iPhone Killer Contenders

LG Voyager
- The Verizon Voyager is a touch-screen smartphone that opens up to a full QWERTY keypad and includes V Cast services and media capabilities. It is currently considered the main competitor to the iPhone.
Openmoko: Neo Base
- The Neo 1973 or NeoBase is a phone that runs the OpenMoko platform. It features a touchscreen and an open source OS, which makes it a strong contender.
HTC: HTC Touch DUAL
- The HTC Touch Dual is a phone that features a touchscreen and a slide out 20-key keyboard. It's Touchflow UI, which allows panning and zooming, clinches it as a contender.
Google: Android
- This is not a phone, but an OS for a phone. Still, this is generating lots of buzz, and eventually the OS has to be impemented on a phone. Despite questions and no actual phone, this is a strong wildcard contender.
LG: LG KU990 or LG Viewty
- Divx playback, a touchscreen, and a whopping 5-megapixel camera in addition to other neat features make this a contender that can't be ignored.
Samsung: F700
- Although the F700 has sleek looks, a touchscreen, a slide-out QWERTY keyboard, and HSDPA networking capabilities, it is a contender, albeit a weak one.
Helio: Helio Ocean
- The Helio Ocean features a QWERTY keyboard, GPS functionality, MySpace Phone, and an MP3 Player. However, with no touchscreen or possibility of adding software and higher prices for service plans, it is a weak contender at best.
Meizu: M8 miniOne
Garmin: Nuviphone
