what's up prize five fans I'm Brian Tong and you've all been asking for this one it's a battle between the heaviest hitting touchscreen phones on the market in this week's prize fight it's a showdown Throwdown between the Samsung instinct and the Apple iPhone 3G you know the drill it's five rounds to the finish and round one goons bring the sexy the Samsung instinct has a slim profile and it's a sexy phone with the problem the iPhone 3G is the epitome of sexy the iPhones body oh it's worth more than a double take and it's curved booty is hot let's just put it this way if the instinct is Jennifer Aniston then the iPhone 3G is Angelina Jolie now you feel me the iPhone 3G strikes first with up of five and the instinct gets a four we like the sexy but we also want it easy to use next round is navigation when it comes to ease of use the iPhone 3GS interface is straight gorgeous it just makes sense when you pick it up it's multi touching at its best and the touchscreen is super responsive now the instinct has an easy-to-use interface and the menus look great with the touch screen and keyboard just aren't as responsive and snappy as the iPhone 3G the iPhone gets the edge again up with a 5 and the instinct gets a 4 now after two rounds the iPhone 3G is sitting pretty with a ten to eight lead round three coming up it's all about the features the iPhone is loaded with Wi-Fi GPS and Bluetooth and the iTunes App Store makes the development possibilities endless now the instinct lacks Wi-Fi but it makes up for it with a full GPS solution and all those basic features that are missing from the iPhone like multimedia messaging voice dialing and stereo Bluetooth it really comes down to weight the iPhones Wi-Fi and App Store versus the core features that instinct is bringing this one's so close but the instinct up gets the 5 and the iPhone 3G gets the four Samsung is getting its legs back and the next round is all about who's packing the multimedia Samson's instinct handles music just fine now their sprint TV service is a nice add-on but the video quality just doesn't cut it for me and the web browsing experience this standard like most cell phones it's kind of cramped and it's clunky Apple's iPhone 3G is multimedia on a cell phone at its highest level now the music quality is great and sure there is no live TV service but the video quality is so ridiculous that watching a full-length movie is straight-up enjoyable oh yeah it's also the best web browsing experience on a phone hands-down the iPhone 3G throws another heavy blow with the 5 and the Samsung instinct does an admirable job with 4 now going into the final round Apple's prized possession leads 19 to 17 it ain't over till it's over the final round is called quality the instinct has good call quality overall but we did run into some background noise and some of our calls sounded uneven now the iPhone 3G has significantly improved its sound from the original model but it still isn't perfect either plus those drop calls they're still happening this is the round that decides it all and we're handing out fours to everyone making the iPhone 3G your prize fight winner Apple came out swinging early and Samsung was never able to get over the hump I'm Brian Tong thanks for watching and we'll catch you guys next time on another prize fight
