Any review of the phone by anybody ought to continue the fight of which Samsung threw the first punch.

That said, Mossberg is certainly twitterpaited with Apple.]]>Jun 12th 2008 11:37AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/12/mossberg-reviews-samsung-instinct-accidentally-previews-iphone/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/12/mossberg-reviews-samsung-instinct-accidentally-previews-iphone/Jun 12th 2008 12:19PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/12/mossberg-reviews-samsung-instinct-accidentally-previews-iphone/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/12/mossberg-reviews-samsung-instinct-accidentally-previews-iphone/
But this does lead to a very good question: will iTunes support 3G download? That'd be more money for both Apple and the network provider.]]>Jun 12th 2008 12:21PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/12/mossberg-reviews-samsung-instinct-accidentally-previews-iphone/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/12/mossberg-reviews-samsung-instinct-accidentally-previews-iphone/http://www.moconews.net/entry/419-no-over-the-air-3g-music-downloads-for-new-iphone-labels-holding-out-fo/

Even if you had a GPS app that you wanted to use for navigation (not gmaps) you couldn't run internet radio at the same time, since Apple forbids background apps.

Will this phone do it? Who knows, I don't know what all applications this specialty OS has. But it certainly could.]]>Jun 12th 2008 9:01PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/12/mossberg-reviews-samsung-instinct-accidentally-previews-iphone/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/12/mossberg-reviews-samsung-instinct-accidentally-previews-iphone/

Really, no offence. I don't give a shit what he thinks in pirvate but he should be more neutral then what he's doing now when doing job.]]>Jun 12th 2008 6:37AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/12/mossberg-reviews-samsung-instinct-accidentally-previews-iphone/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/12/mossberg-reviews-samsung-instinct-accidentally-previews-iphone/
actually I suppose it isn't strange coz' he has never put his hands on the 3G apple phone...

still why can't these people say something like "I like this particular feature because ... I find it easier than ....

for instance, the idea of the multi-touch, this is to shrink pictures, yes ? well... you could do this with a jog dial (with one hand in your pocket), without touching the screen.

honestly, that is not a real reason to use the multi touch...tell us a good reason why it is clearly better (multi touch).

Anybody else feel the same ?

Wow !! Anyone else catch the fact that the Apple phone monthly charge will be $70 plus a further $10 for unlimited data (that is what he says). !!!

He's the face that Apple fanboys don't want to have he's the worst picture of a subjective Apple fanboy that just cries for attention.

Seriously shut up Mossberg.]]>Jun 12th 2008 7:51AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/12/mossberg-reviews-samsung-instinct-accidentally-previews-iphone/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/12/mossberg-reviews-samsung-instinct-accidentally-previews-iphone/Jun 12th 2008 8:09AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/12/mossberg-reviews-samsung-instinct-accidentally-previews-iphone/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/12/mossberg-reviews-samsung-instinct-accidentally-previews-iphone/Jun 12th 2008 8:39AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/12/mossberg-reviews-samsung-instinct-accidentally-previews-iphone/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/12/mossberg-reviews-samsung-instinct-accidentally-previews-iphone/Jun 12th 2008 5:45AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/12/mossberg-reviews-samsung-instinct-accidentally-previews-iphone/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/12/mossberg-reviews-samsung-instinct-accidentally-previews-iphone/

Even by my standards, Walt Mossberg has too much fanwankery for Apple for me to trust him.
He actually thought iMovie '08 was a decent upgrade to iMovie HD.
Even David Pogue didn't like iMovie '08.]]>Jun 12th 2008 5:50AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/12/mossberg-reviews-samsung-instinct-accidentally-previews-iphone/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/12/mossberg-reviews-samsung-instinct-accidentally-previews-iphone/
Side note:
I do prefer iMovie '08 since I never cared to do videography in iMovie but just wanted store my videos on my computer in a handy library. Final Cut Express "replaced" iMovie HD--iMovie '08 is a new beast.]]>Jun 12th 2008 11:20AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/12/mossberg-reviews-samsung-instinct-accidentally-previews-iphone/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/12/mossberg-reviews-samsung-instinct-accidentally-previews-iphone/Jun 12th 2008 5:51AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/12/mossberg-reviews-samsung-instinct-accidentally-previews-iphone/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/12/mossberg-reviews-samsung-instinct-accidentally-previews-iphone/

Yeah, but then we would have article after article glowingly mentioning the Treo no matter what the article is about..

And about the review, well I see the reason for a comparison, but the fanboyism was just too much, it's as if he was doing a review of the Instinct with no Instinct and an iPhone]]>Jun 12th 2008 10:27AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/12/mossberg-reviews-samsung-instinct-accidentally-previews-iphone/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/12/mossberg-reviews-samsung-instinct-accidentally-previews-iphone/Jun 12th 2008 5:53AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/12/mossberg-reviews-samsung-instinct-accidentally-previews-iphone/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/12/mossberg-reviews-samsung-instinct-accidentally-previews-iphone/

Sorry for my spelling, i am using the iphone :-)]]>Jun 12th 2008 7:13AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/12/mossberg-reviews-samsung-instinct-accidentally-previews-iphone/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/12/mossberg-reviews-samsung-instinct-accidentally-previews-iphone/
The HTC Touch Diamond had more real buttons. This may not be important to you but it's better than all touchscreen. It uses Hardware accelerated GUI, and a damn good one at that. I personally prefer it UI over the iPhone. It's practically usable without a stylus but it has the option for those of us who prefer it in certain applications.

It's got more programs available, and more games available. You have to realize that as far as the OS goes Windows Mobile is much more powerful and more geared towards the mobile computer. The iPhone is just a pretty device. ]]>Jun 12th 2008 7:55AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/12/mossberg-reviews-samsung-instinct-accidentally-previews-iphone/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/12/mossberg-reviews-samsung-instinct-accidentally-previews-iphone/Jun 12th 2008 5:56AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/12/mossberg-reviews-samsung-instinct-accidentally-previews-iphone/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/12/mossberg-reviews-samsung-instinct-accidentally-previews-iphone/Jun 12th 2008 6:08AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/12/mossberg-reviews-samsung-instinct-accidentally-previews-iphone/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/12/mossberg-reviews-samsung-instinct-accidentally-previews-iphone/Jun 12th 2008 6:16AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/12/mossberg-reviews-samsung-instinct-accidentally-previews-iphone/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/12/mossberg-reviews-samsung-instinct-accidentally-previews-iphone/Jun 12th 2008 7:53AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/12/mossberg-reviews-samsung-instinct-accidentally-previews-iphone/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/12/mossberg-reviews-samsung-instinct-accidentally-previews-iphone/Jun 12th 2008 6:16AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/12/mossberg-reviews-samsung-instinct-accidentally-previews-iphone/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/12/mossberg-reviews-samsung-instinct-accidentally-previews-iphone/Jun 12th 2008 6:50AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/12/mossberg-reviews-samsung-instinct-accidentally-previews-iphone/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/12/mossberg-reviews-samsung-instinct-accidentally-previews-iphone/Jun 12th 2008 6:38AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/12/mossberg-reviews-samsung-instinct-accidentally-previews-iphone/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/12/mossberg-reviews-samsung-instinct-accidentally-previews-iphone/Jun 12th 2008 6:43AM
