...when, later this month, the first wave of British users are freed from the contracts they had to sign to grab one of the early iPhones and start contemplating a replacement, they will be faced with a range of remarkably similar devices.
I don't mean to troll, and I mean this as a serious question, since I'm not very familiar with the mobile market - but can anyone name even 5 devices available today that are "remarkably similar" to the iPhone?

But, if price were no object and/or if I didn't live in North America, there are probably 10 phones I would prefer over the iPhone 3G (not all of them have touch screens). Most of the best phones just aren't available (with 3G) in the US, or they are horrendously expensive because carriers won't subsidize them.
