Guess Nokia's dropped the ball...

Probably too married to the awfulness that is current cell phone design to dare
create anything too cool. Either way, I'm sure the UI on such a device will suck
ass.

There's a reason there's only one iPhone: It's not easy to create a cool device
that's actually usable.

Getting ahead of yourself, are you?

For something that hasn't even made it to market, your condemnation of the UI is a wee bit premature... don'tcha think?

But then again, what more can be expected from an Apple Fanboi?

Um... you're implying that the iPhone is an original device, but it's not. Many devices had the same design concept and touch screen, like the LG Prada WHICH DOESN'T GET ENOUGH CREDIT. The only reason the iPhone got so much attention is because of the fact that it came from Apple.

First of all, the iphone is not even a new implementation of new technology, nor is it the only device with a good UI. It is simply the most advertised and therefore overhyped. Also, this reminds me of a concept firs seen with NTT DoCoMo, a Japanese WCDMA and 1seg provider which had one ordinary tft and one touchscreen. And you morons need to open your eyes and stop following crapple like it's your god or something. There has not been an original apple device for a decade. Apple only buys their technology anyway.
