Photos of the upcoming Android OS powered HTC Dream (fondly known as the G1) cropped up today. Nothing new in terms of information, but we expect that to change Tuesday with T-Mobile's big Android coming out party. We'll be covering the G1 here and over at Everything gPhone, which is your source for everything Android.
A reportedly leaked SKU list shows the upcoming HTC Dream, aka G1, coming in three colors. The first Android based phone is getting closer to launch, so this appears plausible. The SKU shows the G1 coming in white, brown and black. No word on what they'll end up marketing the phone. Many believe it will be the HTC Dream, but the jury is still out.
Forget all those rumors about Android being delayed until 2009, as the latest rumors have T-Mobile offering pre-orders on the HTC Dream in September. That's right, the HTC Dream might just be available for pre-order on September 17th for $150. They expect an October launch for the HTC Dream.
Sources say this price might just be for existing T-Mobile customers. The HTC Dream will reportedly ship in three colors: Black, White and Brown. Here's an odd note, the report states that users must have a Google Gmail account for the phone to work.
