    Samsung's Instinct takes the fight to Apple's iPhone

    There just aren't any truly decent touch-based mobile phones to challenge Apple's iPhone. Well, tell a lie, there is now, and it's called the Samsung Instinct.

    Its out now, was launched yesterday. Vodafone have it instore now, unsure about other networks at the min though as Vodafone have exclusives with Samsung usually. Its model number is the F490 and it is really nice. Kind of a hybrid between iPhone, Samsung F700 and the LG Viewty all rolled into one!

    Re: Samsung's Instinct takes the fight to Apple's iPhone

    Are you sure the specs quoted in the article are accurate? I've read differently on all review sites. Apparently its 5MP camera, not 2MP and the screen is 3.2" not 3.1".

    Re: Samsung's Instinct takes the fight to Apple's iPhone

    s_kinton, check the official tech specs on the Instinct website mate: Sprint | now is good

    The 5MP camera and 3.2" screen belong to the Samsung F490, both phones look very similar and it appears that the Instinct is a re-worked F490, but nonetheless, they're different devices and do have a few differences in spec.

    Sure is confusing though!
