Abstract: The parade of iPhone lookalikes continues. Soon after Apple (AAPL) announced the first iPhone a year ago, factories in Asia, at the behest of U.S. phone carriers, were asked to respond to the sleek, touch-screen device. Some already have reached Americ...
Abstract: Weve covered the hyper-marketed Samsung Instinct since Sprint first announced it in April at the CTIA trade show. The Instinct will be available June 20th, but we received our review unit in advance of the release date. Sprint has been pitching the ...
Great call quality. Excellent Web browser, with cool browsing features. Great navigation, well-integrated with the rest of the phones features.
Not as responsive as it should be. No IM client. Lacks a load of onboard memory. No tethered modem support.
Perhaps its time to dispense with the Apple iPhone comparisons and simply ask: is this a good phone? To that we answer a resounding yes. True, the Samsung Instinct is so much like the iPhone that the similarities cannot be ignored. But at the end of ...

Good voice quality and music and video playback features. Fun to use.
Buggy reception indicator. Disappointing Web browser. No instant messaging client.
Sprint sent us this Samsung phone to review mere hours before Apple will likely announce iPhone 2.0 to make a point: If you want an iPhone, but you dont want to switch from Sprint, the Instinct is almost as good....
Easy-to-learn and fluid UI, Good e-mail accessibility, Over-the-air music downloads, Decent 2MP camera, Solid GPS, Responsive touchscreen and keyboard
Clunky Web browsing experience, Unimpressive Sprint TV, Mediocre video camera, Screen prone to scuffs and scratches
The Samsung Instinct is a very good touchscreen phone, and friends and family were impressed by its performance and design. The iPhone 3G boasts a superior Web browsing experience, Wi-Fi, and a more durable glass multi-touch display, and both it and th...

The Samsung Instinct offers a slick, intuitive design and a heavy load of powerful, innovative, and easy-to-use features. It particularly shines as a messaging and GPS device.
The Samsung Instinct lacks Wi-Fi and instant messaging, and its call and video quality were erratic. Also, its Internet browser could be refined, its internal memory is small, and its camera lacks editing features.
The Samsung Instinct stands out as one of Sprint's finest devices to date. It's just too bad its call quality could use some improvement.
