Samsung’s i-Phone Look-alike

To give people a mobile phone that is an Apple look-alike – this is what I think Samsung wants to achieve for creating Instinct, a handset that is an iPhone look-alike. It is narrower and somewhat thicker than the presently existing iPhone. The Instinct has a slim body, spare black packaging, glass encased industrial design and a “fingertip-friendly” interface.

The easy to navigate Instinct also has a number of interesting features such as the resistive touch screen it possesses that allows you to choose whether you would use the enclosed stylus, which you could place in the cheesy plastic included in the package or your very own fingertip. It also has the first-rate voice command features that could launch applications or initiate calls or text messages to your contacts saved in your phonebook. The Instinct is GPRS enabled and browsing the web using it is made faster due to EvDO network support. Uploading directly to MySpace and Photobucket is also possible with Instinct.

On the downside, lacking with flash, the Instinct only has a low-resolution 2 Megapixel camera that can provide fair photos just in the presence of light and poor ones for low light conditions. Having said that, the style may not be a good selling point for the new Samsung Instinct.
