Instinct s30 still does not sync with gmail calendar or gmail contacts. These are things I need. If I had known that Instinct did not sync with google, I may have stayed with ATT.

I am going from flip phone (sprint) to Instinct. Maybe. What is the difference (better) between Instinct and Instinct s30? Thanks, Mary

Pros: Live Search, Navigation, Visual Voicemail, Stereo Bluetooth, Favorites Tab, Opera MiniCons: No Flash on Camera, Instinct Web BrowserSummary: I have had the phone for 9 months and I like it. Yes I know its not an iPhone killer but I wanted the best service for the best price which was Sprint. The features on the phone are great. The features I use the most are the stereo Bluetooth which I can play music on most of the day and not worry about battery. I usually kill my Bluetooth headset battery before the Instinct hits 70% battery. The other feature I really like is Live Search. This is the first phone I have owned with the Live Search feature and I love it. When you open up the application you can say or type in what you are looking for and it looks up all the information for you quickly. Example: I Live Search McDonalds...It pulls up the nearest McDonalds to my current location and displays the address and phone number to the location. If I push the phone number it calls the McDonalds. It also can open up the Navigation application and get me directions with one click. I can also get a map of the location or turn by turn directions. I can also share this information if I wanted. It saves time in searching for locations, getting directions or even looking up phone numbers. I have had family members ask me to look up places online and I use the phone because it is honestly faster to just say the name of the location and get all the information in a few seconds.
While I do love the phone I would be lying if I said the phone was perfect. The Instinct web browser sucks and you can read that anywhere on the internet...everyone agrees, but you can install Opera Mini and it does work a whole lot better. As for the camera...it is an ok camera. You need good lighting because there is no flash and a steady hand because sometimes the pictures blur.
Overall I like my phone and I just hate when people review it and say "Its not and iPhone" If you want an iPhone then buy an iPhone.
PS. the phone comes with a stylus but no place to put it on the phone, but I never used the stylus

Disappointing... hardly an 'internet phone'

By: D P on Monday, May 18, 2009 2.5 out of 5From: West Covina, CA (United States)
Experience: 7 Days
Pros: Horizontal texting, navigation, haptic feedback, streaming TV/musicCons: Near-worthless internet, no calendar sync, minimal apps developmentSummary: This is more of a messaging phone than a multimedia "iPhone killer" as it has been widely advertised in the "Instinct vs. iPhone" commercials. After 1 week of use with this phone, I gladly paid the $150 cancellation fee to get out of Sprint and defect to an iPhone. The navigation and haptic feedback are very nice. The internet capabilities are a joke - you are left with the mobile versions of websites, or it can't load them at all. This phone struggles on the internet - period. There is no app-store to speak of, aside from additional paid channels for streaming services. This phone is no 'iPhone killer' - it shouldn't even be compared with the iPhone, and it was suicide on Sprint's part to advertise it as such. I hear the new version of the Instinct will include a better Opera browser and sync-able calendar.. nothing to make me go back to Sprint anytime soon...

Pros: I love this phone! It has very good response. You can adjust the sensitivity for the screen and calibrate it. Texting and typing is sooo fast. Really good conection. When my friends dont get service, i get it crystal clear. Sprint has the best and cheepest plans. I haven't had a single dropped call and i had this phone for about 7 months. It has several neat options that you can toggle on or off. This phone is very durable. It fell out of my poket millions of times and it doesn't have a scratchCons: The camera could have been a little better with maybe 3 instead of 2 mega pixels. It will rarely lag or freeze a little bit. Since it is a fairly new phone and design, some games or apps are not compatible but there is still a large selection. Summary: Very fast and durable. A very customizable phone but they should make more accesories for it. Plans are the best and cheepest. Still pretty much the best phone out. It is very competitvely priced. Recomend this to almost anyone!
