The Bottom Line	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 Samsung Instinct S30 has its good points, but Samsung and Sprint missed the opportunity to make a better device.	Despite some design issues and a couple of missing features, the Motorola Droid is the most powerful and fastest Google Android device to date. It fully embraces the openness of the Android platform and offers Verizon customers a smartphone that certainly rivals the other touch-screen devices on the market.
