Samsung Instinct Reviews

Wired does a hands-on review of the Samsung Instinct and writes, “The Instinct should (and probably will) sell like crack injected hotcakes. The fact that a good many technophiles are locked into Sprint contracts or actually want high speed data access from their mobile devices virtually ensures high demand for the Instinct. Oh and you better believe the G-Lab will have a review device once Samsung irons out all the wrinkles in the device.” Link.

InfoSync reviews the Samsung Instinct and writes, “So, how is this phone better than the iPhone, and how is it worse? We could make a federal case out of this question, but here are some striking differences. The Samsung Instinct is not as responsive as the Apple iPhone, and this makes the interface just a bit less fun to us. iTunes is still the best media management software, and the movie experience on the iPhone can’t be beat, even by Sprint TV…The Samsung Instinct comes with two batteries (removable, of course), real GPS navigation and very fast networking, though it can’t be used as a tethered modem, which is a real disappointment. It has some cool tricks up its sleeve, like the camera scrolling in the Web browser and better multimedia messaging, as well as a great suite of speech recognition apps.” Link.

MobileTechReview has a review of the Samsung Instinct and writes, “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 very good phone in its own right. It’s certainly no iPhone, but that’s not a bad thing altogether. It might not have the near-perfect and transparent UI that makes you forget you’re using a phone, but the Instinct is fun, generally easy to use and it has lots of features the first generation iPhone lacks. We love the rich feature set including the GPS, streaming media players, Live Search, Bluetooth stereo support, an SDHC expansion slot and lots more. If you’re a Sprint customer looking for a high end phone, this is definitely a great choice. The Instinct is one of the most interesting, capable and fun phones Sprint has ever offered.” Link.

Yahoo! Tech reviews the Samsung Instinct and writes, “So, Instinct or iPhone? Not having seen the iPhone 3G in the flesh yet, I’m loath to make a call one way or the other…But I have to say, the Instinct is the first U.S. touchscreen phone to make a serious run at the iPhone—and if you’re a streaming video and music junkie (or stuck in a contract with Sprint, for that matter), it might be your best bet for now…That said, Apple’s upcoming App Store promises to add a universe of features to the iPhone, while the Instinct’s closed platform leaves its users with whatever applications Sprint may (or may not) decide to sell. And if you’re a Web browsing addict like me, there really is no substitute for the iPhone’s top-notch mobile browser.” Link.

CNET reviews the Samsung Instinct and writes, “Though the Instinct and the iPhone look about the same, and they rely heavily on touch screens with unique interfaces, there are some important feature distinctions. The Instinct offers its own brand of visual voice mail and it bests the first incarnation of the iPhone by offering 3G (EV-DO Rev. A) network compatibility, integrated GPS, and work e-mail support, just to name a few. The new iPhone 3G will be more evenly matched, but even the Instinct gets points for its multimedia messaging, voice dialing and video recording…In the important areas of usability and performance, however, the Instinct struggled on a few fronts. The Web browser wasn’t quite as easy to use as we had hoped, the camera lacked editing features, and the Instinct’s call and video quality were variable. However, even with those caveats, the Instinct remains a powerful, innovative cell phone with a loaded feature set and an appealing design. The Instinct is $129 with a mail-in rebate and a two-year “Simply Everything” plan. Simply Everything plans start at $70 per month.” Link.

Digital Trends reviews the Samsung Instinct and writes, “The Sprint Instinct from Samsung is one of the hottest new phones on the market, thanks to its slim profile, vibrating touchscreen, and standard headphone jack. It also has features that are now standard fare on midrange phones, like GPS, a Web browser, and a microSD slot. The Instinct’s lack of built-in WiFi means prospective iPhone buyers probably won’t be swayed, and its live TV streaming pales in comparison to that of the LG Voyager. But Samsung has clearly been listening to consumer complaints about the competition (and its own Glyde) and has made a reliable, satisfying handset with a stellar accessory bundle…This is not a true smartphone like the iPhone or AT&T Tilt, and it’s really not ideal for business users because of the lack of instantaneous email sync (a la Blackberry) and somewhat iffy MS Exchange support. We’re also not crazy about the live TV and much prefer the service on LG’s Voyager. But if those things don’t bother you, the Instinct’s otherwise excellent feature set, solid performance, great accessory bundle, and sexy form factor make it a very satisfying phone.” Link.

MobileBurn reviews the Samsung Instinct and writes, “The Samsung Instinct is no iPhone, nor is it an iPhone killer. It is, however, an amazingly feature packed touch based phone with a reasonable user interface. It has many highlights that are going to thrill a lot of users, and it still manages to offer a lot of visual bang for the buck when it comes to impressing your friends. And while I am very pleased with the on-screen QWERTY keyboard it offers, I am even more impressed by its voice based Live Search functionality. This is what it is about - easy access to information while on the go…It isn’t without its flaws, and I do find it to be more cumbersome to use than it ought to be, but I still think there are going to be many people that will be floored by this phone. I give it a solid “Recommended” rating. And considering the cut-throat price that Sprint is offering it at, I expect it to continue to fly off of the shelves for some time to come.” Link.

Geek reviews the Samsung Instinct and writes, “In summary, Sprint and Samsung did a great job with the Instinct. I saw it preproduction and I can’t believe how much they have fixed in just a few months. If I didn’t already have an iPhone and/or wasn’t locked into an AT&T contract, I would have to give the Instinct a run. The issues I mentioned above are all software related, so you can bet that in a couple of months most, if not all, will be rectified…After having played with the Instinct, I’ll definteily miss the Speech to Action, Navigation and Favs tab the most. You can bet that I’ll be the first to download similar offerings on the iPhone, when and if they become available.” Link.

PC World reviews the Samsung Instinct and writes, “I have a couple of additional observations. First, opening the back of the phone to switch batteries was very difficult. The rubbery plastic back of my unit did not want to slide off no matter how hard I tried to follow the manual’s instructions and push with my thumbs. A couple of stronger friends had similar problems before it finally gave way. I hoped the issue would go away after the initial experience, but it didn’t–I still can’t get the darned thing open myself…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.” Link.

NetWorkWorld reviews the Samsung Instinct and writes, “t’s hard not to immediately start comparing the Instinct features with the iPhone, but there are some differences that make the Instinct stand out. First and foremost, the phone can access Sprint’s EV-DO Rev. A network, which offers faster download speeds than the original EDGE-based iPhone, and possibly even the UMTS network from AT&T (again, we’ll check next week). The built-in GPS with Sprint Navigator (powered by TeleNav) is a great alternative to stand-alone GPS devices, and worked very well in my testing. The Instinct doesn’t have direct Exchange capabilities, but it does have a “work” e-mail option that lets you access your Exchange e-mail, provided your company allows for Outlook Web Access…This isn’t an enterprise-class phone — the e-mail application and lack of a VPN client prove this — but it could be considered at small or midsize businesses. I don’t think iPhone users will switch to the Instinct (especially with the iPhone 3G now available), but Sprint loyalists who’ve had iPhone envy for the last year can finally have a multimedia phone that matches the iPhone in several categories. If the iPhone is an A+, then the Instinct is a solid A-.” Link.

The Miami Herald reviews the Samsung Instinct and writes, “The menu and interface is easy to use and well designed. It will play music in the background as you do other things, like accessing the Internet. Sprint has some great entertainment features that you can put shortcuts to on your main menu, such as Sprint streaming radio or TV stations…This is a well-designed phone, and the fast-responding touch screen. Considering what this phone can do and the large display, it’s a good deal at $130 and worth getting if you’ve comfortable using a touch screen.” Link.

Wired reviews the Samsung Instinct and writes, “Of course, the real reason for the iPhone’s success is its operating system, and here the Instinct is still playing catchup. While everything is intuitive and pretty zippy, it’s still not quite as polished as Apple’s version. The web browser shows some terribly rough patches, a crude zoom button stands in for the iPhone’s sophisticated “pinch” system. As well, the narrower body trims nearly a half inch off the iPhone’s screen size, which really cramps page size. Even typing on the Instinct can be rocky, as there’s no pop-up indicator to show you what button you’re actually hitting. I made so many mistakes in notes and web URLs that typing slowed to a painful crawl even by iPhone’s slow standards. It got so bad I ended up using a fingernail to type instead of my fingertip…The Instinct won’t woo the Apple faithful from upgrading to the iPhone 3G, but it’s definitely good enough to rank as a solid second-tier player in the smartphone space. If nothing else, if you have the misfortune to be locked into a long Sprint cellular plan from which you can’t escape, pick up one immediately.” Link.

CNN reviews the Samsung Instinct and writes, ” In the important areas of usability and performance, however, the Instinct struggled on a few fronts. The Web browser wasn’t quite as easy to use as we had hoped, the camera lacked editing features, and the Instinct’s call and video quality were variable…However, even with those caveats, the Instinct remains a powerful, innovative cell phone with a loaded feature set and an appealing design.” Link.

Mobile Magazine reviews the Samsung Instinct and writes, “It’s clear that Samsung is targeting the same segment of the market with the Instinct as the Apple iPhone 3G. Even though the device has been selling very well, I feel that it is still not up to snuff with the iPhone. The user interface is not as crisp. The touchscreen is not as responsive. And you are not able to load third-party applications at will…The Samsung Instinct is a decent phone with a nice feature set, but if you’re thinking that it will be a suitable replacement for the iPhone… well, you’ve got another thing coming.” Link.

CTV reviews the Samsung Instinct and writes, “Bell refers to the Samsung Instinct on their billboard ads as the “apple eater”, a thinly veiled attack on the iPhone 3G being sold by competitor Rogers. My guess is that their confidence comes less from the idea that they have the better phone and more from the assertion that they offer the better deal…The strength of the Instinct can be found more in its ability to trade text messages than its capability as a smartphone where its poor web browsing, lack of true desktop synchronization, and limited selection of non-subscription-based features make it the handset to avoid and the most unlikely choice for Bell to position against the Apple iPhone 3G.” Link.
