		<description><![CDATA[This was supposed to be the point of an open-source OS: more makers could get their hats into the ring and produce phones. Well, that is defintely getting a test with this story.
The  first official Google Android phone was the HTC Dream G1, a handset which became known as the T-Mobile G1. Now we [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[It&#8217;s easy to see that AT&#38;T would love it if every phone used one OS, and so would some other phone companies. But the power of being able to choose your own poison (so to speak) should outweigh most every other consideration in this case, and it probably will here too.
Speaking at the  Symbian [...]]]></description>

The combination of odd design and high price won&#8217;t be a popular one in this economy, but it seems with the introduction of the Ego, Samsung has learned their lesson well.

The American handset manufacturer has just announced its latest music phone, dubbed the MOTOROKR EM35 and according to the press write-ups it will offer an “exceptional audio experience for music and talk”. Sounds like many of the other phones coming out right now, but [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The Samsung Omnia is rumored to be a pretty hot phone, and is not available across much of the US yet. That deficit will be corrected on December 8, and as extra good news, Verizon Wireless has already decided to reduce its price from $249.99 retail to $199.99 (with a 2-year agreement). 
Two factors at work here: the crummy economy pretty much worldwide [...]]]></description>
