hi guys, little off topic but wanted some opinions on new phones. the new phone i am looking at is the samsung instinct. similar to iphone but without all the hassle's off a iphone. can anyone tell me what other phones ishould maybe look at. does anyone have experience with the instinct? reception and battery goodness kinda things. i was playing with one at a bell store last weekend. i am on a 3 year contract and but 2 years are done. 10 months tell 3 years is over. so i get $250 in sept towards another bell phone.

thanks guys

 

There are some rather mixed reviews for the Samsung Instinct on cnet:

Take a look at the Nokia N95 8GB and the soon to be released Sony Ericsson Xperia X1.The Nokia N95 available on the Rogers wireless network and the Xperia X1 will be offered once it is released in September.

thanks alot guys, i still like the phone, i think i will have another look at one tmrw! thanks.

 

i'm in the same boat not sure if I should buy the instinct or would you get the Blackberry 8830 (Have one just sitting at home)?

I don't really care for a data plan, ppl at Telus told me hands down blackberry over Instinct...All i need is really be able to surf the net when i'm bored and ocasionally check my work email.

 

i just want a kind of cool phone that gets good reception!

 

I have the N95 and it's a great phone for the price! Great camera, good memory capacity, good speakers, and good functionality.

 

thanks guys. i played with a iphone today and didn't think it was a outstanding phone, the samsung does basicly same stuff so i will probley go with it.
