help choosing a new phone
« on: February 07, 2011, 09:19:14 AM »
Does anyone have any experience with any of these phones if yes please expound thanks:

Samsung Intercept

Palm Pixi

Samsung Instinct s30 (refurb)

These are basically all the free phones that sprint is offering now (I need to spend so much on my plan itself i am not interested in spending so much on phones now)

You will have to get a "dumb phone" or change your plan since Sprint is not going to let you activate any new smartphones without changing everything. They are completely rigid on this.

Oh ok. The Samsung Instinct isn't bad, the Palm Pixi is ok, skip the Intercept.

I've owned a number of Sprint phones and honestly, you'd be better off spending a little money on a different phone than one of these.

If you're eligible for an upgrade, it might be worth it for you to get the latest and greatest phone at launch, flipping it, and buying the phone you want.
