The "iPhone Killer" term itself is moronic for me. Seems the same number of people that said "wow" when the iPhone was announced was comparable with the numbers that said, "let's copy the idea and shut them (apple) down!"
Don't get me wrong, as much as I think the iPhone and the whole touch screen thing is pretty cool, I'm not an owner of one and doubt I'll ever be. They have to make it better first. Plus, there's something to be said for physical buttons when writing notes/texts/emails.
... and when I say "better" I mean it's facilities. The fact the iphone has a fantastic user interface is marred by the lack of basic funtions. These include.
No forwarding of texts
No MMS
No sharing of files via bluetooth
No syncing of to do notes
poor camera with no video for an expensive device
All of which are found on 75% of basic handsets from all brands.
Still, you can't deny it's got them all making their own versions. It is a great media phone though, just the actual phone part sux
so every phone at the barcelona show is an iphone "killer". or wannabe iphone killer.
