A little birdy just dropped by CrunchGear HQ, bringing tidings of HTC Dream release dates in his little bird-sized satchel. They further confirmed the September 23rd announcement, cemented the rumors that there will be 3 different colors (all signs point to black, white, and brown), and then mentioned one little special tid-bit: the release date.
Do we have any news on service providers or pricing? I’m definitely waiting for this phone!
the iphone has its days numbered maybe…
Not a chance. The iPhone is as much a religion (as with all Mac devices) as it is a tool. Nice to have options though.
About time
am loving it. waiting.
Greg can you tell me how can I’ll be the first person in Bangladesh to have this one? please let me know
I saw one of these on the subway (NYC) the other morning. And I thought it was Android…
May I kindly suggest buying a DSLR camera on ebay, a shoe mount flash, bouncing the flash and placing the item on a white cloth? or did they want a rough photo with a cow skin like background?
lol! ha ha ha ha.
we finally see a sliver preview of what the user interface looks like, and all i’m seeing is something sheepishly windows like.
T-mobile
$150 for current users extending their contract after mail in.
looks bloated
Hope this forces the iphone to open up {seesmic_video:{“url_thumbnail”:{“value”:”http://t.seesmic.com/thumbnail/xrVEhK1sFg_th1.jpg”}”title”:{“value”:”Hope this forces the iphone to open up ”}”videoUri”:{“value”:”http://www.seesmic.com/video/35ocaB5WaY”}}}
it looks strange but for sure it will be very powerful !
I’m curious as to how the good the browser will be. I’m assuming it will be superior to most phones (I’m going to assume the iPhone can’t be beat, but I hope I’m wrong).
This wont change a thing , from what i am reading , it’s not earth shattering
Let be real , what is Iphone , but an over rated over hyped phone
BB has it all , I am business person , I don’t need to watch TV on a 2.5″ screen . that’s why I have a 52 ” at home
I have a nice stereo and an Ipod , I don’t need to constantly check my face book
and I if I want to go on the web , That’s why I have a Lap top ( I hate reading 2MM type )
I am older and old school . But I have a phone for receiving and making calls , and if I can get my business e-mails and attachments I fine .. Why all this bullshit over applications that one out ever 100 will use
@Lacy Kemp:
The browser is just wonderful: beautiful and fast. I use it on my Nokia N810. The Android browser is faster and better than the device’s original, although Android only runs in a virtual environment inside of the Maemo operating system.
Iphone is a fashionable gadget that everyone wants. Google’s Andrioid is a software that help solves real mobile phone problem. I think it is really a time for Blackberry or other PDA phones to really worry about their market share.
Any news on when it is available in India
With the look at this HW design, Google with the help of HTC has a long way to go in the area of design to be on par with the likes of RIM/APPLE/NOKIA.
For those of you who think that all that Google touches is gold , Please see Chrome ( the things to come from mighty G)
True enough… everything Google touches is Chrome.
I can’t wait. This is going to be an iPhone Killer!!!
Wow looks like every other junk pda phone out there. This isn’t even close to the level of apple.
I don’t think it’s an iPhone killer, I think it’s a Windows Mobile and Symbian killer. People are mistakenly assuming that to be successful in this market, you need to beat the iPhone. The reality is, this device looks like it competes far more effectively against Microsoft and Nokia smart phones, still a huge part of the market. It may be especially successful in the enterprise segment, in fact, I could see it eventually killing off RIM, with RIM in the interrim writing a Blackberry client for Android.
In the long term however, open standards mobile/push email, like the IETF Lemonade project spell the eventual doom of proprietary push mobile email.
2002 called, it wants its phone back
but its ugly…
Agreed!
Those who say it’s an iPhone killer, I do disagree. Nowhere close to being an iPhone killer. Go out and ask your friends who’ve never heard of Chrome or blogs or even Flickr (the not-so-techie people) if they have a clue what Android is. Ask them if they’ve heard of the iPhone. Chances are, they’ve heard of the iPhone, but have no clue on what Android is.
A good majority of the world’s population isn’t as well-informed of the on-goings in the tech world, contrary to belief. I’ve a handful of friends who couldn’t name three different browsers off the tops of their heads, who happen to own iPhones. The iPhone isn’t directed at just the tech-inclined group. The Android may be. The non-techies of the world don’t look at if a phone has the API’s to begin developing applications; they look at the sleekness and ease-of-use. And face it, the iPhone looks better.
This isn’t to say that I’m anti-Android. Quite the contrary. I’m highly anticipating the Android; this message was just directed to those that believe that it may be an iPhone-killer. On the other hand, it may just taking away some attention from smart phones..
Android Competes with Windows Mobile/Symbian/etc.
Don’t even compare that piece of junk with The iPhone.
Any news for when this will be available for Sprint users?
Now Why would we Have It Avaliable for Sprint? Now That Sounds As Dumb As U For Being An Sprint Customer..
not impressed.
Is Verizon going to offer Android?
Why would they offer this to your exspensive co.
Yes but can it do porn?
