Sprint phones. Samsung Instinct or Blackberry Curve 8330. Which is better?

by cromely

So i’ve been comparing these two phones and i just cant choose. Estimate i need some feedback from others on what they reckon of these phones. I want to get the best Sprint phone!
I’m certainly wanting to be able to use the internet on my phone, check e-mails and such. Also want to make sure the calls coming through signal excellent. Then be able to send picture mail as well.

I have the instinct, and I like it. Except for when it freezes, which it does each now and then, once it froze while I was getting a call and I had to take out the battery, but I lost my signal too during that call. I wouldn’t let that stop you from getting one though, because it doesn’t do it that much, mainly it does it when I loose my signal in the middle of doing something.I came with an extra battery which is awesome. I would certainly recommend the Instinct, it is the best phone I have had.

Well, it depends what you’re looking for:

Samsung Instinct: Just plain cool. If you’re into multimedia, music, etc., this is the phone for you. Downsides are no built-in keyboard (on-screen only) makes it somewhat trying to text for some, interface has some bugs (which are being worked on).

Blackberry Curve: It works. Well. It’s primarily a business phone, which means you won’t have a flashy interface and limited options regarding multimedia. It’s also got integrated messaging – Facebook, AIM, Yahoo, etc. One major downside which is not widely renowned is that Sprint has a bug which prevents you from sending texts while on a phone call – This may not be an issue for some, but a deal-breaker for others. Sprint is supposedly working on the issue. One other downside is that without export a 3rd party application, emails are text-only, which means no pretty pictures when you’re viewing emails, but is fixable with some additional software.

I personally upgraded to a Curve about a month ago and haven’t looked back since, but again, it’s really up to your personal preference. Hope that helped!

I have this samsung sph-a620 cell phone and I want to use my cricket service on it . How do I do that?

Answer by neverdugdisco
Im pretty sure that you can’t.. Cricket uses thier own sim cards that aren’t compatible with any other phones. I had Cricket for a month and I despised it! I stopped paying it and they keep sending me bills..
