Is it Sprint or is it the Instinct?
Let’s pretend that you decide you’re going to switch to a different phone (away from your Instinct) after your contract is up. If you switched to another phone in the Sprint family of phones will you still encounter the same problems that we encounter with the Instinct? For example, will the Pre have a limit on text message characters like the Instinct? Does the HTC Pro have the same volume problems with Pandora? Does the Palm Treo have the same OWA password issue the Instinct have? Will the Pre have the same "lag" issues we encounter when texting or using our fingers to navigate the web on the Instinct?
My reason for asking is selfish in that I really want to move on from the Instinct and into the Pre; however, it would be pointless if the same issues with the Instinct follow me over to the Pre. That’s why I want to know if it’s a Sprint "thing" or if it’s an Instinct "thing". Thanks in advance for sharing your knowledge!

I don’t have all of the answers, but i can say from my experience with the instinct, that it sucks and I wouldn’t recommend getting yourself into a contract with this phone. Did i mention that I am on my third instinct? I am in the same boat as you, I want out of my instinct. I don’t know about all of the other phones that you mentioned, but I can tell you that all of the Sprint phones that I’ve had, they are all limited to 160 characters in text, which is really frustrating when your friends are like, “why the hell are your texts all split up?!”. I personally do like Sprint service, but they definitely need to come out with some better phones. Based on my experience with this phone, I don’t think I will ever buy another samsung product again. I mostly blame samsung, as I have never experienced any of these problems with the other Sprint phones that I’ve had. I am half tempted to break my contract and switch to AT&T, especially since they just denied me of a loyalty discount after being with them for 8+ years.
