Remember how I told you that I tend to trust rumors? Well, I do and I can say that I wasn’t wrong when I said that the HTC Dream aka G1 aka Android or Google phone will soon be available. Why am I so sure? Because the HTC Dream has been approved by FCC and it should be out sometime around September 17th for T-Mobile customers.
I remind you that the HTC G1 will feature a 5-inch long and 3-inch wide touchscreen, 3G support, 3-megapixel camera, a slide-out QWERTY keyboard, Bluetooth 2.0 and EDR compatible. The HTC Dream will be released by T-Mobile therefore the users will be able to access the App Store that T-Mobile will launch soon. Yeah, I know - it kind of resembles Apple’s App Store but that’s life, it’s an application store so what would you call it?
Other features include the possibility of connecting to T-Mobile’s Hotspot @Home service and that if you want to use the e-mail you have to use Gmail from Google as for the moment we don’t know if it will support Microsoft Exchange.
I don’t want to rush myself like others and dub the HTC Dream as the iPhone killer because Google’s G1 is not out yet and we don’t know too much about it. Although the T-Mobile customers will get it sooner, it seems like the HTC G1 will be available for open public in November for a price of around $400.

Tmobile isn’t launching a new app store. They have had their own version of an app store called the “download catalog” on the sidekicks from quite some years now
