does anyone have one?

I tried it a bit at the mall.  Seemed alright.  Anything you want to know about it specifically?

It doesn’t look that great to me, I am looking at either the Instinct or iPhone 3G for my next phone.

iPhone is hands down the best touchscreen device, but it comes with MANY downsides.  I would get the Instinct or Dare over the iPhone because:

iPhone costs an additional $30/month for data.  No MMS (picture messaging), it can’t record video, or send video messages.  No copy/paste, plus you’re stuck on AT&Ts;weaker/slower network (when compared to Verizon).  There are quite a few other drawbacks, and those are already some major ones, for such a hyped/expensive phone.  Oh, also no turn-by-turn directions, Apple actually won’t even let anyone develop one for the App Store, so maybe they have something coming in the future, but as of right now it’s a drawback.

Even the most basic phones have picture messaging...it’s standard these days.  I was shocked when I saw what features it didn’t have.  As a big Mac fan now, the iPhone is a pretty poor device in my book...loving my iMac though.

Also, the Dare has very good reviews, but if he’s looking at the Dare that probably means he has Verizon and the Instinct is on Sprint’s shitty network, and the iPhone is on AT&Ts;pretty decent network, but I wouldn’t change for either of those phones.

Well if you’re already on Sprint, it seems to be a good phone!
