It features a touchscreen and is a 3.5G mobile, with GPS, an MP3 player, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and a camera for photos and video.

There are also a bunch of features from Google, including local search, traffic, gMail, gChat, weather and Google Panorama.

No word on pricing or availability as yet and it should go on sale around Q3 or 2008.

What do you think?

Is it just me, or are all phone companies suddenly trying to rival the iPhone, just like they did with the Blackberry?
