Samsung Instinct HD pops up on Best Buy's website with 5 megapixel camera, TV ou

As it turns out, Instinct HD really was the final name that Samsung decided for its Sprint-bound S50 / m850 Dash, at least as far as Best Buy is concerned. The "Weekly Ad Specials" listing confirms that the smartphone really does handle HD video, both recording and playback, with a 5 megapixel camera and a TV out connection for sharing. It's also got visual voicemail, WiFi, and corporate calendar (likely Exchange and Lotus Domino) support. No price listed, but whatever it is will be effective from today through September 26th, so using our great powers of logic and deduction, we're gonna predict it'll hit stores sometime within the next month -- bold assumption, we know. Don't let us down, Sammy.

Its not...Its a dumb phone with the answers to the test in front of it.

glass capacitive touchscreen.  and although YOU don't like the UI/OS, many do.  is it an iPhone, nope...does it do everything the normal person needs, YES.  "a couple of added things", no its a major upgrade and in only a year's time.  what did apple spit out a year after the iPhone released?  a plastic look a like with              gps capabilities.  1 year and all they added was gps and can handle 3g speeds.  samsung on the other hand, 1 year and they have completely revamped the phone.

seriously, why are there so many doggers on the instinct website.  the phone isn't the best in the world, but most everyone here paid ~$100 some $75 some less, go get a comparable phone for the same price...you can't.  and atleast our phones don't just fall to pieces during use.

I agree with the price thing of what you just said. a Major Upgrade/Revamp? Heck no. They took the SAME UI rearranged where to find things, made most of the menus transparent, added slide to unlock, 3 more MPs in the cam, "HD" recording, and thats about it. The only "Revamping" of this phone is adding HD recording. a 5 MP camera is nothing. The added things to the UI is NOT revamping this phone. All it does is enhance our old one. AS much as the new look of the phone is its just going to be another repeat of our instinct. Updates taking forever to get to us. BUT who knows. IF you dont want apps and dont care about updates ASA there is a problem found then get that phone.

You know, considering the UI pretty similar to the current Instincts, do you think some of the new features (like corporate calender support) will be included in the next update for our phones?

the HD capabilities sound great to me! would be nice if the camera had a flash too

If i recall correctly the "my stuff" colomn is for downloaded content i just cant remember exactly what. and that would be alot of searching to go back to world 1-1 post to find out maybe he will come along and enlighten us.*prays a little*
