It's not only 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. So some people love AT&T
and other love Sprint and it's their choice. What we are going to do is compare
the features of the two phones.
First of all let's do the comparison of 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 harden 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.
