The Samsung Instinct HD launched two weeks ago on Sprint. Our review partner Digital Trends tested the Instinct HD and published this review: "In the last couple of weeks, Sprint announced that it would start selling the HTC Hero Android phone on October 11 - the same day that Samsung's Instinct HD goes on sale. Not only will the Hero steal the Instinct's thunder, though. It will - and should - steal its customers as well. Up and down, the Hero is superior in every way except one:
The inclusion of an HD camcorder, a first for cellular phones. Mind you, it's not that the Samsung Instinct HD is a bad option as mobile handsets go. But in the face of the cheaper Hero and even cheaper Palm Pre, both of which offer open operating systems, realize. With its clunky proprietary OS, the Instinct HD is, save for the exception of the high-definition camcorder, nearly an instant anachronism."
