Samsung Instinct, which is also known as Samsung M-800, is Samsung’s best answer to Apple’s blockbuster iPhone that stormed the cellular phone market in 2007. The Instinct phone features a big 3.1-inch LCD touch screen, and three buttons on the front side, which are designed to ease users in navigating the menus. Like Apple iPhone, the Samsung Instinct also features a full internet browser that supports desktop-like internet browsing experience.

Other features of Samsung Instinct include a 2.0-megapixel digital camera, video player, video recorder, and a microSD memory expansion slot that supports up to 8GB of memory upgrade.

TO make custom ringtones u need an mp3 cutter software. when u cut your tone to size. u find a website for downloading files to your phone. it will turn them into ringtones when u download them.

YOu can go to www.myxer.com

I have had this phone for about 3 weeks now. I got it while waiting for Sprint to get the Blackberry Curve back in, but I think I will keep this one. I really like the GPS, TV (albeit limited) and the touch features. I find it so much easier to learn to use than previous phones. It has more features for the money than other smart phones and Sprint has really good family data/voice plans.

Ive had this phone for 3 weeks, I LOVE it.
My husband has the iphone, and the only difference he said he notices is that I cant download third party programs and he can.

I would agree with the majority that overall it is a great phone for the money. I am a bit suprised that it isnt provisioned to act as a phone/modem for my laptop to have internet access like my pocket pc 6800, and it doesnt have the audible note/voice recorder on it either. those are the two major things i am a bit disappointed about. i also havent figured out how to access the files on my strorage card like i could with my pocket pc 6800 through the "file explorer" option. Lastly, i would also like to know about any websites i go to for software downloads that are compatible with this phone. If anyone knows any please forward the info to mrbrucebrown@yahoo.com

Overall the phone is cool... Work fuctionality leaves a bit to be desired. I am use to being able to communicate via messenger without being connceted to the internet. The m.yahoo browser is cumbersome. Does anyone know when software will be available for use with the Instinct like with other phones...? inparticularly an easy use format like the blackberry...?

i just bought the instinct and cannot believe that it does not support corporate email (i.e. Oulook) and synco software for calendar and contacts. If this is the case this phone is completely useless.

Does anyone know if any of the above is possible???

I had to forward my corporate e-mail to a yahoo account and send the yahoo account to my instinct. Kind of awkward however it does do the trick.
