don't be retarded. you haven't used one yet.

I am so sick of people talking about that stupid iPhone. I know a few ppl that own the iPhone and Ive played around with it. I just don't really care for it because it doesn't feel like a real phone to me. I need an actual keybad!

good for you.

Yes - I see what you're saying. Having to re-tap the buttons to get the damn thing to work is something I have always wanted in a phone and finally, I get my way with the Instinct.

If its for Jog (of course I mean Sprint), they should have stop kidding themselves and called it Extinct.

yup so sad i don't know how they stand it

I know...

They never drop a call and have coverage where the Buffalo roam....

Thats why they put up with Verizon.

Now why do people put up with Sprint is the question.

"Why do people put up with Sprint?"

For the same reason why people buy a Kia instead of Honda or Toyota. They are a discount phone company ready to give away the house in hopes of keeping the ever-decreasing customer base that they have from leaving.

no more like first class data and soon to be REVA phones with qhat..but you wouldn't know anything about that! 🙂 plus streaming video with zero restrictions and the ability to download anything I want.

LL Cool Jake. Sounds like you have a lot of faith in Sprint. Why don't you invest your money in them and reap a huge return and dividends since you sound so confident that they will be a dominant force in the market?

Don't you want to be a millionaire? You can definitely be one if you invest your money in Sprint, the way you're talking about them and everything.

Have you ever used their data, DC, or even voice service they're second to none..yes they have taken a beating but that will all turn around. Actually I did buy a few hundred worth of stock. Their stock price the way it is couldn't possibly get any worse, and more than likely will go up significantly, and if it doesn't then it's not like I'm out allot of monies 🙂

Alright then. I appreciate how you put your money where your mouth is. It's respectable. I wish fanboys can do the same instead of just talking trash.

OMG 😳 please tell you you're joking. You just went off telling me how up to date you are reading this site and that site, now you ask this! 🤣

oops my bad...got you confused with the other guy. I will tell you...

anyways im back..the glyde is a joke and certainly there is nothing revolutionary about it...the Instinct Won Best in SHOW for a reason.

The glyde is nothing more than a different style voyager with a sub par web experience, same crappy ui, and restricted data, and verizon crippling and blocking of apps.

The Instinct will run on REVA, allow streaming, with countless multimedia apps...watch the video and learn something.

Can't wait for open access.

Love the network ... but you're right. I wish we had more customizable phone options.

open access? on Verizon? Free? 😳
't you even wonder at all how much extra Veriaon will charge for "open access" service?

Surely you know they will not just give it to you guys. They don't give anything away free.

I am afraid the Glyde will be a brick. But nobody will ever have better software than apple's iphone. They hold hundreds of patents and many under the fingerworks company. i.e. pinch.

If Samsung, LG or any other contender wanted to beat the powerhouses of Apple or Blackberry they really need to step it up.

It seems control of the product even after it is sold to the public is key. Apple and Blackberry have their end to end solutions on their devices. The Instinct is a nice phone but what does it offer that any other Sprint phone doesn't already have? I hope the $100 Million marketing pays off for Sprint and Samsung.

This is an iPhone clone that is exclusive to Sprint. You will not see this outside the US or Oversea, so it won't come near the volume of sales as a Blackberry or an iPhone have reached. To us.... it's just an LG Voyag...

Well so does the Curve, iPhone, and instinct basically.... so whats the point of the thread then... you get email, internet and a few other things... who cares

Those devices are different. The software that's provided on those devices are different (e.g. Explorer, Safari, Firefox, Windows Media Player, iTunes, WinAmp), let alone completely different OS on those devices. Hardware wise, they all probably have different processors and RAM. Hell, even their back end service are different (I want to see you use BES on the Instinct or iPhone).

Yes, you get email and all of those tasks on any of those devices. But how it's delivered, that's the thing. Now in regards to delivery, I...
(continues)

i get what you're sayin but i think your analogy is completely off... rather then trying to a mercedes bmw and an audi you need to think about one manufactur making the same car for 3 different companies... yes how the package is delivered is different but like you said... the end result is the same. I just don't understand people blasting a phone that gets them to the same place as another phone would

60dollarcarcharger said:

It can be valid if they blast the phone correctly. Look at a computer. At the end, all computers do the same. But what do you prefer ... AMD or Intel?

well... equal qualities of either are gonna just fine with me... just don't compare the worst amd to the best intel... that's where you're going wrong

I think comparing the Audi S4, Mercedes AMG, and the BMW M3 are all comparable to each other and fair.

Now for some people, that's fine ... in regards to equal qualities of either. Some people prefer other OS or means - each have their pros and cons and perhaps some people like these types of pros than the other types of pros.

For VZW ... i swear most of their phones have the same types of pros and cons. That's what I was talking about. No differentiating feature.

And the Voyager is a kludge.

I doubt it will be $45 data. Everything will probably be included with the VCast package like the Voyager. Verizon has been letting LG get more and more uncrippled. With the open access on the horizon, I would expect the crippling to lessen a great deal.

oh crap so it's a total pos... much worse than I thought 🤣 water down boring lackluster html like the voyager 🤣 you can't throw that out there to compete with the iphone and instinct..yup sounds like verizon 🤣

Yes, the 2g iPhone for AT&T which struggles for reception even in the best conditions will team up with Sprint's Instinct; Sprint, the company that just got a new CEO and continues to actually have a net loss of customers every quarter (as opposed to the other big 3 who gain). That really sounds like they have something on Verizon.

It's still a few months away as far as I know. You and I have no idea what capabilities it will have or if it's even going to be watered down. It's not going to have Get It Now on it, we know that much.

Seriously though, why are you trolling? What's the point?

Why do you even need Rev A on a phone? Some of the broadband cards don't even use Rev A, and they work fine.

yeah I need reva for qchat and fast as hell web surfing...that is like saying does tmobile need to get out of the dark ages and provide 3g to it's effing suffering ass customers!

You don't really need Rev A for that stuff. You just need a faster processor in the phone.

I never had any problems with them. Out of 4 years of service, I have no complaints.

but you still ran off to tmobile where there is no 3g 😕 wtf

I got a sweet deal through my girlfriend's work.

I never really used the 3G abilities with Verizon anyway. I'm a pretty basic user.

seriously man come on... we all know that verizon doesn't have the best network... especially when it comes to data.

The financial reports do all of the talking. If VZW is the evil empire and the worst company in the world, wouldn't they be worse than Sprint? Wouldn't they have a negative cashflow? Filing for chapter seven or eleven?

yet, AvgJoe does have a point ...

Not really. Some of the survivors of the Jim Jones cult have reported that the people were forced to drink the punch at gunpoint.

yay lets compare new, unreleased phones to one that has been out for awhile, cuz that makes sense 🙄

umm samsung glyde, the decoy, yeah they will compete with your precious instinct and iphone. also, who the heck wants a phone where you cant change or service the battery??

obviously more than 4 million people don't care about not being able to get the battery out.
