Samsung is following Apple, MS & LG in the trend where cellphones involve "big, wide touchscreens" as their main look and feel. Their Ultrasmart F700 phone has a qwerty keyboard, 2.8" widescreen, 5 MP camera and 3G support. We are not sure at this point if this is a smartphone which allows you to develop and run native applications or if it's just a glorified "feature phone". The whole interface is based on Adobe's Flash while a recent press release along with the claim of "full HTML browsing" makes us speculate that the phone possibly uses the Opera web browser -- possibly on top of Linux.

Remember, cellphones are usually in development between 6 months and 2 years. Longer if this is a new platform. So, the phone in question (and LG's too) it's much more than 1 year old.

Well then so called Apple innovation is not innovative in any way, it's just trend where everybody goes... but still I prefer iPhone's interface plus video iPod, WiFi and Safari (I don't like Opera crappy UI)
