Sprint continues their Instinct vs iPhone ad campaign with the latest targeting AT&T's 3G coverage. In a rather entertaining ad, the two phones are stationery as they place toppings on a cupcake. The voiceover asks, "INSTINCT vs iPhone, which has a larger 3G network." The ad concludes with the announcer proclaiming "More high speed coverage. Instinct's got it, iPhone doesn't."
Whichever camp you're in, these are entertaining ads .

PC World's tests confirm what most Instinct owners already know: the battery lasts for quite a while longer than those of many other so-called Smart Phones. The only phone to have a longer lasting battery, the Apple iPhone, boasts an average of just five minutes more talk-time.

However, the iPhone has no removable battery, so once you reach that threshold, you're done talking; a problem Instinct owners don't have. While iPhone users would be scrambling for a charge after the 5 hours and 38 minutes, Instinct owners need to just flip the cover open and replace the battery with a fresh one and VOILA! You're back to talking for another 5 hours!
