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.
