How to Upload a Program Onto a Samsung Instinct
With its BREW mobile operating system and full support for Java applications, the Samsung Instinct is a full-featured, versatile multimedia phone. The Instinct is designed to provide a rich multimedia experience right out of the box with its built-in support for music and video, but you can enhance your Instinct by installing applications as well. It is simple to download programs from the Sprint Software Store or third-party sites, but you can also easily upload programs to your Instinct from a PC by using a USB cable and microSD memory card.

Tips & Warnings
You can also remove the microSD card from your phone, insert it into a USB adapter (often packaged with the Instinct when purchased from Sprint) and connect the adapter to a USB port on your computer. Your computer should recognize the memory card as a portable storage device and allow you to copy program files to it directly.
If you choose to install the Sprint Media Manager software package, you can skip Step 1. The package includes the Instinct USB drivers.
While the Instinct can accommodate memory cards of up to 16 GB, Samsung recommends using a microSD card 2 GB or smaller for best results.
