T-Mobile G1
This will be the first Google Android phone. It will be sold exclusively through T-Mobile on October 22, 2008. The phone will cost $179 with a two-year agreement.
CNET sums up the T-Mobile G1 handheld quite nicely:
“…it has the potential to make smartphones more personal and powerful. That said, it’s not quite there yet, so for now, the G1 is best suited for early adopters and gadget hounds, rather than consumers and business users.”

BlackBerry Storm
The BlackBerry Storm, their first attempt at a touch-screen device, is coming for thie 2008 holiday season. It will only be available through Verizon. Essentially, it boasts a touch-screen display with a tactile response. When you touch the screen, you’re actually pushing down on it. The screen moves down as you push. This is called haptics. I think “touch-screen” should be replaced with “push-screen”.
The device will run BlackBerry’s newest OS – BlackBerry OS 4.7. CompanionLink expects full compatibility with this OS and device.
Here’s a full review of the BlackBerry Storm.
