Comments:
Since its introduction last year, the iPhone has emerged as a powerful player in the cell phone world. And so far, the collective response from most cell phone manufacturers has been simply to ignore it. But now Samsung is trying a different tactic. Its n

Comments:
To call the Samsung Instinct an iPhone knockoff would be an understatement of grotesque proportions. Seriously: Even the packaging looks like it came straight outta Cupertino.

QuickTake:

Pros: Turn-by-turn GPS navigation is very responsive, generally accurate and updates quickly. Easily customizable home screen. Painless e-mail setup works well with numerous hosts. Decent multimedia options (included with $99 all-you-can-eat service plan) inclu
Cons: No WiFi. Clearly cellphone-quality photos. No internal storage: 2-GB microSD card included (upgradeable to 8 GB). Can't edit attachments. Web browser needs a serious reworking. Includes a stylus ... but provides no slot to stow it.

Product Rating: 3.5 star(s) Samsung Instinct (Sprint)

Comments:
Don't let the prospect of an even-better iPhone get you down, Sprint subscribers. The Samsung Instinct ($129.99 list with two-year contract) is coming on June 20, giving you an iPhone clone all your own, and it'll likely be a pretty good one once the bugs

Review Verdict: 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 don't want to switch from Sprint, the Instinct is almost as good.

QuickTake:

Pros: Good voice quality and music and video playback features. Fun to use.

Samsung Instinct for Sprint

Comments:
We've 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 Insti

Review Verdict: Sprint did one thing right and one thing wrong. Wrong: they went after the iPhone tooth and nail in marketing the Instinct, and that leads to disappointment because so far, nothing else is nearly like the iPhone. Right: they and Samsung came up with a ver

QuickTake:

Pros: Has pretty much every feature except WiFi-- since that's a rare feature outside of smartphones and since it has EVDO Rev. A we'll excuse that. Most of these features actually work well. Phone voice quality is very good. The GPS works very well as does the
Cons: Battery life is short. Signal meter is wonky. Screen isn't viewable outdoors in direct sunlight and attracts fingerprints like crazy. No IM client. Web browser could be better.

Comments:
The Instinct's low price makes it a great deal for a good handset; but, it's no match for Apple's more diverse phone.

Review Verdict: Samsung did a solid job on the Instinct; you have to admire the extensive feature list you get for the price. But with iPhone prices about to tumble even as Apple's hardware improves, the Instinct doesn't shape up as an iPhone killer

Comments:
At $130 with a two-year contract, the Instinct is a good handset and a great deal. But this iPhone look-alike is unlikely to slay Apple's upcoming 3G handset.

Not yet available in the UK, the Samsung Instinct will appear familiar to anyone who's clapped eyes on the Apple iPhone. So everyone, then.
