I also just read that LG has a new phone coming out shortly resembling the iPhone. It’s called the LG Prada Phone.. and get this… it will be $780 at mobile phone dealers and Prada stores in Britain, France, Germany Italy, and Asia in March.

With the media in love with Apple, Apples’ effective marketing, and the worlds love of the iPod, OpenMoko doesn’t stand a chance in head-to-head competition. Hopefully, it will find traction in a nitch market.

Another thing I’m not too sure about with the OpenMoko is the rounded design… I like the iPhone look better.

Actually, the thing that I love the most is that the phone only costs $350 WITHOUT a contract. That is awfully tempting by itself.

I expect the moko to have tons of fun apps that have awesome functionality, but everyone says “it isn’t the iPhone”.

Other than that there are similarities. Now it’s going to be a match between iPhone’s chic and moko’s openness.

It may not have the fancy touchscreen, but it has applications that are free and can be developed and cost nothing. You can’t beat that.
