Can another device compete with the iPhone?

It was only a matter of time till the major phone vendors began to squeeze their brains out to create smart devices meant to live the iPhone with some dust in its eyes.I don't really know if this is really possible on a large scale, but at least in USA people would probably buy devices that have the iPhone's features and another phone carrier(other than AT&T).The smart phones announced for release till now are not even close to the wonderful look the iPhone is proud of.High Tech Computer has the Touch. A bad name in my opinion for a device that can't compete to the iPhone's touchscreen. You can see a picture of this device at: http://www.computerworld.com/action/article.do?command=viewArticleBasic&articleId=9023418Samsung Group will release its Ultra Smart F700 which could compete a little with the iPhone. It has a wide touchscreen but it also has a pull-down QWERTY keyboard that makes it loose, in my opinion. A positive thing about it is that it has 3G support with speeds as high as 7.2Mbit/sec. It doesn't have the elegant look of an iPhone and I sincerely wonder if anyone else but Apple could come up with this sort of catchy look.To conclude, in terms of design and wonderful touchscreens iPhone is a winner and will probably be for a long time, in terms of phone carriers other devices will increase their value by allowing users to put exactly what they want on their devices and sign a contract for as long as they want.Maybe they shouldn't try to copy Apple's iPhone- no imitation can be as good as the original product, this is a fact- but to come up with something else, something original that the iPhone doesn't have and didn't think of having.
