Sprint today announced the Samsung Instinct s30, a follow-up to one of their best-selling phones ever, the Samsung Instinct M800. The Instinct s30 will bridge the gap between feature phones and smart phones by offering third-party programmers unusually free access to its features, according to Sprint.
On the surface, the Instinct s30 looks a lot like a rounded Instinct M800. The two devices are almost exactly the same size, though the s30 is lighter – 3.9 ounces rather than 4.2 ounces. Both devices are dominated by big 3.2″, 240×432 touch screens. Both have 2-megapixel cameras, both use Sprint’s 3G network to connect to the Internet, and both support visual voicemail and Sprint’s streaming video and downloadable music services.
The s30 comes with the Opera Mini 4.2 Web browser, but you can download that onto the old Instinct, too. The s30 also comes with instant messaging built in. Considering that our major complaints about the M800 were about the Web browser and IM, these are very good changes to make.
Just like the M800, the s30 has a Speech to Action button, which allows users to access a wide range of functions with voice commands, including GPS navigation.
