Why does every touchscreen device have to be an "iPhone imitator"? Yes, the iPhone is cool and a great phone and everything. But seriously, how many different ways can you make a touch screen? Its pretty limited to a big flat rectangle with as few buttons as possible. Would a star-shaped touchscreen be practical or pocketable? no.

No, I'm not an "Apple/iPhone hater." Yes, I'll probably switch from Verizon to get the iP2. But, I'm just saying lets get serious, a touchscreen is a touchscreen, not an iPhone wannabe.

It's not because it has a touchscreen... LOOK AT THE PICTURE! Thats a god damn iPhone with a Nokia label...

For the other people commenting, the common features missing on the iPhone such as MMS, video recording, and A2DP will no doubt be available soon, whether from Apple or a 3rd party via the SDK. Nokia usually makes nice hardware and I'm sure this Iphone wannabe will be nicer than all the other attempts, but I think iPhone 3G will still be better for most. Over the next year or two, the iPhone platform will most likely become incredibly successful as well, and lead many to switch over from Windows mobile and Symbian.

Loosely_coupled, you phail. If you're going to be so damn adamant about something, at least be right. It's what Nokia whipped up a while back just to show it's fledgling Touch OS.

Again, you phail.

Also, did you not see that this device is missing that lone button that that iPhone has?
