No one knows if this image is real, a phony or simply a mock up, but we may very well be getting our first non-blurry look at the HTC Dream. And one thing to note–this one’s in black.
As you may remember, last week we talked several times about this Android-based handset. We got a look at the device via video, rumors abounded about the G1 moniker and a potential September release date on T-Mobile. But this is the first time we’ve had a clear overhead view of the HTC Dream.
The rumored pricing list for the highly anticipated phone follows.
New Activation 2 Year Contract $199.99
New Activation 1 Year Contract $249.99Full Upgrade 2 Year Contract $217.99
Full Upgrade 1 Year Contract $267.99
Partial Upgrade $367.99Pre-Order Full Upgrade 2 Year Contract $167.99
Pre-Order Full Upgrade 1 Year Contract $217.99
Pre-Order Partial Upgrade $317.99Retail Price $399
(upgrade pricing includes the $18 upgrade fee)

Why would you publish this?! TmoWorld is brand new, has already gotten half their information incorrect, and their writers aren’t even very good. Definitely not somewhere you want to link to in a post….or somewhere you want to take a post from

Jake, it’s not as though Brenda didn’t disclaim that this may not be legit. I have to say that if the video we saw not too long ago was legit, this looks on par. . . . Though it does look painfully bland, in my opinion. I’m looking forward to seeing some official marketing materials. I’m a strong candidate for a pre-order, having recently switched to T-Mobile.
Hopefully it won’t be long, now. . . .
Thanks Brenda!

@ JAKE
tell me one thing that we have gotten wrong so far?

actually you should inform yourself before you speak, most of the writters in tmoworld were the people that got TmoNews.com all there NEWS!
@ BRENDA
We do not claim that the picture is real…. one of our writters found it in the MacRumors.com forum and decided to do an article of the pic….we agree with you in the fact that it looks alot like the video we saw not too long ago. this does look on par and thats why we posted it. the pricing however, is real.
By The Way BRENDA, we appreciate that you wrote this post! it is great!

Yeah I hope this isn’t real the keyboard looks like a sidekick keyboard but the way the phone in the picture is designed it would be uncomfortable to type with

Neutralchrissy October 28, 2008
it looks good enough for me. i have a blackberry pearl now. so im going to try it out for a while and see what happens from there. if i dont like it ill just return it. but what will suck is that where i live there is no 3G yet… im worried that the internet wont be fast enough for my liking. oh well like i said if i dont like it ill just return that phone and get another.
