Link Box 1. All times are GMT The time now is PM. You can see a video of Pac-Man in action here. Some games, like Bejeweled, don't use the virtual d-pad and you'll use your finger to touch and move the jewels.
The Instinct comes with a selection of game demos, and you can actually remove the ones you don't want, which is rare for a US carrier phone. There are a few additional titles available for download and purchase, and likely the number will increase in the coming months. TeleNav does an excellent job of routing and navigation, complete with voice prompts, traffic tracking and re-routing. The speakerphone is loud enough for a sedan but you'll want to keep the phone close if you drive a noisy sports car or truck.
The large screen is excellent for map viewing, and all menu and item selections work well via the touch screen. But don't expect to use this for GPS-ing on foot outdoors since the screen is impossible to see.
It does fine in car though, as long as you keep it out of direct sunlight. The GPS gets a signal quickly and accurately tracked our location. Here's where the Instinct gets to shine compared to the original iPhone.
It has excellent voice quality the iPhone's is just OK , a moderately loud and clear speakerphone and voice dialing. We were very pleased with the Samsung Instinct's voice quality for both incoming and outgoing voice, particularly incoming voice. The phone is loud and clear with wide frequency response: high voices are crisp and deep voices retain their bass. Outgoing voice is good, though a tad clipped, so we can't call it excellent.
Signal strength overall was good, though the signal bars are very jumpy going from 5 to none and up to 4 in the space of 2 seconds phone not moved, skies clear, no solar flares raging. Since actual data and voice quality are stable, we suspect this is a software issue with the signal display or a network issue and not an actual reception issue. For example we downloaded local movie listings while the signal bars went from 4 to 0, yet data transfer didn't stop and was in fact speedy.
The phone has Voice Signal's excellent voice command software that works both with the dedicated voice command key on the phone's right side and via Bluetooth headsets. Voice Signal's "Speech to Action" feature also handles launching applications, sending text messages and using the included Windows Live Search to find nearby stuff-- say "search", then "pizza" once Live Search is open, and the application uses the GPS to find pizza joints nearby.
If you've used Live Search on Windows Mobile, this is the same good stuff. Like the iPhone, the Samsung Instinct has Visual Voicemail, which means you'll see a list of messages with the caller's name if they're in your address book or phone number. Tap on one to hear the voicemail message. The service wasn't up and running when we wrote this review, however so we couldn't test it.
The address book can hold up to records with entries for name first and last are one field , phone numbers home, work, mobile, pager and "others" , email, physical address, URL, memo and ringtone. To get to contacts, you have to tap the phone button and select the contacts tab; there is no contacts icon in the "Main" applications tab and you can't add a contact's number to the favorites screen though you can of course add them to the speed dial screen.
The phone can sync contacts with Outlook in Windows using the included software, but not other Outlook data. It also supports Exchange and can sync email and contacts but not calendar items. If you use a Mac, get ready to send vCards over Bluetooth because there's no syncing software. A high speed data service.
The browser is quick at zooming using the dedicated zoom key labeled 1x to start, and not to be confused with the slower 1xRTT data service. A button that has an eye icon similar to the CBS logo hides the right side buttons but not the left side buttons go figure. You can scroll a page by dragging it with your finger and select links by tapping on them. A data connection to use as a wireless high speed modem for a notebook Sprint charges extra for this service.
The email application handles all types of email accounts and isn't limited to certain email services like the LG Vu. It has a wizard that helps you add accounts and it supports Exchange only via OWA Outlook web access or Sprint's desktop redirector service.
The Samsung Instinct has a 2 megapixel camera with a fixed focus lens. There's a self portrait mirror but no flash. The camera uses the entire screen as the viewfinder and there are very few settings-- a cue Samsung shouldn't have taken from the iPhone.
The phone takes images at max resolution, x , and resizes them down if you send them as MMS Picture Mail. There are no settings for white balance, effects or anything else. Likewise the camcorder has no settings other than a button to switch between MMS length 2 minutes or less or for saving locally length limited by available storage.
Photos are typical of 2 megapixel camera phones with a fixed focus lens. Colors are fairly accurate with just a hint of blue-green cast, contrast is a bit too high not unusual for camera phones and sharpening is well done, with photos neither looking too harsh nor blurry. There's relatively little white-out by phone standards and indoor shots are slightly better than average with low noise and good saturation. Video is decent and again average for a 2 megapixel camera phone but the 8 kHz mono audio sounds unusually bad.
The image viewer has a Bluetooth button on-screen that you'll use to send a photo via Bluetooth to a PC or Bluetooth printer-- very good!
Not good. That's why Sprint and Samsung give you two 1, mAh Lithium Ion batteries and an external charger for the spare battery in the box. In fact, here at MobileTechReview, we know something's up with battery life every time Samsung puts 2 batteries in the box. Expect to charge this phone's battery at least one of them nightly, and carry the spare if you use the GPS, Sprint TV and talk much. 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.
