it's basically an iPhone clone, which will allow them to remain in the market for a short while longer.

  You're aware the iPhone wasn't the first full screen touch-based smartphone on the market, right? Apart from that, what exactly the Storm 'cloning'? Or is 'cloning' some new slang for providing a ton of functionality which is either non-existent or broken on the iPhone?

    by clone, i mean it offers the same thing that the iPhone already does. it's practically a genetically identical. i mean if it could only connect to itunes seamlessly...

      Let's see. Product X comes out with functionality A. Product Y comes out with functionality A, B and C. Product Y is therefore a clone, because it offers a superset of the features? But hey, let's apply your argument to the iPhone itself. You see, the iphone is a clone of the LG Prada, since the Prada came out months before that and the iPhone offered the same thing... Believe that doesn't make any sense to people without an Apple fanboy mindset.

    It's the first full screen touch-based smartphone anybody gave a shit about, though. Hop on the train and count phones. It's not just the fanboys; the iPhone is crushing the smartphone market.
