You and *I* feel that way... But the general public will be taking stock of the appearance and ease of use etc...

Besides.. I mentioned it so that we can take a look at the view some general person my have of a new device and see how we can improve upon any weaknesses. There will be no shortage of devices competing for the top spot... And against the iphone. Many, Many all touchscreen devices will be out there.. And we are not going to be first... So we can at least acknowledge the competition and work to improve what we can.

There already was Samsung phones with HSDPA support which was slower than normal UMTS phones of other manufacturers. Also flash lite might be good looking, but it is definately no smartphone platform. At least you cannot use the UI for additional apps (must be an overlay).
The display resolution is very poor for a such big screen.

For me this devices is pretty uninteresting, and even if it'd be able to run openmoko that wouldn't matter for me. Why should I give my money to a company that doesn't support opensource only to use their hardware with hacks and openmoko? Let's hope OpenMoko and the FIC Neo1973 will be successful and FIC produces more open phones in future.

 If I remember correctly, the F700 is using a Flash lite interface.
 Even though it does not have WiFi, it does have 7.2M HSDPA :) I am
 pretty sure it does have bluetooth though. Look here:

 The wallpaper on the F700 from the first Google result (
 
http://gizmodo.com/gadgets/cellphones/apple-iphone-vs-samsung-f700-which-is-touchscreenier-235112.php
 ) is a total rip-off of the Ubuntu default theme. I doubt that
 they're actually running Ubuntu (although I think Ubuntu is getting
 into the mobile market).

 The features don't really seem comparable. No wifi and no bluetooth.
 And the screen is even smaller and lower resolution than the iPhone.

 Has anyone else seen the samsung F700?
Its features are pretty nice... No idea on the OS but I would definitly
 take one over an IPhone... If it performs anything like it looks...
 Hehe.

 Its got very good specs.
