I hate this phone...idk why, just my opinion though.
And I shouldnt say hate. I just would never ever ever buy this. Too much of a failed iPhone attempt. The touch screen wasnt even working half the time "/

Doesn't look all that appealing to me. It's definitely better than some of the cheapos we've seen, but still. And, ack, Windows Mobile? Give me OS X.

You know my friend says that these companies making iPhone copies are just try to make good competition, but I am sorry I just see this as not having any creativity. Just looks like Samsung saw how good the iPhone did and tried to copy it. In my personal opinion I feel this just makes Samsung (or whoever tries this) look a little less creative.

This phone would have been sweet! If I never owned an iPhone.

Not to be a homer but the iPhone is so much better mostly because of the touch screen interface, imho.

Being able to click and choose icons and buttons so quick is what makes the iPhone great. I couldn't imagine trying to text on the samsung. Did I read that right, you have to actually push on the screen rather than touch the screen?

If there was never an iPhone, there wouldn't be this phone.

Just looking at this demo, it appears the touch screen is not nearly as responsive or fluid as the iphone, looks like he has to press it with some pressure, and in 1 or 2 instances he had to repress the screen to get the app to work. Im not impressed.
