I disagree.. the phones are using a much bigger surface now because it's using touch screen for interaction but there is still variety in design and it's getting better and better due to diversity of manufacturers..
It started off with a simple idea.. big screen, touch.. that's what users wanted..
but now you can see that Android phones are looking wildly different that are coming out soon
Dual screen phones:
Fujitsu one:
3D display and slide out keyboard Android phones:

Gaming phones:
As always, some people are saying that everyone is copying Apple.. this is not true at all.. it's just that the nature of touchscreen simply forces design to put the screen in the first place..
during the 2000s smartphones look thicker and had smaller screens because technology really wasn't advanced enough.. but even prior to iphone.. old Smartphones actually looked more like Android phones today.. So you can say Apple copied them and took out the buttons
2006 smartphones:

It's a natural evolution.. Apple just capitalized on dumping the pen and using your finger first..
Other than that.. Android phones are really improved versions of previous smartphones before iPhone.
- other than the gaming one which serves a dif purpose, all of these look stupid and pointless compared to an iphone.set

- yeah I don't think an Apple fan would say anything different. It's all pointless until Apple makes it.Boz
- and that was not the point of the post.. it simply shows there's a variety in design of the phones and they don't look like iPhones.Boz
- iPhonesBoz
- and believe it or not many people actually prefer a physical keyboard.. I know.. it's a shocker to you.Boz
- of fuck off with your black & white apple fan/non apple fan cuntiness.set
- that's how you sound.. your post was stupid as shit..Boz
- why waste space with a keyboard when it can be used as a keyboard OR extra screen space...set
- your reasoning is dated.set
- your reasoning is limited by Apple bias.. iPhone is the jesus phone and everyone else who uses a real keyboard or anything different is pointless..Boz
- anything different is pointless.. Which is absurd by itself and really doesn't need any other comment.. It's just stupid.Boz
- You are missing the point completely, I won't waste time discussing this with such a retard.set
- and it's called diversity.. I don't want 1 fucking phone.. I want variety and if there's a phone with dual screen all the better. Someone wants it. But I guess your brain can't compute that.Boz
- Someone wants it. But I guess your brain can't compute that. ANd this dual screen phone just got on Engadget 8/10 review.. Which just shows your opinion even more stupid.Boz
- Which just shows your opinion even more stupid.Boz
- Cool.set
- And set.. read the review and see why dual screens can make your phone so much more productive.. there's a video too

It's actually pretty great.. you can browse the web and type an email at the same time..totally pointless right?Boz - an email at the same time..totally pointless right?Boz
- oh bozzy bozzy just stfu son.set

I wish mobile phone designers would get a flipping clue and stop making ugly phones and give us the likes of iida from japan:

or if iida could make thoses phones for the european market it'd be even better. They had Towa Tei write music for their TV advert before. That is cooler than the iphone!!!!

with phones now capable of displaying apps, movies and websites, unobstructed screen real eastate is the most important thing. With full size touch screens and no buttons, there's no external features left to design - hence the fact they're all nearly identical.

Fax_Benson: that was my reasoning, and with the operating system becoming more unified (essentially android of iOS) it feels like things are becoming more generic

- yeh detritus, giving users full customization, can result in hideous themes. thats pretty obvious.Hombre_Lobo
- at least you have the option of doing that on android. Rather than being told how your phone should be.Hombre_Lobo
