I agree on the battery life comment above– I immediately fell in love with one of HTC/T-mobile’s last new phones– the _shadow_. After only a few days use, I realized the dismal battery life was a deal-killer, and I sold the phone immediately, went back to my trusty moto phone.

I hope that HTC learned a lesson from that– but I also assume due to the increased size (compared to the much smaller shadow), that they reserved enough room for a decent battery. All the cool things included like 3mp camera, wifi, HUGE screen, etc- are all totally useless and pointless if you have no juice….

@blehman

You are going to see a majority of T-Mobile phones with GPS because that is what they are going to use for E911 locating on the 3G network. Without GPS, every new site would have to have a GSM node and a 3G node in order to triangulate your location. So, you are going to see GPS more and more in T-Mobile phones.

I am über excited for all of this. I really hope that the app store goes smoothly. that talk of dual app stores between Android and T-mobile kind of has me worried but I am sure they will work it out. I have been telling people for months now to stay with T-mobile because that have some crazy awesome trucks up their sleeves. to no avail, three of my friends switched to At&t for the stupid iphone. now I kind of feel like laughing in their faces. I think I might just wait until I actually have my phone in my hands and then do it. that’s might be more effective.

You know that just because there are programs written for gps doesn’t mean that every phone will have gps. I have a computer running linux and have a free open source program to use my bluetooth devices, but my computer doesn’t have the capabilities to utilize that program. That being said, I do believe the Dream will have GPS and all sorts of other bells and whistles, but other Android phones don’t have to utilize every program written for the OS.

I just hope the battery life is better than the iPhone 3G

You can see how the barcode scanner works by looking it up on YouTube.
