Work Support: Sprint Announces Corporate Email for DumbphonesYesterday Sprint announced business email access for non-PDA phones. Essentially this means that you can connect to your workplace email from a handful of non-smartphones, so long as your work runs Microsoft Exchange Server or IBM Lotus Notes. The new service debuted today on the Samsung Instinct (you've heard of that one, right?) and will be rolling out in the coming weeks on 11 more, including the Rumor by LG; Katana and Katana II by Sanyo; and the Motorola RAZR, RAZR 2 and KRZR. Could you tell I cribbed some of that paragraph from the press release? It's Friday - I'm feeling lazy. Basically this should add welcomed functionality for folks who don't really want or need a smartphone but have to keep tabs on that work account. So, you know, if you're the type who likes to spend Wednesday mornings at the beach with your KRZR instead of at the office with your Treo, this is for you. Actually, now that I think about it, this makes the Rumor a powerhouse of a cheap little handset so long as you don't need full Web access or mind the small display. The service will be included in Sprint's Everything plans, and also be available as a $9.99/mo add-on to other plans. Sprint also offers Mobile Email for non-workplace accounts, don't worry.

The "No Viewer" error is the Instinct's default error message for any unknown filetype trying to be used on the phone. The only "possible" way would be to wait for people to make software for the phone that can enable it to view such filetypes. Sunday, June 29, 2008i dont think you can view pdf's. i have successfully downloaded jpg's and transfered music from my itunes, but not pdf's. Although the instinct can do lots of things, it's not a "smart phone" and can't do many computer like things. Wednesday, June 25, 2008HELP!!! I have the Instinct and really love it.... BUT no one seems to know how and if I can view an attachment to an email, hotmail or work (outlook). i sent myself an email and when i select the attachment it says NO VIEWER save to card? then it saves it supposedly either on the SD card or the actual phone.

Better browsing: Samsung Instinct firmware upgrade addresses Web browserHas anyone out there upgraded their Samsung Instinct to the latest firmware rev.?

Instinct: Sprint Releases Individual Application UpdatesAt long last Sprint's given the go ahead to its vendors to unleash a slew of application updates upon Instinct owners. A post on Instinct Insight details the release process, and makes it clear that the actual app updates are coming from the third-party software makers and not directly from Sprint. Sprint basically opened up the floodgates here and its up to the vendors themselves to decide what to release, when, and how (or so says... Noah Answers Your Questions - T9 on the Instinct?Q. Noah, you have very informative videos and think that you are great at your job. I have a question about Sprint's Samsung Instinct. I am fairly efficient with a QWERTY keypad, but I am so much faster on a T9 layout. Is the Samsung Instinct capable of a T9 text entry?

Instinct vs iPhone: Noah talks gadgets on WBPM's Electric Morning ShowMy interview ran this morning on The Electric Morning Show on WBPM FM of Poughkeepsie, NY. I talked "Instinct vs iPhone," and generally about cell phones and gadgets with hosts Andre and Jack, and had a blast. They're good guys and, well, I love to talk (just ask my family), so it was great fun. Looking forward to doing it again ... and hopefully Gene Hackman was listening and is gonna give me a call any moment now. ...Instinct to support wifi?Well, this was a real setback when I was looking on a phone on the sprint network. I thought it would have wifi but later found out it doesn't. Is there any talk about it supporting wifi later on? And if they choose to do so, will it be a hardware update, or could they add wifi just by releasing new firmare? Also what are your experiences on sprints evdorev network? is it fast for internet browsing?... |
