Yep. SmartPhone Wars have already begun. This year is SmartPhone Wars II – “Attack of the Clones”. Not sure what next year is.

Apple just filed some patents, if you care to glance …

These are exactly what some community users were posting with photoshop mockups, so looks like they are going in that direction.

Yes, woot.com, and others often sell 2G’s for around $99 or so. So you’re last point I think is right on the mark.

Agreed – The trick is the portfolio of devices, some OEMs target very select user categories and price points and this equates to risk “at the pump”. Nokia have a very wide portfolio and unrivalled global sales channels, and this is why they will retain the top spot. Saying that, nothing is certain, and other OEMs like Apple have clearly shown that you can enter the industry and make a difference.

In June I think we’ll see Apple create a portfolio of iPhones and begin to compete in the mass market space. It could be as simple as dropping the cost of a refreshed 2G model and adding an HD version for the top end.

I don’t hear the “Taps” music playing for Nokia (just quite yet), but they clearly have work to do … esp if they plan to compete here in the US, and remain competitive elsewhere.

I think the 5800 is as nice (if not nicer) than the N95 when it first arrived … that being said, I’m looking forward to the N97 …
