Friday, June 20, 2008I really liked the instinct when I tried it at the store i thought that its touch screen was better that most phones that I have used I mean I think the iPhone will always be the best but the instinct is the best thing to it although I highly dislike their options for buying one if you are a previous costumer I mean over 400$$ is suppose to be the iPhone killer?????! LOL I don't think so!

Friday, June 20, 2008Time for Sprint to take charge with the Instinct and break the trend of the Iphone. The instinct is an incredible phone and so is the iphone, but no ones network can compare to Sprints' and what the future holds with 4g launching in September. Sprint is the future of cell phone technology.

7/31/2008 5:50:19 PMactually they lowered the price to trick people the old iphone's plans were cheaper, like internet plans and texting and so on, but the price was more expensive the 3G is cheaper but has a more pricey plan iphone is the best phone, no doubt, self updating, its always going to get better

7/29/2008 8:44:56 PMin my opinion i think that the iphone is the worst phone cause it freezes up like an ipod. And if iphone was sooooo great why did they lower the price after about a week after it came out. The instinct is the best touch i think. But that's only in my opinion like i said. The LG is okay i guess but i LOVE the instinct.

7/27/2008 1:58:23 PMi work for att and the biggest drawback for the iphone is that its so easily broken and NON-INSURABLE. you break it, your out of luck. The ONLY att phone that is non insurable.

7/25/2008 11:16:15 AMno tool, its a release on a patent and now all the companies can make a similar phone. Has nothing to do with copying, DIAF.

7/22/2008 3:36:21 AMNice review, I was really leaning toward the iPhone and this helped. I mean, those other phones are alright, but in the end, they are just copycat impostors. iPhone all the way, it shouldn't even be a choice.

Instinct vs iPhone 3G: Speed Test!

Instinct vs iPhone 3G: Speed Test!
A few months ago Sprint unleashed a media campaign for the Samsung Instinct that pit Instinct against Apple's iPhone in a series of head-to-head tests.  Now that both Instinct and the new iPhone 3G are out on the market and in the PhoneDog "labs" I figured I'd pit the two against one another in a few head-to-head tests of my own (UPDATE: Check out the video of the test, if you like). First up?  Speed.I ran a few speed tests on both...

iPhone 3G: Apple vs the World

iPhone 3G: Apple vs the World
Apple may have disappointed some phone geeks by leaving a few badly wanted features off of the new iPhone 3G, but in typical Apple fashion they're looking past the specific desires of a few in order to set their sights squarely on luring more of the masses into the Cult of iPhone.  Could Apple have added MMS messaging, stereo Bluetooth support, and a decent camera (with flash) to the new iPhone's redesign without sacrificing the grander...

Rip-Off or just similar? Meizu M8 miniOne vs Apple iPhone

Meizu has released more information regarding their forthcoming M8 miniOne touchscreen handset.  Meizu CEO J. Wong posted to a forum on Meizu's site, confirming specs, pricing, and a release date window for the new phone.  The M8 miniOne has garnered attention primarily because it looks so much like Apple's forthcoming iPhone -- or, that is, the graphic renderings of the M8 look a lot like the graphic renderings of the iPhone. This...
