similarity between the Instinct and the Glyde is Samsung. Other than that it's 100% different. Samsung and Sprint put the Instinct under the Smartphone category. It's a custom OS never before used.

Yes. It does. Also if you turn the phone sideways it automatically switches to landscape view.

And tilting the phone up, down, left or right allows you to scroll and navigate a page you are viewing.

Because I just got back from the Sprint store and tried it out. Wow, it's very much like the iPhone but better. You can actually remove the battery. It comes with a 2nd battery. It comes with a 2 GB card!!! The touch flo is amazing. The internet is fast as can be with FULL HTML webpages. The TV is crystal clear. Navigation is great and maps are extremely detailed.

Really? Tried it out at a Sprint store? That's pretty amazing seeing as NO CORPORATE SPRINT STORE is supposed to have them on the floor let alone one to play with until the national launch. Sounds like someone wants to lose their job.

eekkkkk, not a "Smart Phone" Or PDA. You can't sync your calendar and though it has some killer sync features and consumer/work email.... its not a PDA. It's more for all the other fun stuff.
