HTC is smart to have partnered with Google on this phone, as it's a major manufacturer, primarily of Windows Mobile smartphones, but doesn't have its own OS, as is the case with Nokia, Apple, Sony Ericsson or other companies. So, HTC has to innovate on the hardware side, and needs to work closely with Microsoft and Google who DO have operating systems to sell lots of hardware.

As you'd expect, the phone also works on both the 3G and 2G networks. T-Mo News says that it has “one click” Google search, and “one click” access to: Maps (including satellite, traffic and "Street View") Gmail YouTube Calendar Google Talk T-Mo News doesn't mention it, but it's also supposed to come with the Google Chrome browser - and who knows what other apps we'll see? Google Talk also brings the likelihood of VoIP phone calls to the table, and that's something the iPhone doesn't do out-of-the-box, that's for sure!
