No iPhone
but if it will record video, allow me to send MMS, and copy & paste, right out of the box. I'll buy it.

Not very comparable
You neglect to mention a few other disadvantages of the Instinct when compared to the iPhone:
- No multi-touch touchscreen
- 50% lower resolution screen
- 13% smaller screen
- little built-in RAM, max of 8GB card (at extra cost)
- 30% shorter battery life (hence the need for the second battery)
- no accelerometers
- No iPod ecosystem of 3rd party peripherals
etc

Pretty sad that all Samsung can do is make such a poor imitation of the iPhone really. Come on Samsung - how about some originality?

Multi touch
you don't mention multi touch, so I assume the screen is just old plain single touch screen. Multi touch screen and gestures is where the iPhone is far ahead of any single touch : )

Correction: iPhone touchscreen is capacitive
The article incorrectly states the iPhone touchscreen uses heat.

It is a capacitive model, meaning it detects a finger drawing off current from an electric field over the screen.
