i was about to retaliate... but then i saw that grin. LOL.

not plagiarizing per se, just some of the designs... they tend to copy off of other manufacturers more blatantly than most. a fine example: the Nokia N73. to be fair, it looks tempting.

To be honest, I think it's come to a point where mobile phones have a typical look. We can't deny that almost every brand takes a little something from another. I don't think that's bad, at least for us consumers, cos it allows us to get the best of two different brands (ideally). I thought the graphic interface that was allegedly plagiarised by Samsung in the topic above actually makes the Samsung look quite appealing, heh...

Anyway, kudos to @axxxr, you're always on the ball when it comes to the latest IT news, I always wonder how you do that. Keep up the good work!
