| The Bottom Line | The Samsung Instinct S30 has its good points, but Samsung and Sprint missed the opportunity to make a better device. | The Samsung Instinct stands out as one of Sprint's finest devices to date. It's just too bad its call quality could use some improvement. | The Samsung Instinct HD packs a lot of features and decent performance into an appealing design. But even with all it has to offer, we'd prefer to pay less and get a full smartphone. | While it could use a boost in the performance department, the HTC Hero is the most feature-packed Google Android device to date, bringing some notable improvements and a highly customizable interface. | The LG Optimus S is an affordable yet full-featured Android smartphone for Sprint, but we did wish the call quality were better. |
