I finally sold my 2 month old Samsung Instinct S30 because I got the Palm Pre and don't need the Instinct anymore. This has been my favorite phone to date (and I have owned a lot of different phones). For anyone who doesn't know, here is a rundown of some it the Instinct's features.
Phone features:
- Touch screen
- Favorites screen - gives you instant access to your favorite programs or TV/Radio station. It even lets you set a contact for text messaging; you just click the button and start typing the text message. (I wish the Pre had a favorites screen. It is genius)
- App store - Download games, wall paper etc.
- GPS - The turn-by-turn GPS is great! It give you a trip overview with voice navigation and traffic status.
- Music/Video Player - Upload you favorite music and videos to the removable memory card.
- Sprint TV - Watch live TV including NASCAR races and NFL games. You can also watch shows on demand.
- Sprint Radio - Listen to a variety of radio stations from different genres through the internet.
- 3.5mm headphone jack - One of my favorite features of this phone is the ability to use any regular headphones and listen to music or the other person during a call. The headset that comes with the phone is equipped with a microphone so you can converse hands free.
- Speed dial screen - This is another feature I wish my Pre had. When you click the phone button (right of the home button) you are brought to a speed dial screen. You can immediately click on a contact and call them. That way you don't have to remember the speed dial number - it really came in handy for me.
- Voice dialing and search - You can do voice dialing as well as do a search based on your location for business etc. via voice commands.
- 2MP Camera - The camera is pretty good if you have light. It does record video as well. You can instantly upload you pictures and videos to Facebook, Youtube or some online photo album.
- Battery Life - Battery life is pretty good. I never took notes but it seemed like I could charge it every couple days if I didn't talk for hours. I think talk time is like 4 or 5 hours.
- Expandable Memory - Used up to 16GB micro SD cards in the phone.
The Pre has been a great phone so far I just wish I could marry both phones and make them have a baby. Now that would be the perfect phone.
