ok ok, heavily inspired though (as for the looks), but for the software it's another story.

feel free to either lowrank me or not, i'm just telling my opinion though.

You mean on the front of the device? - No in the exact middle of the device, unlike the G1, etc.

...and the G1 speaker, and the HTC Hero Speaker, and virtually every other smartphone speaker in existence. - Yes, so your admitting it's like the iPhone

Um.. no... There's at least 4 buttons lining the top on that picture and as far as I know the iphone has a
total of 2 other buttons than the main big one(also missing) - I said " style ". Get it right

Holding up my G1 to this picture reveals it's the same ratio as that as well. So it's a copy of both? - Are you actually that stupid to hold up your phone to an angled picture and compare it's proportions?

I still want my prize - -]]>Jul 16th 2009 4:32PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/16/optima-op5-e-mid-first-non-nokia-mid-to-run-maemo/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/16/optima-op5-e-mid-first-non-nokia-mid-to-run-maemo/"and a portrait default orientation"

i LOLed on that!
i cant see that to be a strong argument. and people here are just implying that the physical design (not the interface) is a dead-ringer to the iPhone. but yeah, that doesn't necessarily mean that it should be a 1:1 clone. heck, even the clones in the KIRFdom aren't EXACTLY same with the real deal, and doesn't need so while they still can receive KIRF seal of approval.

btw back on the topic, looks like Maemo got a big potential. but in the meantime, i personally think that WebOS is the way to go (as for the linux-flavoured OS of choice for mobile platform).

--and yet just like many other smartphones/PMP's(including the sony-erikson one that's a couple posts down from this one)

--along with every other smartphone on the market, yes.

--"style"? It only shows them from the side. All you can see of them is that there are, in fact, buttons.

-- then where are you getting the comparison to the iPhone ratio from?]]>Jul 16th 2009 4:39PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/16/optima-op5-e-mid-first-non-nokia-mid-to-run-maemo/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/16/optima-op5-e-mid-first-non-nokia-mid-to-run-maemo/Jul 16th 2009 4:43PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/16/optima-op5-e-mid-first-non-nokia-mid-to-run-maemo/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/16/optima-op5-e-mid-first-non-nokia-mid-to-run-maemo/Jul 16th 2009 4:45PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/16/optima-op5-e-mid-first-non-nokia-mid-to-run-maemo/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/16/optima-op5-e-mid-first-non-nokia-mid-to-run-maemo/"...the physical design (not the interface) is a dead-ringer to the iPhone. but yeah, that doesn't necessarily mean that it should be a 1:1 clone."

"...so apparently those KIRF iPhone looks..."

so nope, i can't see Nilay had stated anything like "things that make this an iPhone knockoff" anywhere as u claim. he's just merely implying that it got a resemblance (on unspecified scale) of KIRF iPhone looks, and that's all.

so please, read again.]]>Jul 16th 2009 4:58PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/16/optima-op5-e-mid-first-non-nokia-mid-to-run-maemo/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/16/optima-op5-e-mid-first-non-nokia-mid-to-run-maemo/Jul 16th 2009 5:05PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/16/optima-op5-e-mid-first-non-nokia-mid-to-run-maemo/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/16/optima-op5-e-mid-first-non-nokia-mid-to-run-maemo/btw just give it up already, it's just a phone.]]>Jul 16th 2009 5:15PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/16/optima-op5-e-mid-first-non-nokia-mid-to-run-maemo/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/16/optima-op5-e-mid-first-non-nokia-mid-to-run-maemo/Jul 16th 2009 4:04PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/16/optima-op5-e-mid-first-non-nokia-mid-to-run-maemo/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/16/optima-op5-e-mid-first-non-nokia-mid-to-run-maemo/
