Is the limitation on the installation of applications outside the Android Market, and the Google search and other apps, due to AT&T? Or is it due to Motorola?
That is to say, an European Backflip will not have these limitations? Can someone confirm?

Stop Copying from &a, 21 Mar 2010actually it is so silly to see everyday big companies such ... moreDidn't Apple copied others by integrating a camera into their phone. Touchscreen market was already there before Apple arrived. LG had capacitive screen phone. The UI icons characteristic of the iPhone OS were first seen on Nokia 7710 ( have a look : http://www.gsmarena.com/nokia_7710-pictures-921.php ). Wi-Fi, GPRS, 3G, GPS... Why don't you say that Apple copied all these things. Its easy to say that everybody is copying Apple until you get to understand the evolution of mobile phones. The only credit Apple can take is to bring all the good things together in one device good that is easier to user suitable for the dumb and marketed it well with their penchant of closed source and proprietory stuff.

U dun like it, then dun like it. Period.
No one is forcing anything down anyone's throat
I have not heard any patent bring infringed, so what is being copied?
A phone is a phone. Life is more than I and phone.

Stop Copying from &a, 21 Mar 2010actually it is so silly to see everyday big companies such ... moreBasically anything can copy from anything. Why didn't Henry Ford sue other companies competing with his invention, the internal combustion car? Why isn't every First-Person Shooter game out there being seized by the creators of Doom? Why hasn't Motorola shut down other competitors after it made the first-ever mobile phone?
Apple's cash cow iPhone is undoubtedly good, but not everyone's cup of tea. You can't just shove your opinion down everybody's throats as the supreme truth, because not everyone is like you.
Face it, the iPhone is just any other phone out there and it just so happens to be hip and new at its time of introduction that it was raised to stardom. But know this: other brands do not blatantly copy the iPhone. In fact, they are trying to outsmart it by using more updated interfaces, cooler designs and better usability. This war isn't over until the iPhone is trumped. The Droid, N900 and Nexus One already knock against the iPhone's throne.

Anonymous, 21 Mar 2010You're just talking general which is stpd and nonsense. And... moreBasically you're telling me that the iPhone is a very innovative phone with features never before seen in a touchscreen device. And now as other companies try to best it, you're accusing them of blatantly copying Apple's "masterpiece?" The iPhone is not the second coming of Christ, you know.
News flash bud, the Apple OS is a fail piece of software, even the Symbian and Android interfaces are much, much more feature-laden. It's just that the iPhone has loads of apps and eye candy stuff that make people go wow. Try looking at any Android phone and see if you can see any "similarity" between the Android OS and Apple OS. I say, differences are minimal to nil. Different software built for different purposes. Apples to oranges.

Take any touchscreen market phone out there and you will see that everything can resemble the iPhone, just with different control schemes. The main similarity: that big flat screen.

If your choice is Iphone or nothing, I would advise you stick to the Iphone review and leave the rest of the reviews to us. We will help you to comment the rest, which are not good enough for you. Thanks.
