"San Francisco - The mobile phone High Tech Computer (HTC) has been developing to run on the Android software from Google will be called "Dream," have a large touchscreen and full QWERTY keypad, a person close to the situation said Thursday.
HTC may become the first handset maker in the world to put out a mobile phone developed around Android , but it faces stiff competition from Samsung, a separate source said. Samsung has stepped up its effort to put out a Google phone, the person said.
HTC's Google handset is just over 5-inches long and 3-inches wide, with a keypad underneath the screen that either slides out or swivels out. The aim of the keypad is for easy e-mail, note-taking, and writing Web addresses. Internet navigational controls are situated below the screen on the handset.
The handset will likely hit the market near the end of this year, the person said.
The company officially remained mum on the handset. "We cannot comment on this product," said Maggie Cheng, an HTC representative.
Last November, HTC became the first company to admit to developing a mobile phone based on Android , although Samsung, Motorola, and other handset developers are part of the group dedicated to furthering the software, the Open Handset Alliance .
Android, an open source software platform that includes an OS, is designed to take advantage of Internet services for mobility. The software could become a potent new rival to Windows Mobile and other handset operating systems . At the launch ceremony, Google announced that over 30 companies had joined the Open Handset Alliance."

the android has street view...wow...it looks crazy good.
mmmhh!!
...Let's see!!
very cool info & looks of the "dream"...hope it comes true soon!
it will be interesting to see if Quake really does run smoothly @ 30fps on a 300+ mhz processor too....
tell me it will be gsm only and i'm going to beat some htc heads in.
omg .... appears to be a real dream come true ...
I think that won't be the final look...
... starting from that Windows key clearly visible on the keyboard!
looks the dogs bollericks doesn't it. I'm glad the Google initiative managed to persuade HTC to switch to their platform It'll be interesting how this effects the HTC/Microsoft relationship which has always been a bit bumchum for my liking.
more android vids here.
Looking at this: http://www.pdadb.net/index.php?m=specs&id=790
It seems to be WM and not Android
is this OS specific to the device or are you going to be able to hack existing ppc's to install it as an alternative to wm?

If I were a betting man I would say device specific even with "Android" aka Linux, I think, you would need device specific drivers. If your device uses the same components then you may be able to.

I'm developing on android, and what is shown in the video is definitly android. i dont know if the "dream" phone is shipped with android but htc is working on an android device. and btw: android really kicks ass! not just for developers but for endusers too.
I don't think the "Dream" phone which is what that article is about will have android.
After playing around with the Android SDK, I have to say I can't wait for a device, and to see what everyone has programmed!
would be very cool if community would develop this around existing devices... wm is so inefficient I'm excited to see a viable alternative but would be unfortunate if it only works on new devices...

What exactly does "bumchum" mean?
I want to see a phone with mostly screen area (Like iPhone), and a slide out keyboard that tilts (like the Tilt). From the looks of the Android demos, it looks like most everything will be done with touch inputs on the screen. However there will be folks (like me) that want a good QWERTY keyboard for SMS, and to be able to prop it up on a table in tilt mode for hands-free video calling.
I used the dream... only for a a minute or so. I work for one of the companies make a part for the phone.
Sorry for the quality, all I had was my PDA on hand to get the pic and upcoming vid.
If you want to know anything, please let me know and I might be able to help.
OK! sorry for another post but the vid finally came through. Get VLC or quicktime to play it. I am new on this posting vids so for now please dont hate me for the rapidshare.
not too good, but its a vid. sorry for the format... blackjack 2 records that way.

I'm not really into writing hardware news (I don't have the time for something that other tech writers / bloggers also elaborate on - instead, I prefer spending my time on tutorials, software reviews, Bibles and unique, genuine hacks instead), but the latest hardware news (reported on by Geek.com) is indeed pretty interesting and certainly shows there will be some REALLY exciting Windows Mobile devices in the (unfortunately, not very near: late 2008 / early 2009) future. Let me cite Geek.com:
First look at Qualcomm’s new Fairbanks and Anchorage mobile platforms
The other model, the more exciting one for most people, is the “Anchorage”. This is based on Qualcomm’s Snapdragon platform so it will use a 1.0GHz processor (said to operate at 1/2 watt peak) along with WiFi, Bluetooth, GPS, cellular, and a lot more good stuff. The unofficial word is that Snapdragon will offer close to the best power/performance ratio of anything on the market. The Anchorage device will be aimed more at productivity and the test model I saw had a QWERTY keyboard. The form factor of this model was a lot like the Nokia N810, but the actual design will be whatever OEMs want. So far we know that Samsung and HTC are on board, but there are a few others that are not official yet.

Anchorage
Anchorage and iPhone
The Anchorage was running Windows Mobile 5.0, which was only used for display purposes as any OS, even a full OS, can be run on the 1.0GHz processor. It also has the camera with video recording, GPS, and live TV playback capability. Because it has a cellular signal it will be prime competition for a device like the HTC Advantage, though it will also compete against products like the Nokia N810 and Sony mylo 2.
Everything is still in its early stages and things will change a lot once the OEMs get their hands on them and start to customize. This may mean lost/added functionality as well as many different form factors and large swings in the price. All we do know is that we should start to see the devices released by the end of 2008, possible early 2009.
Which are all the Phones with - 1 GHz Qualcomm CPU ?
& which is Best of them all ?
The Acer F1 and Toshiba TG01 both boast Snapdragon processors. Many MIDs/Netbooks/Smartbooks whatever you want to call them also have it. I estimate that by next year it will be common for many devices to use it. It is revolutionary IMO
Sony Ericsson Xperia X2 will have Snapdragon & WM6.5!

I originally was excited for the device, as I loved my N800, but this just seems like a normal smartphone for me. The browser doesn't even seem to be any better than the older NIT. Don't get me wrong, it still looks pretty good, but not good enough to switch to T-Mobile which has no 3G coverage in my area.
Interesting, I don't know much about the previous Maeme devices so could you tell me more about them? Is the N900 a step backwards in anyway?
The device is really thick, even for a qwerty slider...
It's pretty much the same thickness as my TyTN II so for me there is really not a problem.
Did this thing get moved to Marketplace because I listed the price of the pre-order for the N900?

The old NIT devices were great, nice big screens, decent development community, and good web browser. The N900 just basically seems like a smartphone, while the older ones seemed like something bigger and better. If the old ones were updated with the Cortex-A8, I would definitely purchase one. This seems more multifunctional, as you have the old NIT stuff, with a phone. My major disappointments: Small screen(3.5 vs 4.1) and no model without built in phone. 6/10th of an inch may seem like very little, but it is the difference for a great and a good browser for me. The good news is, Maemo4 applications aren't too hard to port.
So pretty much the thing you don't like about it is way I like it. The older devices IMO was too big not really pocket size. You could use it as a phone using VoIP but only through WiFi. This fit my needs because it is a phone that can pretty much do everything that those older devices could but better, faster and smaller.
Yeah, pretty much. I hope that the debian and android ports still work, though.
Hi guys,
Today i came across the information about the new HTC Pyramid aka Sensation.
April 12th is the day when this new device may see the daylight in UK.
Here is the info what is posted on phandroid.com
" April 12th Could Be the Date for the HTC Pyramid Launching Under the HTC Sensation Nameby Kevin Krause on April 6th, 2011 at 6:43 am
One of the prime candidates for HTC’a April 12th event in the UK might have just been confirmed. As many guessed, the latest rumors put the HTC Pyramid as the device the handset manufacturer is eager to show off. The other bit of news here is that the phone will launch with the street name HTC Sensation, matching a recent trademark filing. When the phone is actually released is still up for debate, but within the next few months seems a safe bet.
The Pyramid/Sensation has been rumored to feature a set of specs that stack up to the recently announce HTC EVO 3D which we have learned is also slated for Europe. How it will differentiate from that handset other than the 3D aspect isn’t known at this time."

They will unlock it with a future software update, i'm sure
they did it with the Desire
Shame it's only 768mb RAM....
the Evo 3D is 1 Gb.
why not this?
well EVO 3D it will be nice too, but the price will be much more than for Sensation.
Why every1 go for this 3D ? Cant see any benefit to have 3D screen of 4" size.
Anyway these days 3D technology is no good for me cos cause my headache

they couldnt with the hd2 because winmo didnt support 720p. Otherwise they would have unlocked it. It was the stupid software restriction.
Im quite certain they will release 1080p for this. Its their flagship first gsm dual core beast!
100% find that VERY hard to believe that (as someone who has done assembler and hit low level hardware ... hard).
If the hardware exists, its just a (software) driver away from use and i'm damn sure HTC's devs would know how to do it.
edit: I find it MUCH more likely they said .... "ahh poke it, we ain't developing WinMo anymore so lets not waste time on it"
Can't wait for this! Hopefully it'll be my next upgrade!

There is already a thread about HTC Pyramid.
You can find it here:

Said that, thread closed
The previous thread was closed with the similar topic, but nothing was really said on which one member would choose. So I bring you the poll... I just found out about the Xperia Ion and everything about it is screaming at me to get it, but I don't know when it's going to come out. So which one would you choose, if you had the choice? Let the debate begin!

I really don´t like the "look" of Sony-phones. So my choice would be easy...
Yeah, they both look kind of odd. The One XL looks like the iPhone 3G, and the Ion looks like iPhone 5.

Xperia build quality for me is ok. But i hated the rest.
I can't accept it even it gives the android expirience.
In that case i chose the XL for sure even with small battery and no sd slot.

Both are good competitors. But in my opinion Ion is better.

... No they don't.
My choice would be Sony Ion...I think it looks better...so...get it
I'm desperately hoping that the Ion is released by my upgrade date (June 6th). I have a feeling that Sony decided not to launch the Ion with Android 2.3.7, thus the delay. Why release a phone with one operating system with an upgrade available a month later when you could delay launch for a month and release it with the current OS version? The major complaint about this phone when it was first announced was that it would be launched with GB. I'm hoping Sony saw the light at the end of the tunnel.

You pre-ordered? You bastard. I have to wait til AT&T rolls it out so I can use my upgrade. I just hope it's not the same price as the Galaxy Note.
Saw this online today and was wondering if anyone else thinks it could actually end up being a hit for serious android users who are into gaming. Here's a link to the product page on the manufacturers website. It shows off it containing some pretty good specs too such as, USB OTG, HDMI output, lot's of hardware buttons, pre-rooted, Jellybean 4.1.1, Cloud gaming app, etc.
Here are pics from the link above:

THOUGHTS!?!?
Update: This area on the website shows other android-based knockoffs.
This device seems really cool. Wouldn't mind owning one of them if it performs well.

Agreed- if it performs well, it would probably be similar to the xperia play, except with a dozen more hardware buttons that can probably all be custom mapped too!
This device is awsome.
I had a play with one recently.. pretty impressed with the build quality and it seemed fairly slick/smooth in operation. Didn't have enough of a WOW factor to make me buy one though - that and the fact that the wife was with me moaning on about how I've already got a PSP that I don't play etc.. LOL!

Thats a good question!!... until i clicked on the above link i hadnt realised they did more than one version!! I had never heard of this manufacturer until about 2 weeks ago..
I'm back in the UK now.. but for anyone else local i saw it in the small Android shop on 2F Amoy Plaza, Kowloon, Hong Kong.
I might even have a picture of it somewhere to see if that can shed any light on it..
Wonder what the battery life is like?
