GPhone VS BlackBerry

Hardware:

1. The price - The price and storage memory is what user concern most. For GPhone $179 1GB, you will pay another $40 for an 8GB SD Card. RIM BlackBerry Bold 9000 is $619.99, Blackberry Curve 8300 is $245 to $300, and Blackberry Pearl 8100 is $165 to $299. So I think GPhone win in this round.
