Samsung - Instinct Cell Phone —
At first the Samsung Instinct by Sprint seemed like a great and more economical option to the IPhone and for the first 4 months or so it was. But a year into my service I am somewhat frustrated by its lack of applications and inability to quickly solve continual issues for basic programs such as voicemail. Here are a few of the biggest challenges I have had with day to day use. 1) If your face gets too close to the phone you will continually mute yourself and your friends will think you hung up on them. 2) If you don't delete your voicemails as soon as you get them or try to keep any saved, when you do try to delete them your phone will freeze and need to be "hard" booted back up. (ie, hold the button down and sometimes take the battery out) 3)While the phone does come with an extra battery that you can recharge which I LOVE-LOVE, the battery life after 2 months was down to about 2 hours of phone use or 2.5 batteries per day. 4)You will be continually bugged to update for "critical" fixes, which appear to only add Advertisements to all of your aps. Everything is not bad on the phone especially not for the price, but if you are someone that will want to use everything it has to offer and will spend the money like I do to have have access to all of the extra services and unlimited data to use all of the aps, I would suggest springing for a more expensive phone and thinking of it as an investment. I was an ATT customer for 9 years and paid a hefty penalty to get out of contract to get this phone because I thought it was the smart buy and now realize that was probably not the smartest move. Shop Smart!
