Thank Goodness! A real Rev-A machine. Who cares if it pisses off all the iphonies who had their wireless turtle copied. (the iphone is like owning a corvette with a Briggs and Stratton under the hood)Nothing will be the killer of the Apple iphone.But it is easy to kill that short fall excuse of a data network that ATT Mobility currently has in operation.

There is no iPhone killer and I am sorry you don't know much about HSPA/UMTS/3G. Least you were 1/2 right.

This could be a real Iphone killer. But it must not only have the look and feel of the Iphone it must also give the user those capabilities not included with the Iphone. I speak first and most definately of its need for full WiFi access to the Internet. This must include open internet access to the Skype phone system. This Skype access would make it a real compeditor to the Iphone which does not have this capability.

Agree. Apple is some how ignoring the use of Skype. Implementing Skype in iPhone and letting go the "AT&Tmonopoly" can be Apple's biggest breakthrough with iPhone.

By not including the ON2 codecs/HANTRO chips for video "ANYWHERE ANYTIME" and ignoring SKYPE, Jobs is once again sabotaging the Iphone. I wonder if its a childhood trait thats causing him to be selfish.?. If so, it could be the costliest mistake for Apple!.

Big icons and a touchscreen do not an iphone make. These "iphone killers" completely miss the point: Usability and functionality are at the heart of the iphone, not simply visual design.

Yes! By all outward appearances this looks good...but in order to be well received, it will have to have the best features from the iphone UI, and best the feature set/functionality of the Mogul (e.g. Bluetooth2.0[class 1??], WIFI, GPS, Modem, and yes skype capability, along with significant memory and a WM6 or better OS. If they want to make a real splash, they will bundle it with a special service package that includes the unlimited deal plus the phone as Modem at a better price point then the 99 + 40!!

when will people understand that iconic is iconic and cant be re-created or duplicated, remember all the "RAZR Killers"? the only thing that killed the RAZR was time ~ 4 years to be exact, the iPhone is a completely different experience that is second to none and that doesnt even factor in the the poor network quality Sprint subscribers experience which is why they quartley numbers are always loss' and they stock price is less than a can of Cola

iPhone is different ball game...Only Apple can deliver. This clone or others can never match up to iPhone. It is like buying a knockoff Rolex watch in the streets of Beijing - it looks the same, BUT...
