iPhone Instinct Face Off

Sprint Instinct - More candy-bar shaped than the iPhone 3G, this sleek phone’s keyboard is larger than the iPhone it mimics. Just like the iPhone 3G, it reveals full Web pages. But this Samsung phone lacks the iPhone's 2-finger stretch Web viewing feature. But, the browser is slooooow. On the plus side, it does come with a free second battery and a 2 MP camera-camcorder.
Maps & GPS - Finally, the iPhone 3G comes with real GPS not that fake-me-out stuff the first model offered. However, unlike the Instinct, the iPhone 3G doesn’t have turn-by-turn audible instructions. And, at $129, the Instinct is still cheaper than the 3G, which costs $199, plus another $10 a month for Web service.
Instinct-iPhone 3G Features - Nope! There's no iTunes on an Instinct. Sprint does give you tons of videos, songs and games. To it's credit, the 3G also gives you access to more than 100 new apps. Plus, like Treos and BlackBerries, it now pushes email to the phone, and can now view Microsoft Exchange mail. What it doesn't have is voice dialing, text video or the ability to cut and paste text from a Web page. So, decide what's important to you before plopping down your money.
