The user manual for the Samsung Instinct has been posted online. I always find reading the manual a useful way to figure out whether the phone has all the features that I want. Earlier we noted that the Samsung Instinct will NOT be compatible with Sprint SERO. A reader emailed me this morning to share a reply from Sprint that addresses the question of what plan the Instinct must be used with. Keep reading for the Sprint response to the “Will the Samsung Instinct work with Sprint SERO” as well as a link to the Samsung Instinct manual online.

There is a lot of information circulating that the Sprint SERO plan won’t be compatible with the Samsung Instinct. According to this email one of our readers forwarded, Sprint say’s that’s not so – and that ANY plan can be used with the Samsung Instinct.
