Samsung Instinct Video Review

With all the hype with touchscreens these days we recently played around with the Samsung Instinct (aka the “Apple Eater” or “iPhone Killer”).

This is a light device, only at 4.4 ounces and comes loaded with many great features such as a 2.0 mega pixel camera that has video recording capabilities, 3G connectivity to the web, GPS and a music player. Samsung wants people to directly compare this to the iPhone and in our review we take a peek into this touchscreen to see if it even comes close to the iPhone 3G:

This is available at Telus for $129.99 on a 3-year plan… also at Bell(er)

    2. I checked out the Bell version and it seemed that it could only use Hotmail or other web-based email. Does anyone know if the Bell one does POP3 or IMAP4?

    3. Don’t buy the instinct quite yet, I have had 2 in the last 8 days, the problem is with the phone itself, if you go into the webrowser and save a bookmark, once you exit the browser, say to answer a text, when you try to got back to the browser it freezes, and then you have to restart the phone, delete the bookmark or your phone will keep freezing, and do a master reset. But after you reset it the browser locks you out of your bookmarks. I phoned twice the first time they said i had a fluky phone, second time they put a 1st level support ticket on it. and told me they didnt know how long it would take to work this issue out, and to try a new phone. But besides that the phone is great just dont ever save bookmarks. And you have to suscribe to telus navigator for GPS
