| Samsung Instinct vs iPhone 3G |
It's not about the battle of two
devices, it is the battle of two cell phone services providers: Sprint and
AT&T. These two phones will be their best and most powerful presenters that
they have. iPhone 3G is not out yet but AT&T was successfully selling the
previous versions of iPhone for almost a year now. Some people love AT&T
and other love Sprint and it's their choice. What we are going to do is compare
both features of the phones.
First of all let's make a
comparison between the exterior of Samsung Instinct and iPhone. Instinct is
made mainly of plastic which is not that neat today; iPhone has pats made of
metal and harder glass to prevent it from scratching.

As to AT&T vs. Sprint there
are some advantages and disadvantages; but concerning these phones Sprint is
giving very high internet speeds and music store from any point of coverage.
AT&T's iPhone can only connect to iTunes store via Wi-Fi, which restricts
it to the city limits. Besides, everybody knows about Samsung Instinct's and
iPhone's GPS capabilities.
I personally liked the voice
control on Samsung Instinct; however not sure if it would work as good as they
demonstrate it. So train your speech to be able to control it.
I'm not sure if it was a good
idea to have the keyboard only in landscape mode. My personal opinion is that I
want to choose what mode to use because it really frustrates me that I need to
turn it every time I want to input some text.
One more thing that I love about
Instinct is its open platform. I really like to install and use the software I
choose. iPhone has made a pretty
good job on giving positive experience for the customers but it is closed
platform.

Another good thing about Instinct
is that they give an additional battery and an external battery charger, which
can be very helpful during traveling.
iPhone should be twice as fast in
web browsing as the old iPhone is. It supports Bluetooth, GPRS, GSM, EDGE,
Wi-Fi, HSDPA, UMTS connectivity and that's what they are proud about. One of
the biggest news: it will be able to give you 3G video talks with your friends.
One other big news is that Apple
is going to allow third party applications on their iPhone but only those that
are approved by them. Not sure how popular that will be. Apple has done a
pretty good job on the user interface. And the question I have is: "Will
the third party applications be free or they are going to charge the customers
for that?" The platform it is running on is Mac OS X Mobile which should bring the customers best experiences.
In the rest of features the iPhone 3G will be just as its
predecessor (one of the best phones out there.) It will roll out on July the
11th in 70 countries of the world. The 8GB version will cost $199 and the 16GB
version will cost $299.
