There was a full touch screen phone that predated the iphone, the LG prada, but if you look at the demo you can see in some places they arrived at a similar design (the dialer), in others they had a laughably bad design (T9 text message entry on the touch screen) and overall it was very unresponsive. The iphone didn’t just have the right touch ui concepts, it executed them really well.

- ksec 5y agoYes I even had one, the LG Prada. Along with other Smartphone like Sony Ericsson P800, or O2 XDA which was similar to LG Prada but way earlier, I think it was 2002. They were based on Windows Mobile. And some other PDAs before that. The O2 XDA were built by HTC ,at the time they were like Foxconn doing ODM before it became a consumer brand. There were lots and lots of other small details that Apple got it right. And I said it the first time I saw the iPhone, what sets them apart was Apple was trying to make an iPhone like an Appliance. While all other Smartphones was trying to cramp a computer inside a Phone factor. The day I saw iPhone I knew that was it. The Smartphone I have been looking for. Strange it is 15 years already. I still dont know why the Visual Voicemail patents had not expired. It really should be the standard on all network.
