Consumers are really spoilt with choices! If iPhone is not enough for you, maybe Google Android can be?
T-Mobile will be the first carrier to offer a mobile phone powered by Google’s Android software, according to people briefed on the company’s plans. The phone will be made by HTC and is expected to go on sale in the United States before Christmas, perhaps as early as October.
