The Samsung Instinct is a sleekly designed touch screen device with a wide range of distinctive powerful functions set to satisfy users. Once touted as the 'iPhone killer', this phone is particularly easy to operate and has almost everything you could ask for on a phone.

The design of the Instinct is very 'basic' if you like, but that's what seems to make it so stylish - the front has a plain panel with a 240x432 touch screen displaying 262k colors and 3 basic buttons, and is very thin (only 12.5mm thick). The phone is available in silver or pink. The rear of the phone is also very basic with just a simple, black finish and a small camera at the top. Its camera may not be as advanced compared to similar phones - only 2MP and doesn't have flash or autofocus, but does manage digital zoom. Video recording is available also.

Internal memory on the phone is poor - only 32Mb - but Samsung does realise that and has included an additional 2GB microSD memory card for expanded storage. If 2GB external storage isn't sufficient, users may replace it with larger capacity cards up to the maximum supported size of 8GB.

Although without WiFi, the Instinct does have a fast 3G connection with a full HTML web browser that can be used for viewing regular web pages. It also has built in GPS to help you find your way with the growing use of SatNav applications becoming available for such phones like Google Maps Mobile. As for stamina, talk time is a fairly average at 5.75 hours, but that will still manage a very long phone call!

The music player supports the formats you are most likely to need out of a phone - MP3, AAC, AAC+ and WMA. WMA support is handy as it means that CDs ripped into.wma formats will be playable on the device. There is, of course, a 3.5mm jack for you to listen to your tunes from, and a USB connection for quick and easy transfer of your music to your phone. Video playback supports both MPEG4 and H.264 formats which should be enough to satisfy the majority of users.

The Samsung Instinct; a well balanced and all rounded device - it's stylish, it's easy to use, it's professional for business use, and its got enough features to impress someone keen on technology. If you're looking at buying a good touch screen phone that's value-for-money, you should consider this as a serious option.
