Sharp camera and HD camcorder. HD playback over HDMI really works. Capacitive touch screen. Plenty of media features. Wi-Fi.
Very poor battery life. Takes a long time to boot up. Proprietary HD cable not in the box. Buggy media players. Expensive.
The Samsung Instinct HD has a novel feature set and can record and display HD video (at least on an external screen), but several issues combine to make it a bit frustrating to use....
Price is high for what you get, UI has changed little in this 3rd gen. Instinct.
The Instinct HD builds nicely on the original Instinct with evolutionary improvements and a darned good video camera. It's a fun phone with plenty of features and it offers strong voice quality though only middling reception. In the end it's the I...

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.

Abstract: Samsung has teamed exclusively with Sprint to bring out a phone called Instinct, and it’s anything but basic. While the lemmings are following the iPhone 3G, Samsung is striking out of the smartphone pack with features that rise above even what the 3G ...
Samsung did a solid job on the Samsung Instinct; you have to admire the extensive feature list you get for the price. But with iPhone prices about to tumble even as Apple's hardware improves, the Instinct doesn't shape up as an iPhone killer....
Regardless of whether it was intentional or not, the Instinct HD is targeted for a select group of individuals. Digital media fans? The Instinct HD is for you. Road warriors and those that e-mail or text message on a consistent basis? Probably not, du...
