I'm thinking of upgrading, I've got some questions.

Yup I got mine Sunday.

how much does the data package cost a month? Is text messaging part of it (or is it seperate)? Can it handle websites like Beckett, youtube and ones that use flashplayer?

[jmc280zx]

The package I got is 450 minutes and unlimited text/data. The data includes Email/internet/ talking GPS/ TV/ and Sprint radio. You get 30 free channels of "TV" there mainly just clips but there are a few that are live TV. all for $69.99.

I have logged on to Beckett and played a video off of youtube. There have been some videos that it has said I need to download a flash driver. So you can play some videos and some you cant.

if you want a phone for business, you need a blackberry hands down.
i've never used the instinct, but i guess it's like an iphone. great for fun, the battery is probably not great.
blackberry's are the best phone out there, not as fun, but go for that

I'm on a family shared plan for minutes. I play a game called ikariam.org that I'd love to be able to play from my phone. Can you download the flash player upgrades?

As for Blackberry's Sprint kills you on them and they don't have them in stock.

I just picked mine up today, and it is a boatload of fun. Its like a Ipod and Itouch in one with more features. I upgraded from the Palm Centro, hated that piece of junk and was glad to get rid of that thing.

I have the same package as the above poster, only thing that suck is I could not be on the "Family Plan" with the two other phones we use. It still comes all on the same bill though.

no family plan kills me getting it. Oh well I guess I'm not supposed to get a new phone.

Well the site comes up but I am not registered so I cant try to play it.

It comes with 2 batteries and a charger for the second one so far they seem to have a decent life.

z,

I had the instinct for a week and returned it, for me 130 for the family plan sucked for two of us. The phone itself is nice but you cant see the screen in daylight and the internet is super slow that I did not even bother getting on the net after a few days. I killed that phone number and signed up for the sprint sero plan. I got two seperate lines for me and my girlfriend we each get 500 minutes a month unlimited text messaging and unlimited internet for $30 bucks each a month. FYI I got the Treo 755P and love it, I personally love Treo phones as that is all I have had for about the last 5 years

In the end, paying 70 extra a month just to have the phone was not worth it for me. But if you do like the phone that much, Sprint does offer share plans that are called Talk/Message/Data share plans with 1500 minutes and everything else unlimited for 130 a month for 2 people, and each addittional line is like 20 bucks.

Also if you are interested in the Sprint Sero plan that I have as it is the best deal in the business IMO, just shoot me an IM on AIM and I will guide you on how to do it
