Everyone in this forum knows that every time a new touchscreen phone comes out, it is immediately labeled the iphone killer. Just about weekly, a new "Android" phone is released and the iphone killer threads start. I know for one, I am tired of them, not because I don't care, but because it is the same with every new phone that comes out.
The iphone is a revolutionary phone that changed the way we look at a typical cell phone. It brought a whole new meaning to touch screen, and even though it does lack a few things that the Android phones have such as a higher Mega Pixel camera and the ability to customize freely out of the box (Insert Jailbreak here), it still is one of the most popular cell phones of all time. The cell phone that caught everyone's eye before the iPhone was the Motorola Razr, and we all know how popular that phone was. I for one had a total of 6 of them.
Every Android phone that has came out looks almost the same, they are running on the same platform as the next (Android 2.0 ect.), and yes there are many choices as to which one you would prefer, but they are all basically the same thing. I have played with the Motorola Droid, the Droid Eris and the other Motorola Android based phone, and I felt as thought the components are the same internally it is only the outer shell that makes a difference.
The iPhone is the only of its kind, yes it has different storage sizes and 2 colors to choose from, but when someone sees it, they know automatically that it is in fact an iPhone. If you held out a random Android based phone, I could not tell you the name of it or who the manufacturer is, but I can tell you that it has the same platform as the 50 other Android phones.
And, although the iphone is not for the exclusive any more, and many many people own them, it is still the iphone. The phone that changed the way we text, listen to music, play games and do daily activities (there's an app for that!). I for one know that when I look at the HTC HD 2 I do not think, oh that is the so called iPhone killer, because if I did, I would say that about every Android based phone- but I can't look at any other phone and say, that is the iPhone, because there is only one, and contrary to Japanese Electronic Companies beliefs and products, Apple is the ONLY producer of this phone.
In conclusion, I vote that we all call the new iphone (if in fact it shows its face in June) the iPhone killer, because honestly I think that it will be the only phone that surpasses the current iphone enough to have a label such as that.
Just a thought, enjoy.
