Might Switch to Samsung Instinct

[stifiling]

i do believe the instinct is classified as a pda. The iphone is, and the website is illustrating how the instinct beats the iphone. I don't think a non-pda phone is gonna be beating a pda phone at anything anytime soon.

If it's not a pda what do we call it? i see ruben there gave it the name (similar to the voyager.) Not too sure that's the column it's under lol. so what category do we put it in??

face it, its not a pda... not even close, it doesnt come with apps to keep ones life organized, and im sorry but an iphone isnt really a pda (sorry to burst your bubble) i dont care what a "website" says, the iphone is a MEDIA phone, its basically an ipod that can make calls and thats really it. you cant truely use an iphone for work like you could with all the win mobile devices out. the instinct is simply another media phone, the only thing about the phone that is really appealing to a customer is the fact that its a full touch screen device similiar to the iphone, but NOT a pda. by the way, i doubt that the phone is going to be better than the iphone as well.. ive seen it in action- nothing special. if you want a category to put the phone in, id say drop it in the 'only amatures call this a pda" category lol

It might not do everything you can currently do with WM, but I'd still call it a PDA.

Email/Contacts/Calendar are the essential PDA functions. Other features are really just extras. And the iPhone does have other features. With its second round of firmware, it will even sync with Exchange servers, so I don't see how it's not a PDA.

That said, I agree that they are weaker devices. But they do have their strengths, and I'd certainly call them a PDA.

well im pretty sure EVERY phone has contacts bedoig... and most have a calendar of some sort. but i do agree that the iphone is somewhat of a pda- to an extent; but my point is, when one thinks of an iphone, they only want it for the media features.. look at the commercials. facebook, youtube, mp3, camera, safari browser... if someone was in the market looking for a true pda, they wouldnt seriously consider an iphone because thats not what it's main purpose was intended for it to do, its like comparing a mac to a pc.. mac is all flashy and easy for customers to use (some say), while you actually can do real work with a pc. case in point: the MAIN purpose of a pda is to actually assist in organizing ones personal and work life, and THAT is how i qualify what a pda is. An iphone definately doesnt fit that description when it comes for a main purpose, even though it can... to an extent

Mus agree, i don't view them as pda's either. but fact still remains...that's what they're classified as.

and check the list again. i don't think the 'only amatures call this a pda" category is there.

keepin it all real yo opinion really aint even mattering. peepin how u spelled amatuer wrong. u aint no geek homeboy stick to snatching purses.
