No, it's not an iPhone and frankly I think mobile phone companies are getting it all wrong.
The iPhone touch screen is not the thing to emulate and frankly touch screens suck for the reasons already outlined here on engadget. The thing they should be copying is an intuitive, ergonomic software/hardware interface.
We'll all benefit if they start doing that and I don't think they should be shamed for trying. Blatant ripoffs suck but I'd still accept that over my Treo700p's antiquated interface.
Say what you will about apple or the iPhone but we'll all benefit from a new round of UIs.
Many of the other commenters are speaking the truth. It's not even the same size of rectangle as the iPhone. Cellphone design trends are heading towards full-screen, touchscreen and thin. Following trends != copying.

Yeah, but it's no iPhone...
Seriously though, that's very nice looking. I like the slipcase, makes it look very posh.
I wonder what OS is on it? WM6 or Symbian?
