This has been by far the WORST phone I have ever owned. I bought this phone when it first came out. The very first NO NO about this phone is that you need to use software on your computer to access the exchange server. If the laptop that is running the software is off, you have no access to the exchange server. Also, I had to be connected to the intranet via Ethernet at my job for the exchange server software to work. If I connect wirelessly and VPN into my jobs intranet, I would still not have access to the exchange server. This was very poorly done.
Second, I had major issues with the touch screen. I would have to press the side of the button to press the button. This became VERY frustrating. Some buttons wouldn’t even press when I pressed them. Using the web browser on this thing was absolutely horrible because of this issue. You try to press an icon on the web browser, and nothing happens. You have to figure out where to press on the screen to activate the icon you are trying to press.
THIRD, this phone starts becoming possessed. The phone buttons were being pressed on its own. It got so bad to where I couldn’t make a phone call. I took it back to sprint and the guy couldn’t even swap phone numbers with the new phone because the phone was acting so crazy. After receiving a BRAND NEW REPLACEMENT, 6 weeks later, the replacement started doing the same possessed thing. This time, I didn’t let it get to bad before I replaced it. What killed me on the replacement was that fact they sent me a refurbished replacement for my third phone. I’m thinking, it can’t get any worse. I had this third replacement for a few days now. There are issues with this replacement. I cannot get full screen when viewing the web browser.
I called sprint and told them to cancel my contract. It would be nice if you could waive the cancellation fee. But I am so hating this phone that I’ll take a lost and pay the $200 cancellation fee to depart from this phone.
I would HIGHLY recommend not getting this phone. BY far horrible!!!! The Samsung Instinct takes touchscreen phones to the next level with a 3.1-inch touchscreen with haptic feedback, advanced features including Visual V. continue reading.
