Some news sources are reporting that T-Mobile will launch the touchscreen version of G1 (Google Android Phone)— this ultimate Google Android expected this year for the U.S. market—as early as next month, is this the Apple iPhone killer, anyone?

You can found more detailed stories about the G1 on Wired News, this G1 (Google Android Phone) described as a touchscreen phone with a full slide-out, full-QWERTY keypad, a roomy 5′x3′-inch display, a nice 3MegaPix camera, and access to T-Mobile’s nascent 3G network which, for now only run in New York included Las Vegas.

It seems we have to get up soon to buy the new Apple iPhone. For your information, the new Apple iPhone is “coming soon”.

The first and mostly: The new Apple iPhone 3G will go on market at 8 a.m. next Friday at AT&T retail stores and Apple phone stores. So, do planning on lining up? To be the first one to get it? You’d better be ready well before the sunrise going up. Beside that, AT&T also has finally clarified Apple iPhone pricing for current AT&T subscribers who want the Apple iPhone 3G.

In a nutshell, if you’re -upgrade eligible- (by log into your AT&T account to see if you are), you will be able to buy the new Apple iPhone for the cheap discounted price of $199:8GB version or $299:16GB model. AT&T is somewhat vague about the eligibility criteria, although your credit history plus the time remaining on your contract are the main factors. As additional, you will also have to pay a small fee of $18 as “upgrade fee.”

The LG Voyager is not a larger version of the LG enV, though the two are both side-opening QWERTY clamshell phones. Instead, think of the Voyager as the phone the LG should have been, or would be for an extra $200, give or take. While we complained about the tiny external screen and lack of features on the enV, we’ll have no such complaints about the Voyager. The face is dominated by a large touch screen. We don’t have specific measurements, but upwards of 2.5-inches or more would be our best guess. The interface relies heavily on the touch screen, and includes plenty of icon-based menus and shortcuts to help navigate without having to open the clam.
