Okay, I hate touchscreens, but this haptic response shit has me hooked. This phone is frigging awesome!

GPS? Check.
Stable phone? Check.
good calls? Check.
Good touchscreen? Double check.
5MP Camera? = What? Uhm, YUP.

Anyone else got one of these or played with one?

my wife tried the Samsung Instinct for a month. She couldn't get used to the touch screen and traded it for the Treo 800w. I loved it, it was awesome, and I would assume it's similar to that phone.

I messed with the instinct but wasnt to happy with it. But I hate touchscreens. To much fragile stuff there and never liked how they were. Had a HTC for a while and wasnt upset when it finally broke. Also played with the new Storm from BB and didnt like that either. Same as my BB Bold but touchscreen. LOVE my Bold. Even though Redz hates blackberry.

Very cool man. I just picked up the new HTC Touch Pro from Sprint. 5mp is awesome! Hopefully they opted for a good lense and good AF technology. The picks I got of AC/DC was with my new touch pro and its only 3.2 megapixels, so that thing should rock with 5!

no matter how much better the cell phones are to me they still act like a leash on me. yeah, i got a razor, crappy phone i guess form what i heard but as much as i use it i could care less. cell phones get destroyed where i work at with all the metal dust flying around but the boys still think they need to have them on their hips at all time. mine basically stays in the car. last month, a total of nine minutes air time,lol, glad i am not paying for it.

I've had the Samsung Blackjack I and now recently upgraded to the II, and I do have to say that samsung does put out a pretty good product. IDK about their own operating system they have on that phone, or if you'll ever see 3g speeds in your area from tmobile, but otherwise it seems good. I myself love having a full querty keyboard, so that's why i went with the blackjack.

No 3g here yet, but it's coming soon. They have 2 call centers in ABQ and the only one that works on the 3g phones, so they need a tower here.

I always hated touchscreens, innacurate things, but I have almost no problems with this one and touchwiz.

BTW, their operating system, I swear to god it's just a java version of Windows Mobile. it syncs with Outlook, and just feels like WM.

Also, I've got a full qwerty keyboard, I just turn it sideways. The GPS is pretty good, found a good GPS program for it so mapping routes and everything is fine.

I'm just amazed. The more i mess with it, the more I like it.

Oh, and the t929 will be coming out next year, samsung, looks like the behold, but a 8MP camera.
