The Dash is the codename for the M850. Which is the next Instinct with BREW 4.0 on it. Its already been leaked in the community that is waiting for the release of the M850 that its running a newer version of the same old Instinct UI with a fifth tab for apps. Which is fine for me. I loved the UI in the M800/M810. I loved it so much I'm waiting for the M850 instead of getting a Pre, Tour or Touch Pro 2 specifically cus I loved the UI. Besides I have a G1 for all my smartphoning needs. <br><br>Altho when I had a M810 I was thinking that it was very smartphonish and that the line between dumbphone and smartphone was getting very blurry. Cus it reminded me a lot of the iPhone UI, grid patterned icons with different tabs. Using Opera Mini it browsed the internet awesome, I'd even use it over my G1 to browse sites. With Sprint Mobile Mail and the IM client it worked more reliably at pushing email than my G1 and having an enjoyable IM client unlike my G1s agravating one.  I think the only problem with the BREW interfaced Instincts were the lack of apps. Shrug. I was surprised that I liked a full featured dumbphone over smartphone offerings like my G1, winmo handsets and the iPhone. <br><br>Either way this is a long post saying I'm passing up other options and waiting to get my hands on the M850.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Doax]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jul 13th 2009 11:31AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Samsung InstinctQ gets WiFi certification, but what is it?]]></title><link>http://mobile.engadget.com/2009/07/13/samsung-instinctq-gets-wifi-certification-but-what-is-it/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://mobile.engadget.com/2009/07/13/samsung-instinctq-gets-wifi-certification-but-what-is-it/</guid><description><![CDATA[Are you positive it's running the same UI. Personally, I believe that's the weakest point with the Instinct and would be a much better device if it ran TouchWiz.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Vic]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jul 17th 2009 7:33AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Samsung InstinctQ gets WiFi certification, but what is it?]]></title><link>http://mobile.engadget.com/2009/07/13/samsung-instinctq-gets-wifi-certification-but-what-is-it/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://mobile.engadget.com/2009/07/13/samsung-instinctq-gets-wifi-certification-but-what-is-it/</guid><description><![CDATA[I hope the first Android phone doesn't get branded as an Instinct.

If you're going to have a smartphone that is constantly updating from the sprint network you need unlimited data. Android totally needs a data plan. I can see why you might not need it on a BREW OS phone being there wasn't any real apps for the original instinct but android you actually have options. But if all you want is basic phone usage and the occasional text there are plenty of Rant/Exclaim, Lotus or Rumor2 options for you.  It seems to me people should be understanding that if you get a phone that is constantly talking to the data network they're doing you a favor and saving your pocketbook a little bit in the long run. <br><br>I guess my comment makes me sound very assholey but if you're not using a smartphone for what its designed for I don't understand the reason for having one. Status symbol or something? Cus it can't be just to have a touchscreen phone otherwise you wouldn't care if it had android on it. <br><br>Break it down for me please.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Doax]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jul 13th 2009 6:18PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Samsung InstinctQ gets WiFi certification, but what is it?]]></title><link>http://mobile.engadget.com/2009/07/13/samsung-instinctq-gets-wifi-certification-but-what-is-it/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://mobile.engadget.com/2009/07/13/samsung-instinctq-gets-wifi-certification-but-what-is-it/</guid><description><![CDATA[No, no. I use my data plan all the time and I understand the need for having a data plan for a smartphone.  Its just that I have been a customer with Sprint for more than 10 years and love my grandfathered family plan which has already has a unlimited data plan.  I also don't use too many minutes so unlimited minutes wouldn't be necessary for me.  So switching to a SE plan would cost me twice as much without any benefit over my existing plan.  I don't blame Sprint for trying to get people off of plans that they don't make alot of profit from but they are certainly not doing me any favors in forcing these SE plans.  I think I will eventually switch if they do force the SE plan for all Android phones but hopefully I can get the Pro2 as my next phone without SE.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Jim]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jul 13th 2009 9:01PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Samsung InstinctQ gets WiFi certification, but what is it?]]></title><link>http://mobile.engadget.com/2009/07/13/samsung-instinctq-gets-wifi-certification-but-what-is-it/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://mobile.engadget.com/2009/07/13/samsung-instinctq-gets-wifi-certification-but-what-is-it/</guid><description><![CDATA[you dont need the "simply everything" plan, just and "everything data" plan, there are a few minute options like 450 for $70 which i personally have,  there are also "everything family data" 2 lines $130 for 1500 minutes and $20 extra for each other line.  I have a 20% discount on a$70 plan that lets me do what i do, and that includes the blackberry data for my tour]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[kenny powers]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jul 15th 2009 10:41AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Samsung InstinctQ gets WiFi certification, but what is it?]]></title><link>http://mobile.engadget.com/2009/07/13/samsung-instinctq-gets-wifi-certification-but-what-is-it/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://mobile.engadget.com/2009/07/13/samsung-instinctq-gets-wifi-certification-but-what-is-it/</guid><description><![CDATA[Tehseen Hussain -<br><br>Why do you hope it is for Sprint?<br>What makes Sprint special to you?<br>]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[John Raven]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Aug 6th 2009 3:44PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Samsung InstinctQ gets WiFi certification, but what is it?]]></title><link>http://mobile.engadget.com/2009/07/13/samsung-instinctq-gets-wifi-certification-but-what-is-it/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://mobile.engadget.com/2009/07/13/samsung-instinctq-gets-wifi-certification-but-what-is-it/</guid><description><![CDATA[I want mine now!!!
