Samsung Instinct S30 (Sprint) Smartphone
Phone fans had been hoping that Sprint's next-gen version of the Samsung Instinct smartphone would drop weight and beef up on specs. Then, at CTIA 2009, the Instinct S30 (US$130 after rebates, with a two-year contract) premiered. Let's just say that the new version underwhelms.

Either way you look at it Microsoft Data Center management did not follow standards or best practices in this failure. In which case it makes me wonder more about the outsourcing of corporate data much less personal data.

Dell Latitude laptop batteryS30 Weather, Sports, News, and Movies Downgrade
On the S30 Weather, Sports, News and Movies open in a browser window that is not as easily customizable as the pocket express application that was used on the original instinct.The orginal Instincts pocket express software used GPS to provide customizable weather for your city, movies in your area, and sports for teams close to you without typing in a zip code or city. All that data was only two or three finger touches away. On top of the convenience it had a full HTML browser like the S30, but the S30 has slower connectivity because it's on a lesser network.
On the S30 If you go to movies you're directed to fandango, go to sports you get a crappy web page, go to weather more crap in browser. At least the old Instinct allowed you to filter the crap, and get what you wanted quickly...or view the crap. Those who buy this phone without checking out the original Instinct may not know they are buying a weaker model than the first, they might be satisfied with the browser and navigation. I bought this for my girlfriend in hopes it would be like my original model, and when she saw that it didn't have any pocket express convenience apps she was disappointed. Don't buy it and decide you want to exchange it because Sprint customer service and billing is as painful as the S30 to deal with. The friendly people at the Sprint store didn't even know the S30 was a downgrade until I took mine to them and we compared apps together, they even thought it sucked, because most of them own the original. My experience with the S30 coupled with customer service resulted in me leaving Sprint all together.
