  The image is wrong. According to a post in the reddit thread, as well as Samsung's own website, Samsung unveiled that phone in February 2007, one month after Apple showed the iPhone. Looking at Samsung's photos, I do not see how it's possible for anyone to say that Apple was copying them. Samsung probably can make a case on the home screen format(4 icons, bottom row, etc.), but the overall design is quite different. The F700 has a physical keyboard. http://www.samsung.com/us/news/newsRead.do?news_seq=3516 http://www.samsung.com/us/news/newsRead.do?news_seq=3516

  The LG Prada is perhaps a better comparison? http://www.gsmarena.com/lg_ke850_prada-3d-spin-1828.php http://www.gsmarena.com/lg_ke850_prada-3d-spin-1828.php Looks very similar from the outside, and was definitely demoed before the iPhone. In fact, from a 2007 report: > One analyst asked the executives whether they plan to sue Apple as some reports have suggested over design similarities with the iPhone: LG executive Chang Ma replied: "Should we? (laughs) Obviously, we are introducing this touch screen first [since the Prada phone will be available in Europe next month]... we are much more faster realizing and launching products in the market [than Apple]. But LG is targeting a different customer than Apple." http://www.fiercewireless.com/story/lg-prada-shine-windows-mobile-6/2007-02-12 http://www.fiercewireless.com/story/lg-prada-shine-windows-m...
