There seems to be a battle to beat the iPhone with many producers using iPhone lookalike designs. Voices on the market say that Sprint is going to try it and will release the new Samsung SPH M800 that has a touchscreen display and similar design to iPhone’s. My honest opinion is that the iPhone design has already become a standard so we can’t say someone’s trying to steal it or not.
However, to get back to our Samsung SPH M800, apparently Sprint hasn’t come up with an official story but we see the logo. It looks nice, has a 2 megapixel camera unlike the F470 that had a whopping 5 megapixel camera, supports EV-DO (thanks), has Stereo Bluetooth and GPS. Since it’s a Sprint phone you also get Sprint TV and Sprint Music Store support.It sounds like a good handset and will probably cost less than an iPhone so you’d better want to consider it when you buy a new cellular phone.

I currently own a Samsung Upstage and i love my phone, despite all the complaints on its design. I would buy my upstage all over again given the chance. That being said, I love the look and possibility of the SPH-M800. It’s not that its trying to be an iphone, as much as this truly seems like samsung taking the strengths of the upstage and the form factor currently a market trend and running with them. It’s got all the same features of my upstage but out does them on individual performance. The touch screen is a welcome addition as 9 of 10 times I end up even myself looking at the screen when I flip to the media face of the upstage and wondering why it isn’t touch screen, only touch sensitive controls below. I recently said I’ll have an upstage until its really really dated but as soon as the M800 is released this will be the first cell phone I will ever purchase brand new on release day. This phone is the next evolution to the already amazing media design and architecture of the Upstage. Congrats to Samsung for another wonder of technology and design. I want it now!
