So does this mean there is no possibility the P200 will be called the Paris? And the Paris isn't a different phone entirely? With all the rumors and names thrown out there its hard to keep everything straight!

I think people are undercutting this phone. Perhaps their goal with the Instinct vs. iPhone campaign was a little too lofty. I mean, unless you absolutely devour the iPhone (yeah, right) it's like sitting in front of an oncoming train of scrutiny.

In any case, I think Sprint folks who pick this up will be more than happy. There's a Forum for Instinct-happy folks over at: http://mobileroar.com/forum/instinct/

Verizon has more control than you think:

Isn't this what folks initially called the Nokia Tube? What happened to that?

"and while experts have raved about what XOHM could accomplish, the situation amounted to having a really, really hot fiance with too much freaking baggage. The Joint Venture with Clearwire represents the figurative prenuptial agreement with mandatory marriage counseling."

I don't get what the big deal is... it is all a matter of targeting their ads. In my opinion, the ad was successful.

Sites and blogs like engadgetmobile and wired.com speak in a very loose language that pushes the envelope and dares to cross the line with puns and suggestions. People here dig that humor and enjoy it. They write well.

So why can't Sprint advertise to the site's visitors in a manner and style that is consistent with the one they are already known to enjoy? They wouldn't be running this ad on Nickolodeon or Prime Time Sitcom TV. The ad is on Wired, targeted to Wired readers and it FITS.

Plus, saying they will sell like "crack-injected hotcakes" is pretty PG if you've watched cable TV anytime in the last decade. Lighten up people. Nothing to see here. Move along.

i WILL own one... http://htcdream.com
