    Yup. Nokia practically stole everything good about the iPhone to make this phone. Everyone can see it's practically identical to the iPhone, and Nokia's not doubting it.

    When pressed during the Q&A about the striking similarity to the little Cupertino device, Anssi Vanjoki -- Nokia's Executive VP & General Manager of Multimedia -- said, "If there is something good in the world then we copy with pride."


    So, is this right? Link

      For once I am speechless.

      Not really, you guys aren't that lucky.

      I'll say this at least. If it costs less than $600, and has most iPhone features intact and working pretty much the same... then there's a winner. I'm happy with my phone and only being able to call/text people, though. I don't need all the bells and whistles thrown in.

        Is it right, as in is it morally right? Of course not. However, this is a business, and Apple raised the standards of all future phones with its own iPhone - it's only natural that the trend would follow suit, though I am very surprised that Nokia's already revealed it. Who are they trying to kid?

          Morals? It's the business world. We, the consumers, are the winners here. Take a good idea, make it better, release it for less money.

          Sony is the exception because they don't do anything right and they make it cost too much. :rolleyes:

            Agree with WD.
            That phone in youtube video kicks ass.
