icsson Xperia X1, Sony Ericsson Idou, HTC Touch Diamond. Somebody can make a fair claim that the user experience of those phones falls far short of what the iPhone provides. 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.
