Proud of what?

The low-res jpg of the idiot grinning? If youre going to copy (and wait a year to release it) at least try to improve on that which you are copying.

@Rjay - that's not really fair. All you get to see is a low rez youtube video. Maybe the Nokia will be 3G. I say good for them, let them copy it. Hopefully it will be $300 or less and easily unlocked.

It might be available unlocked! Thats a major improvement over an iPhone straight away.

Also it would most likely be available world wide.

Does it hurt yet Cupertino?

[enemes @ Aug 29th 2007 12:59PM]

and it will most likely have better radio and overall phone function. this is where iPhone fails miserably.

It is illegal in Finland to sell phones locked to a provider, and all phones must be unlocked. So, if it is coming from Nokia, there will be no service provider lock-in. That evil job is left to T-Mobile and other companies that sell Nokia phones in the U.S. ;)

This phone looks exactly like the iPhone, I wonder if it's a spoof or fake video.

Nokia could easily make a phone that competes with the iPhone on features. For one thing, they can make the screen longer, give us a higher ppi than what the iPhone has .. give us 800px width minimally.
Now features I think they can add because they arent Apple's inventions are:

Kinetic scrolling (grab & drag)- Existed in Adobe & even Microsoft tablet products. Also, firefox has had a plugin called grab and drag for the last few years.

Accelerometer based "right side up" technology - This existed in the MyOrigo touchscreen phone (from Finland).

Multi touch on a zoomable UI - This has existed for before, though I am not sure if it existed on a phone.

Different touch gestures - Not sure if all these are owned by Apple .. if so an alternate is to use spiral to zoom instead of pinch .. maybe edge/center dragging etc.

GPS - They can add GPS

Videoconferencing - They should add easy videoconferencing (AT&T Video Share) and "show you what I am seeing" features. This is good for tech support and maybe other stuff.

Touchscreen phones were being asked for on the net by many people but the existing players refused to listen and make a decent one.

Come on, it's easy to compete with iPhone.

"Different touch gestures - Not sure if all these are owned by Apple"

The very idea that someone could own, or think they own, a gesture makes me feel sick. What next, medieval archers suing Churchill for the 'V' Sign?
