T-Mobile will be the first carrier to offer a mobile phone based on Google's Android software.
The phone will be made by HTC, one of the largest makers of cell phones in the world, and is expected to challenge Apple's iPhone as well as other smartphones that run software from Palm, RIM (Research in Motion), Microsoft and Nokia.The HTC phone will have a touch screen, like the iPhone. But the screen also slides out to expose a full five-row keyboard. The phone is expected to go on sale in the U.S. before Christmas and perhaps as early as October. Last November, Google announced its highly anticipated Android software system for designing mobile phone devices, in a move it promised could help the cell phone industry make the Internet work as smoothly on phones as it does on computers.
