How iPhone will hit rivals

Mail to friend Samsung has four sleek touchscreen phones -- Omnia, Haptic, F490 and Instinct -- lined up to take on Apple. LG offers three touchscreen models -- Prada, Viewty with a five-megapixel camera, and Voyager. Frost & Sullivan analyst Daniel Longfield estimates Samsung and LG's iPhone look-alikes could suffer up to a 20 per cent fall in sales volumes competing head-to-head with Apple's device. "If a carrier sells both the iPhone and Samsung or LG's models, you would expect a solid 10-20 per cent decline in these model sales," Longfield said. Handset profits for both Samsung and LG probably peaked in the second quarter and are likely to fall in the second half, analysts 111said.
