Samsung Instinct M800
Early adopters, please post review
Its ok. The screen and user interface is definitely not as good as the iphones. Also, the fact that most of the screen is taken up by the buttons makes the viewable portion very small looking. This especially sucks when you are watching tv. Speaking of TV, it was not smooth streaming at all. It was either frozen or extremely choppy, at times even completely blank (but with sound). I just came back from the sprint store after playing with it, and decided not to buy it until i get to compare it against the iphone first. The major PLUS is the 129.99 price tag.

Does it sound fake simply because you dont agree with it? Of course Im going to compare it to the iphone you idiot. Sprint is marketing it as an iphone killer!!! Think before you reply please.... 🙄

Well, I went and bought the phone this morning and I love it. So what if the buttons take up most of the screen when typing. You still have a view of what you're typing in the text screen above whether its in landscape or portrait mode. But that is the same case with the iPhone.

i didnt say it took up the whole screen when typing. I said it takes up too much space with buttons when the tv is on, or browsing the net. iphone youtube videos take up the whole screen and looks much better that way. As for the choppy tv service and error internet messeges, well, that could just be more frequent on launch day. Maybe that will improve really soon. overall, very pleasant looking phone. I wouldnt say im blown away or anything though......

yeah, I'm not blown away either and nor did the iPhone when it came out because my clamshell phone could do more than the iPhone when it cam out but it is a cool phone. And the store demo phones were having issues with the video. I was playing with the store model before they activated mine and the video was lagging. And I do wish the TV screen was bigger too but if I really wanna see a big screen I'll just get on my MacBook...
