Walt Mossberg has been playing around with the Samsung Instinct for Sprint for a while now, and has something to say about the device. That is, it is no iPhone. According to Walt, the device is nice, but it is lost in some areas that he really would have liked the device to excel in. According to him, the interface is just not pretty sufficient.

“I’ve been examining the Instinct, and while it isn’t a poor phone and has some features the Apple product lacks, it’s no match for the iPhone. The manufacturers haven’t replicated the

iPhone’s greatest strength: beautiful, vigorous, breakthrough software.” - Walt Mossberg

Strong words against the device. The Instinct will start shipping on June 20th, meaning it will beat the iPhone 3G out of the gates. The problem is, Sprint has been advertising the devices 3G and GPS, directly targeting the iPhone on that front. perhaps someone should tell them about the iPhone 3G. Mossberg seems to be the few, as many that have reviewed the Instinct found it to be a very nice device.
