Since the iPhone was launched, there has been a continuous struggle between Apple’s smartphone and the popular business tool Blackberry. Indeed, some faithful Blackberry users switched to the iPhone. Now, however, the tables have turned and Apple officials fear their own faithful customers might run to purchase the T-Mobile G1, a phone powered by Google Android.

Could this be the competitor iPhone feared? Could the Google Phone overthrow the smartphone king? Even if the iPhone will continue to reign undefeated, it is certain that the Google handset, T-Mobile G1, will sell like hot cakes. Some customers went as far as saying that the G1 is more technologically advanced in comparison with the Apple star-phone.

Also, the operating system used by the Google Phone has been declared not only superior to the iPhone’s, but easier to use and compatible with the needs of different categories of buyers. Furthermore, the Google Phone’s interface is easier to use and is more user-friendly, saving the buyer the precious time no one can afford wasting these days.

To better illustrate what the G1 represents to Apple and how it could easily take over the market (and never let it go), it’s enough to mention that customers have been pre-ordering the G1 Android phone since August and the number of preorders is - so far – of a whopping 1.5 million. The official launch date, as announced by a T-Mobile representatives, is to be October 22nd.

The G1 will provide 3G services and will come at a starting price of only $179.99 for loyal T-Mobile customers, for which phones are set aside if pre-ordered. However, this fight will turn out in the end and no matter the winner, this winter will truly be the clash of the smartphone titans.
