Except, of course, for that phone reveled before the iPhone that had the same basic style. It was a style that the industry was headed towards anyway, apple just helped the momentum.

Reference please?

(You aren't talking about that Samsung phone which were announced before the iPhone but not shown until a good while after the iPhone was released?)
