Samsung F700 squares up with the iPhone

Sure, this might look eerily similar to the Apple iPhone, but it's got a couple of tricks up its sleeve to differentiate itself from that upcoming 300-pound gorilla.

Namely, it's got a slide-out QWERTY keyboard. This should please people who are concerned about the lack of tactile feedback on the iPhone's touchscreen. It also has a better camera, clocking in at 5 megapixels, and it hooks up to the Web faster with its 7.2-Mbps HSDPA connection.

Sure, its touchscreen isn't as fancy as Apple's, but it looks like it could be a real contender for people who like the iPhone's form factor but don't like the price, carrier, or music player. This one really packs a punch with its features, and we can't wait to get more info on it when they officially announce it next week. Check another pic after the jump.
