The latest offering is Motorola’s Blaze, a touchscreen phone with only a passing similarity to the iPhone. The only additional feature worth having is haptic feedback, which makes the handset vibrate in response to touching the screen. Other than that, it has fairly bog standard two megapixel camera, EVDO, GPS, Bluetooth, and mobile TV.

At first look, the Blaze doesn’t have the sex appeal of the iPhone, but it’s sure to appeal to some.
