Sprint’s Wireless Division President John Garcia aptly put it when he said that the Samsung Instinct will be their best selling EVDO handset ever. Barely two weeks after its initial sale, stocks for the Instinct went poof as a result of strong early response from long excited customers.

Even as Sprint expected a big launch placing its largest ever initial order for any EVDO handset, still some Sprint locations depleted their inventory while shortages were reported in other areas. At present, Samsung is working double-time to cope with the huge demand they are facing.

The monstrous sales turn out has been attributed to wireless customers’ appreciation of the Instinct’s innovativeness and utility. A great number of purchases, especially during the early days of the phone’s availability, came from customers who upgraded their existing wireless devices. These customers expressed high confidence in the Instinct’s features, as well as took advantage of Sprint’s irresistible price offering for the smartphone.
