Actually this would crush the iPhone going purely on stats. It claims to have HSDPA, GPS, 8GB storage + micro SD,5 Megapix cam, 3.5" Screen and Wifi. If I walked into an AT&T Store and saw both of these it would be no competition. I hope it comes to the US.
I think it would be a little ignorant to assume that everything of this form factor is copying the Apple iPhone. The HTC Wallaby is a GSM smartphone featuring a large colour touchscreen display covering almost the entire front face, with smoothed edges surrounding it. As with the iPhone, the simple-to-use touch interface allows Internet browsing, music listening and the installation of many other apps. The big difference, however, is that the HTC Wallaby was first sold in 2002, five full years before the iPhone.

i agree plh. going on just stats, this AND the ks20 crushes the iphone. the interfaces aren't as smooth but under the hood, there's no competition.
