The final product of 2008’s touchscreen smartphone is here at least, the BlackBerry Storm—complete with both messaging and multimedia features aplenty, not to mention a nicely done touchscreen—looks set to give the Apple iPhone 3G and Google Phone T-Mobile’s Android-G1 a run for their money. Unfortunately, the BlackBerry Storm’s poky performance and failure to truly embrace touch keep it from landing a knockout punch.

Sizing at 4.4 by 2.4 by 0.55 inches and weighing in at 5.5 ounces, the BlackBerry Storm place itself between the svelte Apple iPhone and the bulky Google G1 in terms of size and overall heft, and it fits relatively comfortably in a your pocket. Below the roomy of BlackBerry Storm’s display you’ll find the standard Call, End, Back, and Menu navigations, while on the top corners are buttons for silencing ringers and locking the screen.

Speaking of which, the big draw of the BlackBerry Storm ($199 with a new two-year contract, available Friday, Nov. 21) is, of course, its 3.25-inch touch display, and it’s a true beauty. With its screen resolution of 480 by as60, the BlackBerry Storm’s touchscreen actually manages to pack in more pixels than the Apple iPhone’s larger, 3.5-inch screen, and the result is a rich, razor-sharp image, perfect for composing e-mails, internet surfing, or watching multimedia such as videos & movies.

Barring its lack of Wireless (Wi-Fi), the BlackBerry Storm makes for one of the most feature-packed BlackBerrys yet, and something tells us that the engineers at Apple company will be giving its ClickThrough display a close (and potentially envious) look. Now, if BlackBerry could whip up a Storm that’s as peppy as the Bold, well … that would be something nice.

Now we’re on final part of T-Mobile G1-Google Phone Full Reviews. If you missed the previous G1 reviews, you still can read it here & here.

After all, while you’re sad with the G1-Google Phone’s hardware weakness (lack of a 3.5mm jack etc), the awesome of the open-source Android Operating System is that third-party developers are free to tweak any and all of the G1-Google Phone’s core ability, like the dialer, music player, browser, e-mail client or just anything and the sky’s only the limit.

Same goes with the G1-Google Phone Android Market, which was (unsurprisingly) sparsely populated during the tests. Any softwares installed quickly about under a minute and the G1-Google Phone will notified you of any security risks (such as whether the application will access your personal bio, dialer, or GPS connection) before any installation begins—great huh.

Ok, now we continue to the second part of T-Mobile G1-Google Phone Full Reviews. If you missed the first part, you can still read it here. Apart from before, the call quality was awesome on the G1-Google Phone (some callers couldn’t detect that we’re on a cellular phone), the G1-Google Phone’s speakerphone was loud & clear, and the dialer app is efficient and user friendly (T-Mobile’s myFaves feature is now supported).

Messaging options on the G1-Google Phone are abundant—just about all that’s missing is full-on Exchange support, which will come once an enterprising developer fills the void. Alright, but how’s G1-Google Phone 3G reception? If you’re in New York, you probably had no trouble getting a 3G signal, both in Manhattan and Brooklyn—indeed, 3G reception on the G1-Google Phone was better than on Apple iPhone 3G. Remember that T-Mobile only recently launched its own 3G network, and it’ll only be live in about 21 cities by the end of the month. The G1-Google Phone will work on EDGE technologies-Beside that, you can always having a connectivity to the internet via Wi-Fi (wireless networks).

Ever heard the G1-Google Android Phone? or T-Mobile G1?
Android-powered G1-Google Phone is the first touchscreen smartphone we’ve seen that’s a real Apple iPhone competitor—and a great one. While it lacks the Apple iPhone’s shine and polish, the G1-Google Phone got the goodness from the peppy, easy-to-use Android OS (operating system), not to say the open-source thing that’ll probably lead to a explosion of inventive applications. Valued from usd $179 and set to ship from October 22 (you can pre-order it here), it’s no shock the G1-Google Phone is already a big hit.

First, the HTC-built G1-Google Phone isn’t much to look at. G1-Google Phone available in black and brown, this G1-Google Phone’s 4.6 by 2.16 by 0.62-inch handset isn’t nearly as hot as the Apple iPhone, and at 5.6 ounces it’s nearly a full ounce heavier than Apple iPhone. The 3.17-inch touchscreen slides up and over to reveal the space of QWERTY keypad beneath, while below the screen you’ll find 5 button keys—Menu, Call, Home, Back, and End—and a small-sized trackball. A volume tuner is on the right side of the G1-Google Phone, while the camera shutter is on its left. But something seems missing here: A direct physical “silent mode” key (instead, you must press and hold the Power button and select the Silent option).

The big Apple’s not the only IT company out there that loves to announcing new products.

Last week, the giant IT company: Microsoft unveiled its new generation computer mouse: “BlueTrack” technology (via Engadget) that will be featured in two new upcoming mice, One the model is: Microsoft Explorer Mouse and the other is Microsoft Explorer Mini Mouse. The new BlueTrack-powered technology utilizes wide-angle “specular optics architecture” to improve the mouse’s ability to work on rough or not-so-friendly surfaces, such as wood, granite, and carpet.

But this time, we’re not entirely sure how specular optics works, but this new features/technology sounds like it will be super useful to travelers or business people.

The Explorer Mouse will be retail at $99, while the Explorer Mouse Mini will retail at $79. This might be the hit for Best Buy in November. Beside that, all of the gamers must be waiting for the gaming version of this BlueTrack mouse from Microsoft. Maybe Intellimouse Explorer 3.0: BlueTrack Edition
