iPhone competitor launch confirmed: who’s nervous?

Official word from Samsung is the Instinct — touted as the best positioned competitor of the iPhone — will hit the shelves at Sprint’s retail stores on June 20th.

Instinct’s series of ads feature a head to head combat of the iPhone and Instinct on various popular features — such as internet access, live TV, GPS, video shooting, music downloads, etc. — with the Instinct as the clear winner.

Touted as an “amazing touch screen phone with a Network to back it up,” the Instinct is ready to go head to head with everyone’s favorite phone from Apple. Samsung’s biggest concern should be that it is taking aim at a moving target. Apple is soon to announce the iPhone v2 -– and not only do we believe it will feature vast improvements in its current specs, but also include entirely new enticements -GPS anyone?.
