The first images of the forthcoming Samsung Instinct Mini or SPH-M810 have surfaced after our exclusive first details.
The new Instinct is meant to be positioned next to the current model with a more rounded bodyshell and identical featureset. The phone is expected to launch in mid-April and is to be marketed as the Instinct S30 according to internal documentation.
Any word on whether this phone will have QChat?
I dont understand the point of this phone. Is it replacing the original Instinct? If its the same features but slightly different body design, then its pretty useless.
So dumb.
Maybe this will be the real iPhone killer 😉
Would the real iPhone killer please stand up?
The instinct isn’t made to be an iphone killer. It’s not considered a smartphone. Its a cool phone with a neat design, but it lacks a lot of the smartphone features. The pre will be the first real threat to the iphone.
The chatter around is this will have ptt but if it’s DOr0 that would make Readylink not qchat
The Pre and the Touch Pro 2 are the iPhone killers. The instinct is nothing special.
this is identical to the Instinct. just a wee bit smaller and a rounded shell. no way does it have QChat.
this isn’t an iphone killer. it is a cheap touch screen candybar handset.
What’s up Sawlty Dog, it’s a misnomer to call anything an iphone killer, don’t discount the Android Instinct either.
I tend to agree with most of the posts. I mean really, whats the reasoning for this phone ? Someone, feel free to let us in ? I personally, cant wait for the Pre & the Touch Pro 2………………..
I suspect the Instinct M30 will eventually replace the original Instinct in the lineup. This is likely just a hardware bump, though I think everyone outside of Sprint was hopeful that the M30 would have improved things…
… Like allowed for native code (App Store), similar to its Korean brethren.
It would be backwards for it to replace the original with it missing DOrA?
Perhaps, but it wouldn’t be the first time. To the common consumer, EV-DO Rev A was not a selling point in the first place. If it lets Sprint bring the cost down, and 99.99% of consumers will never know… they’re going to do it.
I suspect Rev A will sit out for quite awhile, it will take something like video calling to become pervasive (QChat aside). And, again, in this economy, I suspect it’s going to continue to be a smartphone selling point only.
That’s why I was so excited about them adopting qchat because I saw that demo Qualcomm had when the original had it I was envisioning an Instinct w/a front facing cam and ptt
I’m not so sure that this is meant to replace anything. Remember that just last month the Instinct had a hardware refresh. This is meant to run along side the Instinct. Seems silly, but I guess there is probably a reason. I guess we’ll find out soon enough.
The instinct sucks, this phone is worthless just like sprint. perfect match i guess
It’s great to have an opinion
they showed on the internet that it has a full-keyboard.
I think it should a flash thats all it is really missing other then that its cool
