Noah Answers Your Questions - N95, Instinct, or enV2?
Q. hey first off I would like to say awesome reviews on youtube. Ive been looking at three phones to buy; Nokia N95, samsung instinct and the lg keybo(env2). I am looking for a good internet phone with an awesome mp3 player and easy to text. Do u have any suggestions?
A. Thanks for the kind words - glad you like the reviews! Since you said "Easy to text" I have to ask if you like to use T9 or full QWERTY to text. If you like full QWERTY, the LG is your only option. Otherwise, the Instinct does NOT have a T9 mode - you can only use the full touchscreen QWERTY board. So that could make a big difference - I'd say go to a Sprint store and try Instinct out in person. A lot people love it - I actually was a little disappointed by it, and I know it's had a lot of bugs and other problems since it came out.
Beyond that, I'd say N95 is the best overall phone - especially for Internet - but since it's unlocked and runs Symbian it might take some getting used to. Instinct has a better combination of mp3 player and Internet capabilities than the enV2. If you like to learn how a new gadget works and fiddle around with it, you can do WAY more with the n95 than the Instinct, but it's like learning to use a new computer (Mac instead of Windows, or something like that).
If you don't mind waiting, the HTC Touch Pro will be out on Sprint in a few months, and the BlackBerry Bold will be out on AT&T in a few months, as well. Both of those phones will have full QWERTY keyboards and should have really good Web browsers and mp3 players. Hope that helps.

Too bad there's no calendar synching, though. 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? I noticed in your YouTube video "Sprint Samsung Instinct vs LG Vu vs iPhone - Long Version " that when you entered the number to text (right past the 10:00 mark), the numbers had... Q. In your instinct vs iphone comparison you said with the Instinct you can download 'over the air' and the iphone you cannot. what does that mean and what does it mean to me in a practical sense? Also, what other limitations would this feature, or lack of the feature, cause?

Hi, I saw your comparisons of the LG Dare and Samsung Instinct and I had some more questions about the two. I have some specific questions for the two phones that I'd like some answers to 1. Which touchscreen is better? Which is more responsive? When you're typing which screen works better? I've heard ppl vouch for both sides so I'd like a good extensive opinion from an actual reviewer. 2. Which browser is better? Because I've... Q.

Sprit mentions on there site that you can see movies on the phone when side loaded in a Micro SD card and I was just wondering what the quality of this feature is and how does it work?
A. Thanks for the message. In one of my Instinct videos I showed a video that was loaded onto a microSD card and played back on the phone. It works great - if you have a good quality... Q. I am looking at new phones and my problem is this: Which do you rate higher, the Helio Ocean or the Sprint instinct? (I'm not switching to another GSM network for other reasons, so iPhone is o-u-t) (I know Sprint and Helio use SK, so calling should be the same, right?)
Also, are there any other phones you'd recommend on Sprint that may be better than the Ocean (I'll be using it mainly for multimedia, email, web, txt,...
