This entry might as well be written by a Choeongyecheon Candlelight Vigil’er cause it’s full of misinformation and bias.

First, the LG Prada and Samsung F700 both predated the release of the iPhone by months.

What Samsung and LG have recently released are their initial responses to the iPhone, which surely caught them off-guard, and shouldn’t be expected to match the usability as they were designed in months as opposed to the years that Apple had the luxury of.

Though the Samsung and LG phone offer something that Apple doesn’t–a user changeable battery. Apple peeves me.

@BKW
I think it was pulled because some of the commenters were lacking irrational beliefs and causing irritation to the Marmot’s hole. But we should be careful to discuss this here as the Marmot is probably monitoring this conversation and he could decide to pull us off too. I want to stay here so I recommend keeping your head down at the Marmots hole.

The Prada phone was never meant to compete with the iphone. It came out before the iphone, and sales have actually been really good. It was a success for Prada and LG.

Was the satiric “A Modest Proposal: For Preventing the Importation of Mad Cow to Korea” really pulled?

Regarding the iPhone… battery power still sux, but it’s growing on me. When the 3G version comes out and the contract on my Blackjack expires, I’m gonna think of getting me one.

They should really make it available in Korea. It may force LG and Samsung to really think about upgrading their own phones a little more seriously. That and Blackberry. At this point, neither LG and Samsung have any products that match the best products from Apple or Research in Motion.

@Toru - Indeed it may have been the ETRI press release I was thinking of. I would love an iPhone, but also a nice snazzy Sony Ericsson or a Nokia N95 might do the trick!
