Hey all you sprint SERO lovers - take a look over at the SERO site. The Samsung Instinct has just made an appearance. There’s some bad news that I have to tell you. Once you get over to SERO you’re going to hate this fine print:

Available plans for the Samsung Instinctâ„¢
We’re glad you’re interested in our new Instinct. Here’s what you need to know about available plans:

Before you buy or upgrade
To take full advantage of the Instinct’s expansive features, you’ll need an innovative approach to service. That’s why we’re only offering the Instinct with Everything or Talk/Message/Data Share plans, which include domestic voice, e-mail, texting, GPS navigation and more.

If you’re a current customer upgrading to the Instinct
After you receive your new phone, you can activate it online. If you don’t already have an Everything or Talk/Message/Data Share plan, you’ll be required to change your current plan during the activation process. At that time, you can select the plan that’s right for you.
Requires eligible upgrade (or new line activation) on an Everything plan or Talk/Message/Data Share plan with two-year agreement.

If you try buying the Samsung Instinct on the SERO site - you’ll be greeted with exactly one plan option — the $99 unlimited Simply Everything plan (Which for some reason Sprint qualifies as a SERO plan).
