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 make your own at www.phonezoo.com also. I use myxer and phonezoo....need to watch the volume though, if you set it at "loud" it over modulates on the instinct and sounds like crap.

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.

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

i can't believe that this instinct does not support corporate email. I need outlook and to sync contacts and calendar, but apprently the phone does not have this capability. it only has windows live.

Does anyone know how to do this???

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.

0 vote I can sinc my work e-mail

I was able to set up my work e-mail with no problem. Don't know what type of problem you are having.

0 vote No sync with instinct

Nope, the only way to sync your instinct to your Outlook (email only) is to be at your desktop/laptop computer, running the connection software on your desktop or laptop computer. So if you have to have your laptop/desktop on anyway, you might as well use it to check mail instead.

I liked the Instinct, but couldn't live without being able to get email AWAY from my desktop or laptop computers, and I needed to be able to sync my notes, too.

The Instinct is a fine phone, but it is not, nor does it claim to be, a smartphone or a PDA.

I took my Instinct back and got an HTC Mogul instead.

Guess I better change groups.

Does anyone know how to upload a program to the phone to place it as an application? Previously I had a program that was designed for a pocket pc or a palm, I was wondering if I could put the same program on my Instinct.

It has to be a java program and it has to have a jad and jar file. If it has those two files go to funformobile.com/ and make an account and upload and send the application o your phone.
