If you are going to have a gadget awards then obviously somewhere along the line Apple products are going to show up, and apparently now the Apple iPhone 4 has been added to the shortlist in the T3 Gadget of the Year Awards 2010.

In an article by Chris Smith of T3, he says although the new iPhone 4 was released after the initial list was drawn up, the iPhone 4 has made it to the shortlist despite all the hype surrounding the iPhone 4 reception issue.

Apparently T3 was “inundated with requests” from voters to include the iPhone 4 ahead of the final voting stage, a stage which opens as of today and the iPhone 4 enters as a “wildcard entry.”

This inclusion of Apple’s latest device means the iPhone 4 will go up against the Samsung C9000 series 3DTV, the Apple iPad WiFi and 3G versions, Sky HD+ 1TB service and set top box, and the HTC Desire

.

Other smartphone in the shortlist are, the Nexus One, BlackBerry Bold 9700

, Nokia N900, HTC Legend, Samsung Wave, Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10, Motorola Milestone, HTC HD Mini and of course the iPhone 32GS, but will the iPhone 4 be able to come out on top?Well you can help decide by casting your vote right here.
