T-Mobile将开始销售HTC Dream—一款装配Google Android开源移动平台的智能手机。据华尔街日报的报道，这款手机已做好与苹果的IPHONE和RIM的黑莓进行抗衡的准备。

按以前的报道，HTC Dream将会在9月17日提供预订，但是华尔街日报却报道T-Mobile将在9月23日发布。Androd官方博客Stefan Frank贴了一份关于9月23日早上10点在纽约记者招待会的邀请函.

HTC Dream在八月份通过FCC(联邦通信委员会）批准。

该手机的详细配置还未经确认，但是一些如华尔街日报和非官方T-Mobile博客Tmonews等消息来源表明HTC Dream将支持3G网络，有5×3寸的触摸屏，轨迹球和一个侧滑或旋转QWERTY键盘。

HTC Dream将是市场上第一款装配Google Android软件的智能手机，更吸引人的是在Google Android平台上已经开发了各种第三方应用软件。

不像苹果，Google一直对那些想要为Google Android手机开发软件的开发者提供大力支持—Google发起Android开发挑战者计划，为最佳Google Android应用软件设立1000万美元的奖项。

首轮获奖软件包括可以让用户在他们手机上轻轻一点就能叫来出租车的Cab3me软件，和自动跟踪用户移动碳足迹的ECORIO软件。

Dream On: T-Mobile To Unveil First Google Android Phone Soon

T-Mobile will be selling the HTC Dream, a smartphone that will run the Google Android open source mobile platform and is poised to take on the Apple iPhone and Research in Motion’s BlackBerry, in late October, according to an article by the Wall Street Journal.

Previous reports indicated the HTC Dream could be available for pre-order as early as Sept. 17, but the Wall Street Journal says that T-Mobile will announce the HTC Dream on Sept. 23. Stefan Frank of the blog Android Authority posted a screenshot of his invitation to a press conference on Sept. 23 at 10:30 a.m. in New York City.

The HTC Dream was approved by the FCC back in August.

Details have not been confirmed, but sources such as the Wall Street Journal and the unofficial T-Mobile blog Tmonews indicate that it’s likely the HTC Dream will run on the 3G network, and have a 5-inch by 3-inch touchscreen, a trackball and a sliding or swivel QWERTY keyboard.

The HTC Dream will be the first smartphone on the market equipped with Google Android software; interestingly, a variety of third party apps have already been created on the Google Android platform.

Unlike Apple, Google is throwing a lot of support behind developers who want to create apps for Google Android phones — Google is sponsoring the Android Developer challenge with a total of $10 million in prizes for the best Google Android apps. Winning apps from the first round of the contest include cab4me, which will allow users to order a cab with a single click on their phones, and Ecorio, which automatically tracks a user’s mobile carbon footprint.
