The HTC, Google Android, T-Mobile Offering
« on: August 29, 2008, 10:15:05 PM »


Android-powered HTC Dream - aka T-Mobile G1 - have leaked, courtesy of some internal carrier documents that TmoWorld claim to have received.  They apparently confirm several dates, including an official HTC Dream launch on October 13th.  However, on October 17th T-Mobile will begin taking pre-orders from existing customers, using an exclusive online site.



Preorder price is an apparently confirmed $199 (following an instant rebate) and will be billed to customers’ accounts; an $18 upgrade fee will also be charged. A new 2-year contract will be required, together with an unlimited data plan similar to that on the iPhone.  T-Mobile will offer two such plans, one at $35 providing unlimited data & messaging, and a cheaper $25 plan that includes 400 messages.  As rumored, customers will also need a GMail account in order to set up the phone.

Not bad. Depends on how well the software and touch works and what apps are available. Then again, I'm on Verizon and can't change since it's a family plan.  

Oh, who am I kidding, I don't need one of those things. rolleyes.gif
