This reviewer has the Telus Bell version of Instinct, not the same thing as the Sprint Model.

I made a switch from the iPhone to the Instinct. Yes, the iPhone is cool, but I was getting way too many dropped calls and 3G was spotty. I ended having to use EDGE most of the time, which defeats the purpose of paying extra for the 3G service.

I like the call quality, volume and Rev. A access through Sprint. I’m using the “Simply Everything” plan which actually saves me $20 per month vs. AT&T. Definitely not an iPhone killer when it comes to functionality and third-party applications, but the Instinct is a much better phone for calling and 3G data access.

Ultimately phone call quality and 3G access were important for me and that’s what my decision was based on. Of course, it is up to each person to decide what’s important to them.

Email does support POP and IMAP accounts, I have 2 running on mine. Also, native texting and very nice keyboard.

“The video app is limited to 20 second clips.”

You can record for as long as you like, but you can only send people/e-mail videos that are 20 seconds or under.
