When will the Dream no longer be a dream?

Tuesday, August 12th, 2008

Lots of rumors are circulating about the HTC Dream, which is supposed to be the first Android phone to be released. Only a few days ago the conclusion seemed to be that it’s going to be delayed and may not meet the Q4 target that had previously been set by Google for the release of the first Android device. Both Google and HTC denied those rumors, stating that it was still on track for a Q4 release. A bit later a video was leaked that showed the device in action running a recent version of Android, with some of the more tricky features like the orientation sensor working properly.

And now TmoNews report that it may even be a bit early. Well, not exactly, but they claim that pre-ordering will start on September 17th for existing T-Mobile customers. This makes a lot of sense, considering that T-Mobile were previously reported to be offering an Android phone for their 3G launch in October.

Anyway, I guess we’ll have to wait a few more weeks to find out what’s really happening. Maybe we will see this device sooner than many of us thought – until then, it will remain a dream. Let’s hope it turns into a HTC Dream soon.
