Rumored: Sprint to Launch Instinct Software Update

Is it me or there’s something fishy in Denmark? I mean in the USA with the Samsung Instinct from Sprint. Is everything ok with the Instinct? Or is Sprint making their bestest everest with this phone? Monday, June 30th they are supposed to launch an Instinct software update. Already? After two weeks of service?

According to a Samsung Instict forum poster the update will rollout on Monday:

I apologize for your disappointment regarding some of the software. We will have a software upgrade available 6/30/08. You can request a software update on your phone on that date. Press the home icon and tap main. Tap settings, then tap general, scroll down and tap update software.

This sound rather bad than good. I mean what could possibly go wrong to make them hurry in an upgrade. What did they forget to install?

Any Sprint Instinct subscribers out there? Let us know what’s going to happen with that “upgrade”

the only problem i find with the phone is the 3 way calling or answering another call while on the phone. You have to hang up with both parties to hang up on just one. Even if one of the people hang up. It still shows that the person is there and the phone will act like you’re on 3 way. which will forward any and calls to voice mail. they need to update that part at least.

EVERYTHING! THEY FORGOT EVERYTHING! i cant even begin to go there about this phone. it was the worst mistake ever. everyone says the same thing. it has a nice interface but does NOTHING.

I am pretty good with phones and this one is awful. I think the interface is the worst ever. Missed events interrupt the call, the speech to action key doesn’t answer the headset, telenav? you might as well use a wrist mounted compass in a magnet factory. This thing doesn’t compete with the Iphone, it licks its feet! I have owned too many phones and this one makes me want to quit! Sprint needs to fess up to this mistake and get us out of it!! aaarrrrggggggg 200 bucks arrrggggg.

They should rename it the Samsung P.O.S.
6 months of complaints and over 1000 dollars worth of lost over time because the phone wont ring, It took the attoney generals office to tell them to release me from my contract that they were void of. Still cant get them to pay me back though. Any lawyers want a case?
