Samsung Instinct is I4U Top Gift Guide Tip #35

As cool as Apple's iPhone 3G is, for the vast majority of mobile phone users it simply won't work. The biggest problem is that it is only available on the AT&T network. If you are on Sprint though, you can get the cool Samsung Instinct. The Instinct offers a few features that will make iPhone users jealous.

The screen of the instinct offers tactile feedback and can be operated with a stylus as well as a finger. The handset has a 2MP camera and full HTML web browser. The keyboard can be used in landscape mode and Live TV viewing. The device also features Stereo Bluetooth and full multimedia capability.

Weight for the phone is 4.4 ounces and it measures 4.57" x 2.17" x 0.48". The phone has a 2GB microSD card and it supports up to 8GB microSD cards. GPS navigation is integrated and more.

For Whom:

The instinct is perfect for the Sprint customer wanting to get the latest touchscreen phone or who can’t have the iPhone from AT&T.

The Good:

• Touchscreen
• Wireless broadband access
• GPS

The Bad:

• Not an iPhone
