pure speculation. Please get some evidence before printing this stuff. At least cite a real source which isn’t just another speculation…

You couldn’t have said it better my friend. Competition fuels progression and technological advancement and ensures a level playing field while keeping businesses ethical (or as ethical as a business can get at least). Hopefully these upcomming phones will give Apple the well deserved wake up smack in face that they so need.

I’d like to wait and see if the date holds or if the world will have to wait until 2009. I posted some thoughts earlier on this topic.

if this has to live up to the iphone standard then we should expect to see cracks develop and the back panel to overheat and melt.

now, that’s some standard of beauty to live up to, eh?

Has anyone stopped to think about the feasibility of a 3″x5″ display? The iPhone 3G, which is a fairly large device, is 4.5″ tall and 2.5″ wide (that’s for the whole phone, not just the display). If this HTC Dream is really going to have a 3×5 display, the overall device dimension are going to be close to 6″ x 3.5″. That’s bordering on MID size, not phone size. No way you’ll be able to fit a device like that into a pocket.

As I noted in the comments at TMoNews, HTC has yet to submit to the FCC this phone. I searched the FCC’s authroization database for phones that use the UMTS 1700 band, and HTC does not show up. SE, Moto, Sammy, Nokia, Kyocera, UTStarcom, Huawei, and ZTE have phones in the FCC pipeline for approval (or have already been approved.)

If someone has the FCC ID, that would go a long way to vet the assertion that it’s coming, but right now I call “No T-Mobile Android for You!”

I don’t buy into that video being the HTC Dream. Google repeatedly demoed the exact same phone and referred to it as a reference design. I would think HTC would keep its (seemingly) highest priority a secret if they have been working on the phone for over 2 years. The Touch Pro looks to be far more advanced as far as the hardware is concerned and I am sure they have something impressive that they are doing to debut.

looks like another generic HTC device. hopefully the OS is as good as advertised. Oh and hopefully the battery life is good.

I just hope that ugly enormous phone was a prototype… otherwise the $150 could be justified. (barely, considering how beautiful the iPhone looked for $199)

@ MadMike
You know I didnt even read through the whole post, I’m such a tard. Im like half a sleep at work.

Anyways, I still hope more OEMs start putting Quad 3G radios in their phones. Would love a Nokia e90 that could use Tmobile’s AWS 3G. I can’t imagine how hard this would be.

Not sure if I could deal with that QWERT keyboard.

It’s called competition. Despite the iPhone’s shortcomings and various other issues; Apple released one hell of a phone. Multitouch, minimalistic design & thin. That and it was overhyped to the absolute nines.

Well, it got people’s attention. So now everything is an “Apple Killer” or “iPhone Killer” or “suchandsuch’s answer to the iPhone.” Hate it or love it – the iPhone benefited a lot of people. Including the people that didn’t buy it.

It took the general direction phones were going and made it veer off-course to something new.

The competition now wants to compete – build a phone without the shortcomings of the iPhone with all the requisite features and make it cheaper, faster and better.

Competition is good.

@dand:
“Slide out QWERT[Y] keyboard, 3G data, 5″x3″ touchscreen and 3.0 megapixel camera will all come standard, making it T-Mobile’s flagship device.”

Sound like it will have T-Mobiles 3G. Now all you need is to be in an area that has T-Mobiles 3G service. Which is almost non-existent until October. Right now only a few US cities have 3G service.

I hope this handset *finally* has Tmobs AWS 3G bands on it.

5 x 3 inch screen? That’s a diagonal of 5.8″. Riiiiiight…

So much for the plausibility of that rumor…

underwhelming in design or not, skin the hell out of it. I’m more excited about all of the killer apps that will begin to surface for this thing. I know I’m gonna be sporting a Bold and this baby at the same time, just for the hell of it…. but certainly, excitement is abound. =)

Yesssss go Tmo. Im getting rid of my Sk for this. Especially at its cheap price of 150?! I liked the iphone but the only thing i wanted on it was a full keyboard that didnt use up any of the screen. This phone is perfect to me :]
