    Samsung Instinct with Haptic Feedback: Yes it is iPhone Killer

    The Samsung Instinct is the most impressive iPhone 3G alternative
    we’ve seen so far. It offers haptic feedback (small vibrations in
    response to touches), 3G, GPS, 2-megapixel camera with video
    recording, full e-mail and web browsing capabilities, and much more!
    The Instinct runs on Sprint’s EV-DO Rev A high-speed network.

    This remarkable smartphone features full QWERTY touchpad in landscape
    format for faster typing… but, forget about typing. With Speech to
    Action feature, all you have to do is say “search” and ask for “coffee
    shops” or “pizza” or whatever you are looking for.

    With the the help of built-in GPS capabilities, the Instinct will
    quickly locate results near you. It will even give you direction via
    Windows Live Maps. You can use speech commands for pretty much
    anything you do - from texting, email sending, news searching, weather
    info requests, traffic inquiries, and more. With Mobile Sync you can
    always sync your phone to the Sprint website and back up all your
    important data. When your battery runs low, simply change it. The
    Samsung Instinct comes with 2 standard batteries in the box, so you
    just switch them out while you charge the other.

    With Stereo Bluetooth Profiles, you can stream your audio to a stereo
    Bluetooth headset complete with Call Announce. A very important
    feature is ability to multi-task. For example, you can listen to music
    while you browse the web, and you can pause your tunes when a call
    comes through.

    A 2GB microSD card is included, plus the Samsung Instinct can hold up
    to 8GB of external memory. You can use your memory to shoot, store,
    and share pictures and videos with 2.0 MP camera and camcorder. All
    images and videos can be viewed in thumbail mode or can be scrolled
    though larger previews with filmstrip mode.

    Customizable favorites allow you to easily drag-and-drop applications
    in the order you want them. This feature comes handy when you want
    your most-used features to be placed front and center.

    Sprint Power Vision Services include Sprint TV Enabled, Sprint Mobile
    Email, Spring Navigation, Sprint PCS Picture Mail, Sprint Music Store,
    games, screen savers, and more. Most importantly, you can watch TV on-
    the-go, quickly download your favorite music, and check your E-mail,
    whether it’s corporate, POP3 or online service.

    On Friday, Samsung Electronics began selling its touch-screen Instinct
    handset for $70 cheaper than Apple’s iPhone 3G. The newest smartphone
    is offered by Sprint Nextel for $130 after rebate. Sprint has said it
    will spend more than $100 million to market the touch-screen Instinct
    in hopes the cellphone can recover from steep customer losses.

    What’s in the box? The Samsung Instinct includes: M800 Handset with
    battery cover, 2GB microSD card (inserted into phone), 2 standard
    batteries, battery cell charger, AC charger, chargeable USB cable,
    3.5mm stereo headphones with microphone, microSD memory card adapter
    for use with PCs, stylus packed in mini leather case, and printed
    materials with CD.

    How does that compare to the $300 16 GB iPhone? Wait, you can not buy
    a 16GB micro sd card so this will never be a 16GB Instinct.

    So compare that to a $200 8 GB iPhone. You pay $130 to Sprint and then
    add an 8 GB sd card for $50 to $80 which takes this gem to $180 to
    $210.

    Then you have to worry about the sd card getting ejected and lost so
    you have to buy another one again.

    Samsung should have just included the memory to start with like Apple
    does. Now does Sprint email work with Yahoo, HotMail or GMail like the
    plain Jane iPhone does? Do you get true HTML email or plain text?

    Do they give you a bag to carry all that extra hadware in that is
    needed to keep the instinct running during the day?

    Does it even sync with iTunes or does it sync OTA with Sprint or that
    Micorsoft WinMo cludge for Sync to a PC?

    What is the end user experience - all promise ending in frustration?

    In terms of customer service, yes. In terms of network, AT&T falls far
    short in terms of 3g coverage.

    If 4phun's information is correct, I think he has made some very valid
    points. I don't agree with your responses to them. If it were, as you put
    it, simply "a phone, not a computer" then it wouldn't need to have any of
    the functions it has; it would just need to make calls. The bottom line is
    that, you may call it what you want, but if it's going to do stuff, it
    should do it well, not half-assed. Common, stylus but no place to stow it?
    Who thought of that??? And why compare the price of one to the other with
    different storage memories? That's an apple/oranges way of looking at
    things, which is what I think they're counting on.

    We'll see how much of an "iPhone killer" this thing turns out to be. About
    the same as the LG Voyager, I suspect.

    Sprint with most dropped calls, and worst building penetration you
    mean due to it being stuck with inferior PCS 1900 MHz band?

    Maybe a person's choice of a phone is like comparing apples to oranges. We
    all have our preferences. Why does one have to be a killer of the other?
    Can't they all live harmoniously together in a sort of phone fruit salad?

    Which Carrier Is Winning the War On Fewest Dropped Calls?

    With all major wireless carriers claiming to offer the fewest dropped
    calls, wireless management services provider mindWireless used its
    database of call data to research the facts of the claims. Using a
    sample of more than 80 million calls placed and received between January
    1, 2006 and June 30, 2006, mindWireless found Sprint, followed by
    Cingular's legacy AT&T Wireless to have the fewest number of dropped
    calls, nearly 50 percent behind Verizon, the carrier claiming the best,
    most reliable network.

    Going by Houston, Tx, Los Angeles, New York City,
    and Miami; where I have experience, I can categorically state I have
    experienced 90% fewer dropped calls with AT&T than Sprint.

    But then thats why folks call Sprint Customer Service, and then give
    it the worst in the industry rating.

    One minor caveat - At&t is ever more profittable every quarter; Sprint
    PCS is losing money and in danger of putting itself up for sale.

    Except they werent measuring dropped calls. They were measuring what
    they assumed to be an approximation of dropped calls. A duplicate call
    placed within 2 minutes.

    I often place calls to relatives that also have AT&T and manys the
    time within 2 minutes I think of something else I forgot to say and
    call them back. But those calls would have been counted as dropped
    calls.

    Actually I have found that those unbiased reviewers who have both the
    LG VU and the INSTINCT as well as the old first generation Apple
    iPhone love ....(drum roll here please)...the OLD 2G IPHONE by far
    over the other two newer phones. Yes they acknowledge some nice
    features but they say the real world user experience still remains
    far better with the iPhone. Can you imagine how for a few bucks more
    anyone can grab a new 3G iPhone in a couple of weeks instead of living
    with Korean iPhone wannabes for two years?

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0sbQ5oGCZtY

    You can view both biased reviews (mainly from Sprint shills) and
    unbiased reviews using the Firefox 3 plug in PicLens and use the
    search term "Instinct vs. iPhone". I love PicLens for in full screen
    mode you can easily see in review after review the iPhone screen is
    sharper and more attractive than the others when shown side by side.


    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d2_NUZBDoKU


    You don't even get the real web on Sprint's offering. Also you will be
    rolling on the floor laughing at the Microsoft means for zooming the
    screen etc. Both of the newer phones serve as a painful reminder of my
    old Dell Axiom may that beast rest in peace.

    Sorry, fanboi, memory is UNLIMITED because YOU get to hotswap microSDs any

    Buy.com also has a 2GB microSD with SD adapter for the PC so you can swap
    pictures/movies/music/stuff back and forth to the Instinct for $10 each
    with free shipping.

    16GB/2=8 cards x $10 = $80, not $180 to $210 where you shop.

    Er, ah, I don't know about the Fruit company, but every SD or microSD
    device I own you have to FIGHT to get the tiny cards out of the devices
    clutches, locked inside. My stuff even has a door to keep it clean that
    seals. I suppose I could lose them, but I have a little carrier card I
    made for the back of the N800 Linux tablet for SD cards anyone could make.

    I cut two pieces of plastic as wide as the battery compartment door that
    goes the full width across the back of the tablet, but not up the curve to
    the antenna radome at the top. These pieces simply match the length and
    width of the door.

    They are glued to a piece of blue (to match my blue LEDs, of course) foam
    from a craft shop (Walmart) that's as thick as the SD cards are thick,
    which isn't much. A notch in the foam is cut for each card so the card
    fits into the notch between the hard plastic sheets so only a tiny sliver
    of the SD card, the end opposite the contacts, protrudes when the card is
    hard into the slot. A combination of the foam squeezing on the sides of
    the card and a little vacuum that forms when the card comes out of the
    slot, holds the cards FIRMLY inside my little card carrier. There are 4
    slots, side by side, to put cards/microSD-to-SD adapters so I can plug my
    MotoROKR Z6m's microSD cards into the tablet's external SD slot, on the
    battery compartment door, glued together and glued to the door. There's
    just enough sticking out to get your fingernail to hook the card's edge,
    keeping them out of the dirt and from being lost.

    Storage, using 16GB cards, would be 16GB internal, 16GB external (online at
    a time) plus four more 16GB in the storage slots if I like for a total
    storage of 96GB of maps, movies, music, photos, satellite tiles,
    aeronautical charts, little used but quickly installable apps, and some
    really stupid nonsense....all in one device...

    96GB is a LOT of storage...(c;

    But, in reality I have two 16GB cards in the little Linux box, 2 8GB cards
    I had before the 16GB cards and a 4GB SDHC card. The last slot is the
    microSD to SD adapter, which also houses an extra 2GB microSD card to swap
    with my ROKR Z6m when I get tired of the music on its other 2GB microSD
    card.

    It's a regular memory store!

    No, because it takes the CHOICE of what you want online, and the ability to
    CHANGE what's in the memory slot in a couple of seconds the FruitFone
    cannot offer...just like most other sellphones.

    How long does it take to erase 9GB of movies you're tired of and REPLACE
    them with 9GB of NEW movies off alt.binaries.movies.divx....not even
    including the conversion time to one of the codecs the FruitFone can play?
    Download 9GB off iTunes through your computer and let us know how long that
    takes.

    microSD cards are much smaller and thinner than my SDHC beasts. You could
    make a simple credit card carrier like the one on my battery compartment
    but as small as a credit card that would carry a dozen around its
    edges...right in your wallet.

    If you have a removeable memory card, you don't need to "sync". You can
    have your OWN STUFF!.....well, except on Verizon where Verizon blocks
    everything in firmware, like makin' your own ringtones out of MP3 files.

    We'll see....won't we....(c;

    Be honest...you'd kill for freeware apps and a real memory card, would't
    you?
