Sprint today began shipping the Samsung Instinct, the carrier’s primary challenge to the iPhone 3G. The close cousin of the Europe-oriented F490 is now known to be launching with a number of the same features as the Apple device due three weeks later, including full 3G Internet access (here through Sprint’s EVDO Revision A network), true GPS navigation, and the last-minute addition of Exchange mail support despite using a non-smartphone operating system.
Emphasis mine.
No…this is not going to be a dog.
What the heck is a ‘non-smartphone operating system’ anyway? Where are those AndroidGuys anyway? Their site is down and I want to read their opinions!!! (or maybe it was so good, they’ve neglected their web service????)
C’mon guys….
We’re back up. Effin’ server was down for 6 hours. I’m working on my review now. It’s the best Samsung phone I’ve ever played with, but it’s not what I want or need. Let’s say that. I’ve owned 5 Samsung models and each gets better. On the other side, Sprint’s network is crazy fast with EV-DO Rev. A and I can’t wait to see 3G from Apple or other carriers.
The words ‘non smartphone’ send chills down my spine.
