If you really want to get technical, the Motorola Sholes/Droid was released on November 6 and the Samsung Moment was released on November 1. As far as renders go, Moment and Droid renders were hitting the web about the same time, so you can’t really argue that one or the other stole the idea. So, no, the Moment is certainly not a copy cat and it was even first on the market… All I am saying is that the Devoir keyboard is not an original design by any means and the Moment’s keyboard is a bit more functional. In fact, it’s way more functional than the Droid’s as well!

Well, its the same Keyboard design as the Sholes render. And didn’t that render show up before the Samsung Moment? So that would again make Samsung the copycat.

I’m not seeing the benefit of this over a Droid, unless this is intended to be a $100 phone.

The network support interests me, though. I’d love to be able to buy a handset that I can run on any network.

Yes, intriguing keyboard design, yet not original. The keyboard design is taken straight from the Samsung Moment which was just released in November… The Moment’s keyboard still looks more functional than this one, but maybe this is not the final version for this phone…

Dedicated number keys and only 4 rows, intriguing keyboard design!

The dual core marketing line is the same bullshit Motorola tried to sell with the Droid too. Yeah the MSM7627 has two ARM cores, but so does the G1. To top it off, in the case of Droid, it’s two separate chips (meaning extra power consumption and slow interprocess communication) and they were trying to sell that as an advantage!

I’m not saying the MSM7627 isn’t a faster processor. It’s much faster than the ARM11 used in the G1. There are other details about the chip that’s generally not mentioned in the spec’s that faster in the MSM7627 compared to the one in the G1.
