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.

Yes, this is exactly what they are all doing, following the trend of technology. They don't copycat, they simply do whatever makes sense at this point in time. I blogged about it a few days ago, explaining the trend:

As for Opera Mobile (not Mini), it is just fine on a mobile phone. It has NOTHING to do with the UI of the desktop browser version. It is a good mobile browser.

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.
