Review: Sprint Instinct

sprint_instinct_review.jpg


Price: $129 (After all of that fancy contractual magic that all cell phone companies do)

The skinny:
Sprint's slick entry into the touchscreen smartphone game gives non-AT&T (or T-Mobile) users something to get fingerprints all over.

The good:
Everytime you actually press something on the screen the phone vibrates ever so slightly, providing the little bit of tactile feedback the iPhone desparately lacks. The true GPS didn't get me lost, the screen feels roomy and the touchscreen is extremely easy to figure out. Our download speeds were fast enough that we wouldn't mind actually using the thing to look stuff up or buy movie tickets. Plus, it's small and extremely light, which is good since it'll probably be glued to your hand 20 hours a day. It also comes with two interchangeable batteries which is a big plus.

Heist? What heist? What does this key open? After searching the internets for clues (don't judge me), I came up with nothing. Then, this morning, I got a mysterious black duffel bag from Gotham National Bank. It was stained with blood, and it had a Joker henchman mask dangling from the handle. It also had two MORE keys attached to it. Hmmmm…

Neither key worked, so I remembered the playing card and voila! The lock on the case opened and unveiled my booty...

Hands On: Cardo S-2 Bluetooth Stereo Headphones

Price:
$56.99 on Amazon

The skinny:
Wireless headphones have a long and well-earned history of being huge, heavy and delivering the sound quality of a can attached to a string, but Cardo's newest headset provides fairly high quality performance for a price tag that's lower than the other guys.
