"Terrible touch interface"

By (cnet.com)

Do not under any circumstances buy this phone... 

Looks like it would be a nice phone. Cool Packaging. I do like when you touch it you get the feel that there is a key there

The touch is terrible. I have re-did the settings to try to optimize it, and no go. Forget texting, and God forbid there is an emergency and you have to try to do something fast on this phone. I would like to snap it in half

Everything on the Instinct is designed to take you right to where you want to go faster. Go right to your favorite contact or Web page by putting them in your favorite folder. Go right to your client meeting with GPS turn-by-turn directions. Go right to the one voicemail message you really want to listen to. With the Instinct, everything is just a touch away.
