Sprint Samsung Instinct

Just ordered one tonight. Does anyone know if it works fine with the BMW bluetooth?

I would find out if it works with BMW Bluetooth, before ordering. But that's just me.

Sorry I don't know about this phone.

Did you try searching e90post? Or looking through the A/V/Bluetooth subforum?

I will still have my Samsung M610 that I will be switching off between phones. The M610 works with all the bmw bluetooth features.

I'm sure it probably works fine, but I wouldn't have gotten one. They are incredibly underwhelming. Maybe you will be more impressed than I was though.

It works fine with mine, I do not have one. I just tested it out when my store got it's shipment. If you want a toy you got the right phone. If you wanted a PDA, I'm sorry.....

I got it for a multimedia phone. I ordered 4 of them for my family. $59 each no mail in rebates.

Sprint Business phone rep. I got him to give it to me for the best buy price of $129 with no mail in rebates plus $70 credit per line to renew for 2 years. I have had this account with five lines for the past eight years = 25 Large

When the new instinct phones come in we are switching over to the new plan for all five lines. $229, 3000 shared minutes & unlimited text/data/etc, plus $10 in insurance, free 6pm nights, and 1st incoming minute free on one of the lines (saves 330min a month), and lastly 12% business discount.

the instinct is a good phone and will hopefully be a great phone with a few updates. it is no pda phone but more on par with an iphone, fun to use with some great features like the nav which is better than any nav unit i have ever used. you can even search for gas by price in your area and have the phone route you to it.
browser needs work though.

Before I placed the order I used the phone in the sprint store for about 10min and I liked it. For the price I paid ($59) I think it will be a great phone...

haven't read much about the instinct, but does it sync to outlook?
