Samsung Instinct HD SPH-M850 (Sprint)
The Samsung Instinct HD offers a sleek design with an attractive user interface and a brilliant display. Its HD-capable camera is one of the best around, photo and video quality are sharp, and the loaded feature set includes Wi-Fi
The Samsung Instinct HD was sluggish at times and call quality isn't the sharpest. The Opera 9.7 browser takes some getting used to, and the memory card slot is located behind the battery cover, which is inconvenient. It's also quite expensive
The Samsung Instinct HD packs a lot of features and decent performance into an appealing design. But even with all it has to offer, we'd prefer to pay less and get a full smartphone.

Samsung Instinct HD review
Once an Apple iPhone-killer, now Sprint's top feature phone stakes its claim as the first with HD video recording. See how it measures up in our Samsung Instinct HD review.
Great camera with top-notch, high definition video recording. Feature-packed alternative to smartphones. Quality screen does a nice job playing movies
Interface a bit basic and unresponsive. Menus are poorly organized and bloated with less important features. Some apps buggy, underpowered compared to smarter versions

Samsung Instinct HD Review
The Instinct HD's camcorder is impressive, but its clunky OS holds it back from competing with even cheaper models.
5 MP camera; HD camcorder; Sprint TV and radio; Visual Voicemail; haptic touchscreen feedback
Clunky Web browser; difficult to sync; poor music player; buried microSD jack; poor battery life

"Disappoinnting, I want my IPHONE back"
Inferior to IPHONE.
Back up battery; voice GPS system. Good intentions with poor carry through and execution
Slow, clumsy, inconsistent, poor keyboard
"Not all it's cracked up to be"
After haveing several smartphones from HTC, 2...
HD Video and the browser is MUCH faster than previous models as well as beats out my friends' Palm Pre's. Easy to use MOST things. Games are clear and quick. Call quality is great
Photos are 5MP BUT the quality isn't as great as previously stated. Most pictures are VERY blurry. It's hard to transfer HD videos to computer as there IS NOT A PC SYNC. The phone will disconnect from the computer on its own!!! Music play sucks
"Another IPHONE look a like"
Interesting. i like the omnia better
screen resolution quality, camera, webbrowsing
PRICE!!! lots of better phones out there that are less expensive
