Im lovin it though i think the black will look better yay im excited again… well i never really stopped but ya know!
[Reply]
I was very excited until I saw these pics. I hope that this is not the right pics cause that is the ugliest phone I have ever seen!! Sorry!
[Reply]
I hope it comes out in black…looks sweet tho
[Reply]
is this really it
[Reply]
Cant wait to see it in black, i cant notice the “chin”? What im want to see is final official specs.
[Reply]
i think it is smoku.. nice spacious keyboard big screen black should look waaay better
[Reply]
aahh tmo news you are like the tits on a perfect broad thanks manfor showing me my long awaited new phone cant freakin wait
[Reply]
Seriously, I don’t understand why so many people think this phone is the ugliest phone they’ve ever seen. It’s not an iPhone (cosmetically speaking), but I don’t see it as being ugly. I don’t get it.
[Reply]
I was really hoping for a better looking phone.
(
I can’t show this thing off to my friends that have an iphone, they would laugh at me.
I’m so disappointed with the overall appearance of the product. What the **** happened to the touch screen and
those “fierce” features? This is not the iphone killer in any way.. HTC needs to go back to the drawing board and give me something FEROSH.
I think I’ll wait for that samsung “taco” haaa or Tocco whatever….
Laters ******
Guillenx
[Reply]
quick, somebody charge the battery
[Reply]
guillenx, I think it does have a touch screen.
The beauty of it will be all the applications you can load up.
[Reply]
Have to agree…….This phone in black will look hot.
[Reply]
Umm, what’s with all of the suprise? Don’t get me wrong, I’m as happy as anyone to see an actual photo of my next phone, but it looks exactly as it does in the sketched and photoshopped versions we’ve all seen. Abd not to mention the “Darth Vader” video.
And @ Guillen, uhh, the touch screen is sitting right in front of you, big as day.
And if your willing to pay 200-350 dollars for something to “show to your friends”, then mayb your better off with the Tocco or whatever its called.
[Reply]
In the great words of Ice cube… “Today was a good day…”
[Reply]
While I dont think this is not going to win any beauty contest I hope it make up in functionality. Similar to the Google website. Not the prettiest page out there but it does its job very well.
I am a current curve user (ok, ok abuser) and while my device is not as sexy as an iphone it sure is much faster. I hope the G1 will follow along that line.
And lmao @ Guillenx ” I can’t show this thing off to my friends that have an iphone, they would laugh at me.” After they laugh show them the iris password on ur phone or the barcode scanner. haha or even MMS.
[Reply]
This phone is far from ugly. It looks nice as hell matter of fact. And this phone is not meant to be a fashion statement first, its all about android OS. So, if you’re not looking for functionality over beauty, look elsewhere. But, if you can settle for nice looking phone instead of sexy phone, but with the best OS in the WORLD, here is your Mrs. RIGHT!!
[Reply]
i’m a little dissappointed with the look of this phone. i mean if you put it side by side with the rest of htc’s line up this thing looks straight hideous. Not to mention the design and positioning of the qwerty looks wrong. theres more space on the right side then the left. doesnt this seem like its going to be awkward to text. the quality of this phone looks like a sidekick. the buttons look cartoonish at best. wheres the matte black. Please save us matte black. hopefully this is still the testing phone they used while working on android and htc has some insanely sexxxxy phone that has johnny cash’s swagger and a little bit kate beckinsales striking beauty!
[Reply]
THIS IS NOT THE PHONE PEOPLE ITS IS A RUSE>>> THE REALY PHONE IS COMING>
[Reply]
My current thoughts on the G1 are this:
It is kind of like your kid sister, you get excited at the thought of having one and then she comes along, and as is the case with all new-born babies, she is ugly. She grows on you though and befpre you know it all your friends want a piece. So sure this thing might not be as cosmetically refined as the iPhone, but looks aren’t what we are after, we want to have something that “just works”, something another product promised but fell a little short on.
[Reply]
Come on lets be honest……With people lucky enough to have a full upgrade coming and paying under 200 dollars for a phone that has what this does.3G.TOUCHSCREEN Please tell me how you could not be happy……..
[Reply]
A general question to everyone who thinks this phone looks terrible – what would be your improvements?
I personally think it looks fine and I can’t see anything that would really improve the design except to change the big-*** “MENU” on the menu button to an icon like the other four.
Not too thrilled with the “trackball” thing but it looks more like a sensor for a fingertip than an actual moving ball. I’m concerned about finger oil and pocket lint gunking it up… had to throw away an Apple Mighty Mouse because the scroll ball got filled with crud. After 3 complete disassembles of the mouse and scroll ball sensor, I just got fed up with the amount of work required to maintain a mouse and threw it in the bin.
[Reply]
@ShotWithAnSLR
Nice analogy lol
Anyway, I agree that it looks sort of like a toy compared to the likes of what HTC has put out lately, but I wouldn’t call it ugly. I admit that my first thought was that HTC did not spend nearly the same amount of resources as it did on their latest handsets. But that thought quickly left my mind.
Let me say this, though: I love the Diamond and Touch Pro, however, if anyone tries to compare the Dream to any of those, they’d be missing the point. As much as I would like to see a refined, super ******* sexy, dope, beautiful, shiny iPhone trouncing phone (on the best carrier, T-mobile
), the focus is on Android and the possibilities that it brings.
And, yeah, the Black one would be much better looking.
[Reply]
@JEFF…I really do believe that is a finger sensor instead of a trackball….Blackberry is known for the trackball not HTC……..And from what i have seen from the pics i would have noticed a trackball by now so my thinking is a finger sensor
[Reply]
If this is the real phone, it would have been nice if they would have taken a picture of the system information screen, showing for instance, RAM?
[Reply]
just me: HTC had one phone with a trackball, the P3300 with the RollR.
http://www.mobile-review.com/pda/review/image/htc/love/pics/pic10.jpg
The RollR is definitely a ball but most photos face on have it looking flat.
http://www.elmasbarato.com.es/pub/images/htc_p3300.jpg
So I dunno, but we’ll see at some point soon… I’m just trying to not let the fanboyism completely turn me off to this phone. It’s like the antichrist version of the Jesus Phone. If the OS is unusable, it’s going to suck no matter how hyped it is by either HTC, Tmobile, the user community, or, mephistopholies himself.
[Reply]
not bad.. but im still gettin the T919/Tocca unless we’re gonna get that MDA.. any info of that MDA coming to the states???
[Reply]
@jhop206 yes itsa coming in nov they wanna let da android shine b4 they hit the customers off wid da touch pro stack that bread and wait thats all u can do
[Reply]
@ T1 Connet
REALLY!!? i thought it was confirmed that HTC wasn’t gonna release a AWS version.. by one of the pics, it looks like the Touch Diamond/MDA Compact (aka non-keyboard).. I want the Touch Pro/MDA Vario (aka w/ keyboard)
but yea, im not getting the G1.. maybe the G2 later.. i juss want customers to give their feedback first.. and plus its not that attractive
[Reply]
Ok. This phone is freaking ugly. The design looks cheap. And I am sorry but Android’s UI on this phone looks so generic. This is so not a dream… but not quite a nightmare either.
[Reply]
I love all the punks who complain about how they don’t like this phone because they can’t show it off to their iPhone-using friends. You know what? Be like your friends and get an iPhone! That’ll be one less person for me to contend with for the pre-sale supply.
[Reply]
black version sort of

[Reply]
@JEFF……Did not know that….ty for the info
[Reply]
Not too bad. I may wait for the T-929 Leica though. An 8 megapixel cam on the phone will be awesome.
[Reply]
Very nice.
[Reply]
@smoku/…ty for the link…….I stand corrected it is a scroll ball
[Reply]
well i like it , they did not take the same step the other cell phone makers did . they went out on a lim . but it does look a little cheap . but its the 1st of its kind . so thats what makes it hot . like paris hilton would say thats HOT !!!!!
[Reply]
@J
link for T-929 leica?
[Reply]
I’m really disappointed with this and have been since the FCC pics came out. I was hoping for something that looked like the Touch Pro but with a larger screen. I usually love HTC’s designs but this is boring and kind of old looking.
[Reply]
the real question that I am sure everyone wants an answer to is:
Does this phone come with that amazing leopard print back drops? That alone must be worth $300 large.
When will we see pictures with better lighting, more detail, a novel idea would be a video of this unit in action.
My experience with HTC has been pretty positive, minus faulty batteries, but at least we can replace our own batteries. Google also has yet to let me down, plus I never stop being amazed with what “We the People” can create for apps.
Android > Apple
[Reply]
does anybody know if it will have Wi-Fi/UMA calling?
Also will it be able to do VOIP calling?
That is what I really want to know………
[Reply]
@guillenx : Get the Iphone and please your little friends you insecure retard.
[Reply]
Overall, I think it is a decent looking phone. I am looking for a phone that is functional first, and a fashion statement second. So I am definitely stoked for this phone. Having said that, just some minor cosmetic changes would make this a better looking phone:
1. eliminate the beveling between the bottom of the screen and the top of the chassis housing the buttons. That way, when the screen is closed, the phone would look like one “solid” unit, as opposed to “added on” look the button house currently has right now, and all you would see is a small thin line where the screen
2. make the buttons larger. they seem comically small for the amount of space that surrounds them, and it would have been nice to have the whole button light up, as opposed to just an icon in the middle of the button.
Just some thoughts….

[Reply]
hey quick question,
in an earlier post you said if your not “close” to a 3G network the presale price doesnt apply. how close is close, kansas city is on the list of cities & im in wichita, kansas.
ive been holding on to my SK3 for long enough waiting for this.
ha
[Reply]
The more I see and read about this phone the more I’m likely to pass. The design is terrible, the phone is a brick at 5.6oz and some key features seem to be lacking. I ask myself to do I really want to be an early adapter .. probably not. But I won’t make a final choice till I actually see the final product. Meanwhile I am also waiting for the Samsung 919 or whatever it will be called. I’m really interested in how that will compare to G1
[Reply]
i see it has a qwerty but is it true it also has a touch keyboard as well?
[Reply]
@madison im not sure how far wichita is from kansas city but if ur part of their metro area i think u would be far u can call and ask the rep if wichita is part of the kansas city market…
@dave for me i like this phone vs the t919 because browsing the interenet is different on the t919 from what i saw its kind of stacked browsing and doesnt look like the actual website and this phone its the actual site and the keyboard
[Reply]
@jhop206 well tmonews did have a post that had a touch pro with no aws being tested by the fcc and on the post with the g1 logo revealed check my post for what i said to another user he is the one that said it and i believe it tmo cant just have the wing for a winmo phone thats leaving us out of the loop and for the rest of you guys stop complaining about the way the phone looks its different it looks nice and we dont fully know what tmo is gonna put in it if ya dont like it shut up about it keep that sh”t to yourselves. you’re really making it look bad for the people who want it. please!!!!!!
[Reply]
well T1 u have to admit they could of made it a little better looking… it is pretty early 90s but im still gettin it
[Reply]
i’ve never been one to choose looks over personality, but this thing is hideous! i’ll stick with my curve until t-mobile decides to invest in focus groups.
