Samsung Instinct s30 review

3 May 2009 vin

8 out of 10

As a practical phone, the s30 works well. Great keyboard, signal(6 bars in my apartment) and battery life. For its features the size and weight are impressive.

Using the phone to watch streaming TV reminded me of the 200x 200 vidoes of garbage quality appearing 15+ years ago. Complete with artifacts and 1-2 second freezes in picture. However, with the microSD card slot you can import your own videos including .hkvs. I recommend finding out how to re-encode your own .hkvs to fit the phone specifications(240 x 432 @ 15FPS). The microSD feature is the reason I didn't get an iphone.

No use for or way to remove the NFL and Nascar buttons. However I can add/remove myspace/facebook/photobucket/youtube/online albums even though I have no use for any of them. Most people would like the option to remove NFL and Nascar.

In the games/applications section nothing is free. Since only the Instinct uses this Operating Systems not many people are jumping to develop software. There's only 15-20 games/applications available with a slim chance of many more being added ever.

Pros

microSD Reader
headphone out
well functioning phone

Cons

No Wifi support
Limited applications
Failure OS
