Considering that the company's name is VK... and that their "VK800" was released 1 year earlier than SE K800.

VK700 and VK800 are the same as K700 and K800? Is that copying?
And Sony Ericsson copied the model number Z710 from Samsung? Look at SE's Z710 and Samsung's Z710 and compare release dates to figure out who was copying who. And what about Sony Ericsson "stealing" the model number K750 from this:

(Husqvarna K750)

And which P990 would you prefer?

Sony Ericsson P990


or

Walther P990


After having used Sony Ericsson's version of P990 I would buy Walther's and use it on Sony Ericsson's.

seems like "amusing" coincidences to me... the photos say it all: they may share the same name but they are two different things (at least physically on phones).

i find these photo comparisons really funny lol especially with that 750 machine lol lol lol

cheers!

Hmmm... It would be interesting to see how a mobile phone reacts to gunfire ... Lets search Youtube LOL.

Anyway, would you use Huqsvarna's K750 on SE's K750?
