HTC Dream - Of Androids And Electric Sheep Review


There has been a lot of talk about the HTC Dream. And we do mean quite a bit. Introduced as the T-Mobile G1 in the second half of 2008, the first Google Android phone did create quite a stir in geek circles. The delicious open-source Android platform kept budding and experienced developers busy and hard at work in delivering new applications to the Android Market. With so much riding on the freedom to download apps to enhance your user experience, it’s irrefutable that the stage is set for an app store war. Unlike the creamy white T-Mobile G1, what we got here in Singapore is the matte black version. This is fine by us, though we did inquire on the possible availability of the white version from SingTel. There has been no word yet on this, but we do think that having the color option could raise the consumer interest. We love the Dream’s 3.2-inch capacitive touch screen. Period. Generous on the screen real estate and friendly to the thumb, the Dream didn’t give us problems when we were navigating through its unfamiliar (at first) user interface.
