The Pre, which boasts a slide-out Qwerty keyboard and a 3.1 in touch screen, will hit the shops before Christmas after it agreed an exclusive deal with O2 to sell the handset.
The phone also features a revolutionary new operating system which integrates Twitter and Facebook with users' contact list to allow a continuous stream of conversation across different media. It's also is the first mobile phone which does not need to be plugged in to charge. Instead users' just have to place in on a special "touchstone" pad which charges the device using a magnetic system.
Kat Hannaford, news editor of gadget magazine T3, said: "The Pre is a really impressive phone and the most serious challenger to the dominance of the iPhone. It comes at a great time as many users' iPhone contracts will be coming up for renewal in time for Christmas, and they might be disappointed that the new iPhone looks exactly the same as the old one."
