I have had an instinct since day one and it has always been very fast. The problem with the device, is the browser. Currently, they are working on Opera Mobile for the device, but since Java can't be used currently it will need a patch from sprint. Also Noah, you should make a post about instinct games. There are dozens and dozens of free games actually made for the instinct. Everything from GH3, God of War, Assassins Creed, of course tons of puzzle games, poker, etc. Touch Screen Games: http://www.instinct-samsung.com/index.php/topic,945.0.html Instinct Specific Games: http://www.ringerpost.com/forums/rpost.pl?b-instgames/ [Note: You must make a forum account to access the page] As for the speed test, sadly I only get 3 bars in my house. I was in the high 280-290kb range on my tests. At the sprint store about a mile away, I had 6 bars and reached over 400 pretty consistently. Lastly, I love the site and all the work you do. Some of the best reviews on the web, even if you are such an iFreak. =D

I have been using the Opera Mini 3 workaround on the Instinct since the first week I got the phone, and I can say without a doubt the phone is very fast with a decent browswer. The default Instinct browser is horrible and slows things down tremendously, but full use of Opera Mini 4.1 (eventually) will make every Instinct owner love life. Now get cracking sprint!!

whoa..... the big screen on the iphone is great ..even though the brower is a lil slower than the other phone ... maybe its because the iphone shows the whole web page... and not part of it... the screen on the iphone is amazing :)

TAKE THAT SPRINT!! The iphone is clearly faster than the Instinct on the web!!!! Despite the slow 3G data network iphone wins! The iphone kills the Instinct on Wi-Fi! Oh wait the Instinct doesn't have Wi-Fi!
