While iSheep wet their knickers more and more over the Apple Phone, Sony just keep pushing out their fine products for the real consumer. Awesome range keeps getting better. --
Thanks for the free advertising, but this Sony phone isn't in the same category as iPhone. See the tactile keys? They're not directly competing products whatsoever. iPhone only competes with iPhone knock-offs. Like the Prada phone. Which costs $800.
Mikey Mikey Mikey, you clearly missed the point - totally. I see no attempt whatsoever to compare this to that, but a statement that SE produce good phones for real people rather than expensive gimmicks for the few people with a very large wad of folding burning a hole in their pocket. The Apple Phone is an overpriced Fisher-Price entertainment centre for "adults" (sic).
As for your LG/Prada barb, ALL the evidence points to Apple being the ones doing a bit of copying (unless they have invented a time machine, that is). Prada launched in December. Apple's similar phone was just announced a month later and will not be on sale until months and months after the Korean. What evidence do you have of LG's guilt?
And Apple copying a competitor? Where have we heard that one before? (Take your pick from regular occurrences ever since people like you thought they invented the PMP.)
