Walt Mossberg has been playing around with the Samsung Instinct for Sprint for a while now, and has something to say about the device. That is, it is no iPhone. According to Walt, the device is nice, but it is lacking in some areas that he really would have liked the device to excel in. According to him, the interface is just not pretty enough.
"I've been testing the Instinct, and while it isn't a bad phone and has some features the Apple product lacks, it's no match for the iPhone. The manufacturers haven't replicated the iPhone's greatest strength: beautiful, powerful, breakthrough software." - Walt Mossberg
Strong words against the device. The Instinct will begin shipping on June 20th, meaning it will beat the iPhone 3G out of the gates. The problem is, Sprint has been advertising the devices 3G and GPS, directly targeting the iPhone on that front. Maybe someone should tell them about the iPhone 3G. Mossberg seems to be the few, as many that have reviewed the Instinct found it to be a very nice device.

I think really they are very similar so if the 3g iphone sell out before i get one then im getting the instinct both are very nice phones
only samsung
apple go home
Gee … a website called iPhonebuzz publishes an article called
“Samsung Instinct is no iPhone.” Hmmm. Thats also taking the position that the iPhone is something that Samsung would *want* to achieve ?
Fail.
Well, very sweet… Someone will love this and I can’t wait to tell her about this. Thanks again…
