Sprint Uses Samsung's "Instinct™" to Offer More Broadband Service

If you have been thinking about buying the new Samsung Instinct™ EVDO handset that Sprint is now offering and you haven't bought it yet, you may have to wait awhile because they may not be available in your store.

These new phones became available in June and since then stores can't keep them on their shelves. These phones are so popular that the sales are continuing to be brisk and Sprint was able to break their own record for first week of sales.

Sprint noticed that a majority of their current customers upgraded to Instinct because they saw Instinct as another innovative and convenient way of using wireless. The only drawback is that many stores have to wait for the devices while Samsung and Sprint are working overtime to produce more inventory and get it out to their various sales outlets.

All plants are currently working at full capacity to fulfill consumer need. This clearly shows that people really want choices when they are buying a touchtone mobile phone, and that they see that Instinct has the best choices for their needs.

What do subscribers think?

Across the board people who are subscribing to Sprint think this is the best idea since sliced white bread. They are receiving accolades because they've taken all of the features that Sprint carries in other phones and put them into this one device.  It also gives people access to everything they need while they are traveling including music. Subscribers are also happy with the ease of use.

The top features people seem to be using the most include email access, web browsing, GPS navigation and directory assistance. However, Instinct also allows subscribers to share their pictures easily and quickly, watch live TV and listen to the radio without commercials. Quite a handy little gadget we must say.

If that weren't enough you can also get Visual Voicemail where you can listen to your messages easily and manage them by just tapping the screen. You also get many advanced features including stereo Bluetooth® 2.0, SMS voice and text messaging.

From all indications it seems that Sprint has outdone themselves by partnering with Sprint and that this is going to be a pleasant partnership. They have also reaped the rewards from Samsung's success with Instinct.

As examples, in the most recent Emerging Technology (E-Tech) Award competition, Instinct won Best in Show and then won Most Innovative Product at CTIA Wireless 2008. These two prestigious awards are getting Sprint and Samsung lots of press.
If you are wondering about price, it is comparable to other services and very affordable. You will pay $129.99 for Instinct with a two-year contract and you also get a $100 mail-in rebate.

It will be interesting to see whether this trend continues as they carry their ideas into the future. However, Sprint has always been associated with great products and it seems that they are only going to get better.
