Is this the first iPhone clone?

Phones with touchscreen displays are like buses – you wait for years for one to appear and then several appear at once. Here’s the first pretender to the iPhone crown…
From the large screen and OS-style display to the four function buttons along the front and the placement of the camera lens, it’s clear that the KE850 from LG and iPhone are closely related, if not identical twins.
Revealed mid-December (clearly as an attempt to take some of the sting out of the iPhone’s announcement), it’s arguable that anyone developing a touchscreen phone is likely to go along some clear design paths, but when you put images of the two side-by-side, there’s a definite similarity.
On the plus side, if you simply can’t wait for the European iPhone launch, then the KE850 (codenamed ‘Prada’) should be hitting European stores in April.
