iPhone may be the craze of the town but not without competition. Hereare some of the other contenders in the smart phone race.

 
 
BlackBerry Thunder
Details on the phone itself are thin. However, it's hard toimagine Research in Motion being able to back up the wide,media-friendly screen (seen in leaked images) with the wealth ofmultimedia content Apple has packed into its iTune store for itsiPhones, iPods and Macs.


Research in Motion might do better than Apple if it were to roll out aphone with tiny plastic keys aimed at prying your credit card company'svice president away from her CrackBerry. But Apple is too smart to gothere.

 

Samsung Instinct

 

 

Samsung's iPhone killer, the Instinct, isn't about to amazeanyone. The phone is little more than an iPhone knockoff, right down tothe blank black face and chrome trim--a disappointment from a companythat shouldn't stoop to knock off anyone.

Worse yet, the phone's look--and $199 retail price--invites comparisonto a competitor the Instinct doesn't match. Unlike the new iPhone, theInstinct lacks wi-fi, has less memory and its touch-sensitive interfaceis less sophisticated.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Google Phone

Next up, Google, another company with an inside track atApple. Google Chief Executive Eric Schmidt holds a seat on Apple'sboard. And he's admitted that he's had to sit out some meetings, withGoogle readying an effort to pump its software into Internet-friendlyphones due in the fourth quarter from such manufacturers as HTC,Samsung and LG Electronics.

At first glance, Google's so-called Android effort poses quite athreat, since Google has a host of online services it can pour into thehandsets. The challenge: timing. By the time the first of thesehandsets arrive, Apple could already be synonymous with Web-friendlyphones.

 

 

 

 

 

 HTC Touch

This was an iPhone knockoff before there was an iPhone toknock off. In other words, it's no knockoff. HTC's engineers toiledlong and hard to design a touch-sensitive smart phone, only to seeSteve Jobs launch a phone, weeks later, incorporating many of the sameideas.

And while the Touch hasn't matched the iPhone's hype, it hints that HTCmay be the company with the best odds of one day cranking out a handsetthat knocks Steve Jobs & Co. on their butts.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 Nokia N95

This phone is a chunky monkey. But it packs some prettyamazing capabilities into a hefty package, like a five-megapixel camerawith a fancy Carl Zeiss lens.

Couple that with a capable media player, slick blogging software and abroad selection of games, and this phone is a radically differentapproach to building a media-friendly phone, compared with the iPhone.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 Sony Ericsson Walkman w580i

 

When word first got out that Sony Ericsson would pair itsslick handsets with music, selling the gadgets under the "Walkman"brand, many feared the result would be an iPod killer. That hasn'thappened. Nevertheless, these handsets have done well, particularly inJapan.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 AT&T Tilt

 

 

OK, Tilt isn't as pretty as the iPhone. But that's its secretweapon. Bear with us here. For starters, no one will accuse you ofpacking an iPhone knockoff. And sure, it's ugly, but this handset makesup for it by cramming tons of capability into its 6.1 ounces. Thisgadget, which is built for AT&T by Taiwan's HTC, has a wi-ficonnection, Bluetooth, a three-megapixel camera and a satellitenavigation system.

And that's just for starters. Not only doesthis device cruise along on high-speed 3G networks, but its WindowsMobile software allows users to crack open and edit Word documentsusing a slide-out keypad and a tilt screen.
