Sprint is getting ready for the fight of its life with the Samsung Instinct. While I actually like the Instinct, they’re trying to take Stevie head on, which is probably not a good idea. Generally, however, these videos are pretty cute and it’s nice to know CDMA folks can get themselves some iPhone-alikeness… unless the 3G iPhone is CDMA.

Sprint has a long row to hoe here. The Instinct is a strong phone with a great new interface, so I have no problem with it. However, doing a head-to-head against everyone’s favorite big hunk of chrome is going to be rough, especially as reviews come in. At least they’re being funny about it.
