Well I got the first HD sold at my local BB.  No there was no balloon drop or banner or streamers. Grin  My wife and I both had razor phones.  So needless to say these our a first internet capable phones.  While I got the HD she wanted a keyboard so she went with the pre. 

So far I am impressed. Great camera with alot of cool  functions, and a takes great video also.  The flash is super bright.  I did not get the HDMI cable as I am not sure if I am keeping the phone, I really want the Hero but thought I would play with this til the 11th.

So far no issues, connected to WIFI super easy, texting is fine.  I am having some issues with hitting other letters than I want and also with sliding across the screen finger movements.  I am betting its my not use to a touchscreen phone, but will wait til see if I get better or it is the phone.

Really the only issue I am having is accessing my personal email account. I have comcast as an internet provider so I have a comcast email address.  I cannot figure out how to connect the two so I can access my email. If anyone can help with that it would be greatly appreciated.

If anyone has any questions I will try to answer to the best of my knowledge.

These are the steps i had to use to get my comcast account working on the Instinct M800.  I hope this helps.

•Add new email account
•Select More-> Other POP
•Email: yourname@comcast.net / Password: captainobvious (aka your mail password)
•Incoming Mail Server: mail.comcast.net / Port Address: 110 / Use SSL: Off / Account name: yourname (if your email addy is helpmyinstinctemail@comcast.net, your account name is helpmyinstinctemail)
•Outgoing mail server: smtp.comcast.net / Port Address: 587 / Use SSL: Off / Use SMTP Auth: On
•Please enter a name for this account: Comcast email

When you hit "Next" again, this will download the most recent 25 mails from your comcast inbox, telling you that it successfully logged into the incoming mail server. If not, then you prolly muffed something in the incoming settings (username or password are biggies). The outgoing smtp port MUST be 587 or you will never be able to send mail from your phone.

You have a speed test shown, which I am guessing was for the original instinct. What's your speed looking like now. Mine has increased significantly. I can watch You Tube videos without them stopping to buffer every few seconds.
