Yet another iPhone killer: Samsung's Instinct
Gizmodo’s got the line on a new touch-screen iPhone competitor from Sprint and Samsung called Instinct.
Announced at CTIA, the 3.1-inch touchscreen Instinct has a few things that iPhone doesn’t, namely localized haptic feedback, EV-DO Rev A, GPS, microSD slot, and three (count ‘em) hard navigation keys.
There’s also voice activation, Sprint TV (live and on-demand programming) and Pocket Express, which gives up-to-date information on sports, weather, news, movie times and other customized options based on the user’s zip code.
Instinct measures 2.17 inches by 4.57 inches by 0.49 inches, weighs under 4.5 ounces and will be available in June.
Check all the gory details in Gizmodo’s 20-screenshot gallery.
