Apparently Samsung has released an iPhone clone, also being called the SCH-W420 AnyCall Haptic. WTF? Here’s a thought, make the name something people can actually pronounce. For instance, just call it the Haptic and drop the SCH-W420 mumbo-jumbo. This is coming from the same folks who brought this to market. Wow. ET phone home.
This thing is a physically aesthetic iPhone rip-off. Rounded edges, metallic bezel, oblong ear speaker. Check out the commercial on YouTube here:
Yeah, like that’s not at all a rip-off of the flick feature on the iPhone. Very original guys. Way to innovate. Keep up the good work.
Can I tell you why the iPhone will continue to be successful? Great. It’s not just the touch interface, and it’s not just the minimalist design. Those were easy. You can put anything in a pretty box. The reason the iPhone will continue to be successful is the software. The applications. The friggin’ interface. Bokay? Now get back to your labs, and go do something creative. I’ll be waiting.

I’m not a fan of either phone… But here is the biggest difference. Touch screen on the iPhone goes out, you are SOL. Touch Screen on the Samsung, the screen pops up for a QWERTY keyboard. At least you can still make a call.
Either way, they are not crackberries!
…aye???
If you’re gonna write about how the Haptic is an iPhone ‘clone’, you might as well write about how the iPhone is an LG Prada ‘clone’, because then the iPhone is also a ‘rip off’… But you probably won’t do that because your writing already shows bias.
…dissapointing mate :/
True, I won’t deny that the full touchscreen capabilities of the iPhone were very similar to the Prada phone, but the software from Apple was lightyears beyond that which was in the LG phone. Thanks for the comment Don.
