Samsung's curvy new Instinct S30 for Sprint review
Nice body design, good text input, great voice search...Slower 3G, UI still feels awkward...In terms of pure physical design, the new Samsung Instinct S30 has very little in common with the original Instinct except for the large touchscreen display...The S30 features gently rounded corners, sweeping curves, and a new color scheme that makes it look quite different from the plain...
