Samsung's Instinct may be the best stab at the coveted title of iPhone killah this CTIA. The 3.1-inch touchscreen phone has localized haptic feedback, plus three hard navigation keys. If it sounds familiar, it's because we've seen versions of it before, but only in Korea. Mind you, this is not the LG Prada-ripoff Samsung F480, which had a much smaller touchscreen. UPDATE: Check out our full Samsung Instinct review HERE.

The Instinct rocks EV-DO Rev A and GPS, in both cases besting what's in the fruit phone. And then content and app wise, Sprint's own wares are basically swapped in for Apple's: Sprint Music Store, Navigation, TV, Visual Voicemail and a full HTML web browser—everything except a la carte music included in the $100 monthly subscription fee. EVERYTHING. On top of that, its customizable homescreen is amazing (and actually customizable, unlike other similar phones).

Price: $129.99 (With $100 mail-in rebate), available with 2 year contract from Sprint.

iPhone or INSTINCT ftw :?:?:?

Thats the exact same thing as the Samsung Glyde for Verizon.

I think the 3G still has it beat

armman · 06-20-2008, 07:08 AM

I agree, 3G is still far better.

CarpeDiem · 06-20-2008, 09:41 AM

3G - 20 Mbps down

sweetdreams · 06-20-2008, 09:45 AM

up to 20mbps, but rarely ever goes down

but sprint has wifimax

but ill just have to buy it on ebay without a contract and hack it over to verizon

how can it be close to a glyde? it is better but doest have a qwerty keypad, but it is one of the newest phones being released

more time spent modding/editting stuff on phones like the sprint mogul on verizon (I had it before verizon released there version)
