T-mobile’s Android HTC Dream gets pictured, launch soon
With a recent approval by the FCC, the HTC Dream is scheduled to land on T-mobile before year’s end. While the Dream is slimmer than the iPhone 3G, the biggest mystery up until this point has been the device layout. Thanks to the Android Community we finally see the big picture, complete with a five-row QWERTY keyboard, a home and menu button and a trackball.

An interesting piece of information is that both an ‘Android OS’ logo as well as a ‘with Google’ logo are displayed on the back of the HTC Dream. With T-mobile myFaves support, and 3G connectivity for T-mobile’s AWS 1700MHz spectrum things are looking very bright for the number 4 US carrier. Current speculation puts the HTC Dream launch for existing T-mobile customers (pre-release) in a little over 2 weeks, with a national launch following in about 6 weeks.
