Samsung jumping into touchscreen phone frenzy

It’s not like Samsung doesn’t have a single touchscreen enabled device on the market — it’s that their upcoming M4650 model clearly resembles the iPhone. Their idea is simple – they want to introduce the iPhone-like device in Korea before Apple (NSDQ: AAPL) does.
Apparently, the upcoming “multi-touch phone” will be hitting Samsung’s domestic market via LG Telecom. It will be smaller than the iPhone, sporting 2.8″ LCD display with haptic feedback, but also the T-DMB receiver for watching mobile TV. The phone is running on top of Marvel 624MHz PXA300 CPU and Windows Mobile 6.
The first image looks promising and yes, we would like to see this baby hitting the western hemisphere as well. Just please don’t make it another Vodafone (NYSE: VOD) exclusive like you’ve already did with the F700…

the most interesting fact is that the phone doesn’t have multi touch ability
samsung PR you’re great, really
Why is it called iphone-like? Just because it has a bottom line of icons? Or because it means a headline that catches more eyes?
WM phones have had touchscreens and third party icon start screens for years.
Does that mean, when iphone finally gets third party applications and has to organize them, any tabbed collections will be called Windows Mobile like?
Yeah Windows Mobile had start screen for year, but did they looked this way before the iPhone? C’mon, even Nokia admitted they are copying it. And I’m saying this like a Nokia phone user…
is it with the touch flo?>
