Just days before the official launch of the Instinct, Sprint decided to slash its price from $199 to $129. No reason was given for this price drop, but we could somehow suspect that it has something to do with Apple's new 3G iPhone, which has a starting price of $199. Don't you just love competition?
Let's recap the features of the Samsung Instinct: a 2.0 megapixel camera with camcorder, Visual Voicemail, POP3 email, microSD card slot (up to 8GB) and 2GB microSD card in the box, Bluetooth 2.0 and a full HTML browser.
So if you're planning on an Instinct, go grab it this Friday for $129.99 with a new 2 year contract after a $100 mail-in rebate.
So you prefer email, huh? Enter your address below to get started.
And yes, we hate spam too.

you know i'm getting this one! thank you sprint!
What's the catch? Does anybody have info about how much the plan will cost?
Sprint actually has different options on plans. but the cheapest one is 69.99 a month which is for unlimited text/data and 450 anytime mins
What is the price without the 2 yr contract?
@manny - It's about $450.
can someone please explain the differences between the new apple iphone coming out on jul 11 and the sprint instinct phone
thanks
Although the Samsung Instinct is a hot phone... Like the Iphone the drop price to lure everyone in is obviously a trap.. If I bought the Instinct for example, I will pay about $130, not to mention the monthly cost of $70... Make it close to $80 with tax.. Now, if I finish my two years contract, I'll be paying almost $2,000 on phone bills.. Isn't that insane!!!
I don't care much about the phone's prices since the monthly bills is a ripoff!! Why pay a few hundred dollars lesser on a one time phone cost, but pay a thousand dollars more on the two year contract? Not to mention only $450 minutes!!! RIP-OFFF!!!!!
Stop Hating! You ain't getting a cheaper plan all cell phone comp. have to get paid. And they are goin to take it from you one way or another. my brother has the I phone and he pays about $60 a month.
can any one know, in UAE from where I can purchase it and how much price.
lol, ahhahahhaha OMG, really? This is so bunk. It's such a copy of the iphone it's sad. But the biggest problem is that only the shell looks the same. The sprint phone just doesn't have the software to back it up. the iPhone runs OSX.
dis phone looks gud but i want it wit Verizon contract
the phone looks 10 times better than iphone functioning cant be much crapier .. so i must get one =)
compare this to the LG Vu.
Yeah, Yeah, Yeah, everyone is coming out with a touch screen phone, but remember, there is a HUGE difference between a touch screen and Apple's Multi-touch screen.
What I don't get is with this new abundance of touch screen phones coming...why do they all have to LOOK like an iPhone? It isn't required to be black with a chrome edge to be a touch phone.
This phone is so much better than the iphone- I just got it and its so much faster. go to sprint.com and watch the difference between iphone and this. this phone even offers certain things that the iphone just can't.
they would copy the design of an iphone iphone is better all the way go AT&T
Hey, guys. Just picked the phone up yesterday from bestbuy for 129.99 with a 2 year contract. It's a hot phone. Love it. Have a family plan where all my 5 phones can get the Talk/Message/Data Share with 1500 anytime minutes for $129.99. Great phone.
I am getting this phone today!
Some people can afford $70 a month and $130 on a new phone...
Sucks for you if you cant.
samsung sucks!!!!!!!!
Its rediculously stupid to get the instinct...sure its a great phone but are you really going to let them own you like that? DUMB
Research indicates that instinct is a better phone
i just wantto know why your all so fucking retarted!!!!! Um... hello. If you can afford the $70.00 a month just save up for like 4 months and then buy it. They are ripping you off!! I'm buying it for $499.00 or watever it is. All well, it's your loss!
how much is it outright??
with out going on a plan!!
wat date does it come outright??
i don't care what you guys say i think that the instinct is a great phone and i think it's better than the i phone so i'ma get it. the instinct as way more things than the iphone. people who get the iphone can't pay a sprint bill that the only reason why they don't like the instinct. if you could pay the bill that sprint gives you, you wouldn't have a problem buying the instinct. so there haterrrs!!!!!!!!!!!
Obviously sprint customers are broke thats why your with a third excuse me 4th rate service provider my bill for iPhone is $99 a month
because I can afford to have more bars in more places the iPhone is for grown people save all the cute lil extras for the kiddos thanks AT&T
yeah I agree sounds like ant got it right a man after my own heart if you gotta ask then you probably can't afford it the iPhone Is a big boi
phone I've been with sprint there service stinks when I got my iPhone I was happy if you can afford $99-150 a month. I hear what people are saying about the instinct I personally dont even use the features on my iPhone that much but I'm glad I have them believe me sprint will never compete with AT&T or Verizon so deal with It loosers!!!
Is this phone even out yet?
After reading everyone else's comments about the iphone
and the Instinct, I think each phone has its pros and cons and it just depends on what features are more important for each individual. I would like to own both
and the decide which is really better. I think, though that the Instinct has more features.
im going to get it so i dont care what none ya retards say its our money so mind yo own biz punks,if u got som to say make shure u get a hold of me dont punk out
I bought the Instinct and I know it is a really great
phone. Love the features esp. the GPS...and a lot more..
and fast. It is also user-friendly!!!
I have ordered the iphone before I got the Instinct....
I think I will stay with my INSTINCT.:)
