iPhone wannabes

Competing for touchscreen sexiness are LG's sleek Prada Phone and HTC's Touch, both of which use preprogrammed finger motions to allow users to manage functions. And Samsung Electronics has introduced several new mobile phones with touch navigation, allowing you to navigate menus, scroll through music playlists, surf the Web and control settings via the "drag and drop" method.
