Samsung Instinct M800

I know this has been mentioned before, but how could Sprint/Samsung release a phone like this in 2008 and not give it the ability to sync with Outlook?

There is no excuse or no reason for this omission!!!!

I don't care what Sprint/Samsung say about this not being a phone for business users...that it is for "consumers". Why not have a bigger vision (such as Apple) and make it for ALL MARKET SEGMENTS of the cell phone industry?

DUMB DUMB DUMB!!!!!!

The review of the Instinct is obviously bias. I can say that I have used this phone myself and it is not near perfect. I do not believe any phones is. Not even the "amazing" Iphone. The web browser I admit is terrible. Sprint tried you have to give them a little credit. The rest of the phone is an obvious winner in my book. I will admit that this phone and the buzz around it does not compare to that generated by iphone 3g. Sprint is once again demonstrating how terrible their marketing is. They have adds here and there but they need to step it up a notch. They really have something here with this phone. I am sometimes amazed how a company with one of the best data and voice networks manages to do so terrible. Sprint and Dan will hopefully t...

I viewed the youtube video three times now. Here are my notes:

Times when the touch screen didn't respond as expected:

1. Speakerphone while in call.

2. Done key after call

3. Eye logo that brings up the right side menu in web

4. While trying to tap "Alaska" in music player.

out of the 8+ minute video, you missed four key presses. *note that I didn't say "the phone failed to register 4 key presses."

In the instance in situation 1, If you had peered into the included user manual, you would have noticed that to activate the speakerphone, you would slide the speaker icon to the left over the word "on." Attribute to user error (not saying that this wouldn't be a common mistake, but it is in the user guide.)

In situation 2...

😢 😢 😢 👀 👀 👀 Everyone seems to be upset since this phone came from Sprint if any other provider released this phone you wouldn't hear the fan boys whining. I think Sprint got it this time Simply Everything plans speak for themselves. Dan is known for being creative look how he turned AT&T around years ago. JUST WAIT AND SEE WHAT DAN THROWS AT THE MARKET IN THE NEXT FEW MONTHS LOOK OUT!!! 👀 👀 👀 🤨 🤨 🤨 😲 😲 😲

Now that's a real review. Phonescoop you have a bad unit get it together.

is there a way to get instant messaging on this phone? i like this phone but im also looking at the palm centro which does have instant messaging...any thoughts?

There are 1200+ people who have been using this phone as a training device for the past couple weeks, and I'm sure all 1200+ would disagree with some things in the review. If you haven't used it yet, then you do not have any personal experience, and your comments are now speculation, probably laced with bias, and have no merit.
As for the reviewer, I can not state it enough until they change the review:

Learn how to use the device before you bash it for your own misgivings.

I've proved, beyond a shadow of a doubt that the reviewer was unable to perform certain actions because he has bad aim or wasn't doing what the software was designed to do. Because of this, he has given the phone a bad review. This is an injustice. If they want t...

How does the Instinct compare to the IPod Touch or IPhone when it comes to the quality of pictures downloaded from a PC. I'm not talking about pictures taken from the Instinct's camera.

Is IMAP4 supported by the email client app of the Instinct? Can it sync with MS Outlook contact and calendar?
Thanks in advance.
