This phone has the potential to be Tmobile's iPhone and Tmo is just sitting on it. Any tech person knows this phone has great potential to be awesome, so circulating info amongst tech blog sites and the like really isn't doing much: we all know it exists and have formed our opinions already, be they good, bad, or indifferent. How about you tell the masses, Tmo? The form factor has mass appeal.

There's a little thing called Christmas coming up that many people use as an excuse to get a new phone.

Since T-Mobile doesn't have someone with Steve Jobs' charisma, they're not going to have a huge press event. Instead, they're planning on selling a few to current customers at a very low price with the hopes that those customers will create a lot of buzz on the internet before it goes on sale to anyone in October. I'd be willing to bet that they're going to take out quite a few television ads to show it off as well like Samsung did for the Instinct.<br><br>It won't be an event, like both comings of the iPhone were, but it's not going to just suddenly appear on T-Mobile's site.

But considering the limited deployment of 1700 (T-mo US is the only 3G network using that band), the Dream will likely be a multi-band device -- maybe 900/1700/2100mhz (which would -really- stick it to AT&T since it uses 1900mhz).]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[fh]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Aug 18th 2008 8:23AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on ]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/18/htc-dream-fcc-approved-android-clear-for-launch/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/18/htc-dream-fcc-approved-android-clear-for-launch/</guid><description><![CDATA[Should have been a reply to Matt ^]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[fh]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Aug 18th 2008 8:24AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on ]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/18/htc-dream-fcc-approved-android-clear-for-launch/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/18/htc-dream-fcc-approved-android-clear-for-launch/</guid><description><![CDATA[I would love to see T-Mobile stick it to AT&T by bringing the phone over to the 900/1700/2100MHz bands only because even if T-Mobile doesn't get exclusivity over the phone, AT&T users can't use an unlocked phone on their network anyway.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Setnev]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Aug 18th 2008 9:49PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on ]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/18/htc-dream-fcc-approved-android-clear-for-launch/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/18/htc-dream-fcc-approved-android-clear-for-launch/</guid><description><![CDATA[Do you guys have the full FCC link for the testing (mentioning the jogball, Bluetooth, etc.)?<br><br>The link above only shows a 1-page WiFi certification...]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Phineas J.

This phone has the potential to be Tmobile's iPhone and Tmo is just sitting on it. Any tech person knows this phone has great potential to be awesome, so circulating info amongst tech blog sites and the like really isn't doing much: we all know it exists and have formed our opinions already, be they good, bad, or indifferent. How about you tell the masses, Tmo? The form factor has mass appeal. It seem to have a SideKick-ish form but with an easy to use, potentially powerful platform--satisfying the needs of the tween, business person, and techno-savy person alike.<br><br>They haven't released few enough details to leave me intrigued and wanting to know more nor have they released enough to have me drooling.<br><br>Tmobile, make it work."<br><br><br>Ya I totaly agree , but the thing is.. Google's strategy is to be under teh radar until surprise.<br>but thats at the cost for evaluating on your potential consumer responses to the prototype product.<br><br>So guys DONT DREAD the point is not about the first android phone its about the launch of the platform! There are other top end hardware phones coming out like touch pro or x1 or w/e. If you want different hardware then get different hardware. it will be bound for android to get ported to your handset. Anyways i got me touch pro as plan b and sooner or later Tegra is cumin.<br><br>CHeers :)<br><br>ps. ill be converting my iphone 2 a gphone hahah]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[imgroupie]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Aug 18th 2008 9:19AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on ]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/18/htc-dream-fcc-approved-android-clear-for-launch/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/18/htc-dream-fcc-approved-android-clear-for-launch/</guid><description><![CDATA[This might be the most difficult post I've ever read.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Frank Furter]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Aug 18th 2008 11:15AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on ]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/18/htc-dream-fcc-approved-android-clear-for-launch/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/18/htc-dream-fcc-approved-android-clear-for-launch/</guid><description><![CDATA[T-Mobile Only?

The only difference between the iphone and this is you can unlock it and it still wont work for other carriers if T-Mobile & HTC pick up the 900/1700/2100 band support on the phone.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Setnev]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Aug 18th 2008 9:48PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on ]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/18/htc-dream-fcc-approved-android-clear-for-launch/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/18/htc-dream-fcc-approved-android-clear-for-launch/</guid><description><![CDATA[here is the sar info for the device... <a href="https://fjallfoss.fcc.gov/prod/oet/forms/blobs/retrieve.cgi?attachment_id=986142&native_or_pdf=pdf" rel="nofollow">https://fjallfoss.fcc.gov/prod/oet/forms/blobs/retrieve.cgi?attachment_id=986142&native_or_pdf=pdf</a><br><br>it has a slider, tilt 15 degrease is that a standard test or???]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[bojan]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Aug 18th 2008 9:42AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on ]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/18/htc-dream-fcc-approved-android-clear-for-launch/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/18/htc-dream-fcc-approved-android-clear-for-launch/</guid><description><![CDATA["tilt 15 degrease"?

The stickers are LDI's or Liquid Damage Indicators. If they get tripped and turn red or pink your warranty is null and void. Make sure you get cell phone insurance. I can only imagine the cost of this phone (likely $300 - $400) without the savings of the carrier (AT&T or T-Mobile) subsidy. Paying $5 or $6 a month is 100% worth it, especially if you're a power user and are on the phone constantly.<br><br>Anyone know if this will be going to other carriers like Verizon? I'm one of those guys whose family and friends are firmly entrenched on the Verizon network (free mobile to mobile calls) so I won't be switching anytime soon.<br><br>Thanks,<br>Scott Hardy<br><a href="http://www.topclassactions.com" rel="nofollow">http://www.topclassactions.com</a><br>]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Scott Hardy]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Aug 18th 2008 9:50AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on ]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/18/htc-dream-fcc-approved-android-clear-for-launch/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/18/htc-dream-fcc-approved-android-clear-for-launch/</guid><description><![CDATA[from what i know Verizon likes to keep a firm grip over their phones and they probably wont be breaking the walls down until the demand for android on Verizon and atat is very high. Even if Verizon had android they would probably add unwanted customizations and this is not just Verizon but all carriers, this is one of the problems with open platforms. The carrier can still customize it. google is going for tmobile, sprint and probly then atat and verizon.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[imgroupie]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Aug 18th 2008 10:06AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on ]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/18/htc-dream-fcc-approved-android-clear-for-launch/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/18/htc-dream-fcc-approved-android-clear-for-launch/</guid><description><![CDATA[the pic is a wtf though ... 1amp at 5 volts?!!<br><br>With the USB power limit being 0.5A for a port, that's an instant motherboard/port fryer, unless you're using a powered usb hub that can provide the current for these.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Ady]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Aug 18th 2008 10:49AM</pubDate></item></channel></rss>
