j.t. is right  Smiley

Get yourself a screen protector.
I have the one from Boxwave.

If you need any answers to any questions in
regards to the Instinct Phone, you came to the right
place.

Just go to the search box and type in what you're
looking for.  Most likely you'll find your answer.

Great to have you here.  Have fun with the Phone.

Things I can think of right now:

-That backside battery cover will be a pain in the butt at first to open up for switching batteries. Use your palms mainly to pressure and slide it open...I suggest u research on the threads in this forum on this topic. It was pretty frustrating for me at first...but now, it slides off just like that.
-And definitely get a screen protector....i have the IS currently, but I think I will be getting the boxwave at some point.   
-The first time for the batteries, make sure you drain em ALL the way, and then charge em. Good for the batteries to drain them off all the way out.

Enjoy the phone...it is pretty awesome already, and has a lot of potential imo. :-)

I don't want to get into this again, but these are LiIon batteries, and don't need to be fully discharged the full time. In my experience, I have never seen a loss of life by not doing so. Even our manual says you don't have to.

And don't listen to Gix1k, use the phone, enjoy it. And make your own decision

Oh, i see...yeah dude, don't listen to Gix1k--he's probably a iphone fanboy.
This is one of the best phones you can get for the money, and don't forget sprints SE plans are actually pretty good prices, when you compare wit other providers.  I have the SE 450, (I am not a huge talker on the phone, so I don't use even my 450 talk minutes) which is 69.99 ( after tax, i pay about 76 here in MN); everything else is unlimited, and I have been going to town with my data usage :-)
The phone does have it's limititations, but it is an AWESOME phone....dink around w/ it and you'll find out
