Collection of some So Called " iPhone Killers " !

Since its launch ,its been called the ultimate next gen mobile . Everybody likes it design,its colour,its sleekiness,its features and some critics call it as 'lack of features'. By the way i am not here to talk about I-phone, I am here to talk about the next gen I-phone killers ! You guys dont know but i made a post a 'Zune the I-pod killer' ,but Zune couldnt kill it , it couldnt even disturb the Ipod sales. Anyways here are some mobiles which are pretty attractive by style and features and maybe pretty repulsive by price tag .

Open Moko :- The first version is the NEO 1973 mobile phone, which carries the Linux kernel inside and is not locked to a specific network, it shares a design philosophy -- no buttons, just a screen -- and it's ready to be loaded with any number of open-source software applications. The base version of the NEO sells for $300. It has a 2.8" VGA touch screen, a micro SD card slot, a USB port and 2.5G GSM quad band capability.
Keep in mind that this unit (the GTA01) was pushed out early so developers could begin writing device drivers, custom GUIs and some cool apps for the phone. The next revision (GTA02), which will be available starting at $450 in October, will be ready for the mass market. It will have wi-fi, 3-D motion sensors and added graphics accelerators. So this phone isn't exactly an iPhone killer -- the next one will be a contender.

• Another Version is the Neo Advanced This Hacker's Dream Box is a heavy duty, mysterious black box that houses the OpenMoko development board. The Advanced kit is padded to protect your Neo 1973, development board, and accessories for hackers in transport.
  This is a Developer Version The Consumer-ready hardware will be available around year's end, with Consumer-ready software to follow some time after that. If you are a Developer, jump in, the water's fine. If you do not know how to program, please consider waiting for the Consumer-ready hardware and software.

Google G-Phone or Google Switch : What would make the Google Switch an iPhone killer? The touchscreen is similar to the one on the iPhone so that would not do it. The Google Switch is said to be 3G unlike the iPhone's 2.5G. It would need to be 3G with HSDPA to make up for having all applications on the network and not on the device itself. Call me suspicious, but, would this be an opportunity to charge more for the menu of attached applications? Then on the other hand that may provide a better opportunity to have a wider variety of applications - something that the iPhone lacks. So, that would probably be a wash for most people. The iPhone has Google Maps but no built in GPS. The Google Switch is reported to have GPS built in.What more do you want ? Did you say anything ? OH !! Stupid me ! You all need a screen shot :)

• Samsung F700 : First iPhone Killer - Samsung F700 is an ultra smart HSDPA capable 3.5G mobile phone. The Samsung F700 phone is an elegantly designed mobile phone which includes best range of multimedia features with download speeds of up to 7.2Mbps. The handset supports GPRS, UMTS (3G) and EDGE minus WiFi. The Samsung F700 mobile phone is built with a touch screen with Drag and drop facility and QWERTY key pad. Samsung F700 handset comes with a 5 MP digital camera with auto focus and flash. It also includes a secondary camera to make video calls. You can watch videos, listen to songs, share your photographs and send and receive email with a Samsung F700 handset.

LG Verizon Voyager : The LG Voyager, aka the VX10000, is a huge—and hugely ambitious—phone. At 4.6 by 2.1 by 0.7 inches (HWD) and 4.7 ounces, it's a bit of a boat, but it's an elegant one, with silvery edges and a solid feel. The front of the Voyager is dominated by a 2.8-inch, 400-by-240-pixel touch screen, and below the display, you'll find Send, End, and Clear buttons.Like most Verizon phones, the Voyager syncs with Windows Media You can store files in the whopping 183MB of available internal memory or on a microSD card (up to 8GB). A 4GB Kingston microSD memory card full of music worked fine, and tunes played seamlessly over wired and Bluetooth headsetsThe 2MP autofocus camera takes photos that are for the most part acceptable, though bright areas in outdoor shots are overexposed, and captures slightly dark 320-by-240 videos. So those are the things u need to know i remember there was a verizonvoyaager.org site or something but its no more .

HTC Touch : Being based on the HTC Elf, the HTC Touch sports a 2.8 inch screen, quad-band GSM radio with EDGE, Bluetooth 2.0, WiFi, microSD slot, and 2 MP shooter - all running under Windows Mobile 6.0 Professional.

Sony Ericsson Xperia : Wondering why i put this toughest competitor to I-phone so late ? because its already in my blog ! Click here to read .

Nokia Tube : Combine the best functionality from the already existing Smartphone and Internet Tablet line-ups, and Nokia's new iPhone competitor would naturally be named "Nokia N900 Smart Tablet". The screen size probably is going to be at 3.5" with resolution of 480x320, just like the iPhone . Also most likely the screen will cover the whole device and a touch sensitive D-pad will be there.Opera will provide a full-fledged Internet browser, supporting all common standards.he N900 will sport Nokia's Ovi 2008 Edition, providing a seamless, all-around media experience, from transfer to playback of media. A 3.5mm headphone jack will be incorporated, as well as 16GB storage capacity. For additional storage capacity, the N900 will host a miniSDHC slot.
