</div>Fun, but comparing apples and oranges. The iPhone UI design is stellar. Yes,<br>
it has warts, but less than anything else on the market.<br>
</blockquote></div><br>I saw the Samsung Instinct touchscreen phone in the US. Like other phones here, it has been crippled, but I was dismayed to see the similarities between its UI and the one in OM 2008.8 / Qtopia. <br>
<br>Noteworthy aspects: It has a usable Shelf, call management features work instantaneously, it has useful buttons like volume control, call pickup/dialer, etc., and has a GPS navigation system with voice prompts that works. Ah, and a tactile response system - all keypresses - virtual and real - invoke a tiny vibration.<br>
<br>Overall a pretty good phone, but yes, crippled.<br></div>
