CTIA is just days away and we all eagerly await Robert Dotsons keynote and any and all goodies he might announce in his speech. Until then here is yet one more confirmation of Android coming closer and closer to launch. An anonymous tipster emailed a screenshot of SKU codes and well I think you guys will read exactly we already knew, three colors: Black, Brown and White. I don’t know what a usual time frame is for those numbers to be loaded and a phones release is but its so close, so very very close. Enjoy!
On a secondary note, we’d like to point out that while we see this phone labeled as the G1, the FCC docs were labeled “dream.” So the conspiracy continues again, grassy knoll perhaps? We’ve talked about this before and I know the wait is killing us all and we’re discussing anything and everything to bide the time but its worth pointing out yet again that we may be in for a two device surprise.
Thanks to everyone who sent this in!

This is great, but what’s with the “HTC KIT SDA VSW?”
Makes me think it might be shopped…but then why would anyone do that…
The SDA refers to a model no longer carried, a silver candy bar WM Standard device.
I think the speculation is really running rampant here.
The MDA has numerous names:
T-Mobile: MDA
T-Mobile Europe: MDA Vario
HTC: Wizard
HTC Internal name: WIZA200
So is it not possible that the G1 is TMobile’s and that “Dream” and “DREA100″
…are HTC’s codenames?
Sorry, submitted before it was finished. Bad morning.
Normally I would agree with you, but there has so been so much speculation and over thinking on behalf of all this Android stuff that almost anything is possible these days.
i had a sda running wm5 tmo took it back and gave me a dash but holy crap i see my new phone is progressing nicely bring it on tmo and lets get gangsta wid it.
@david im assuming there is no more speculation about the looks of the device because its so close to release and no new photos have surfaced.
@T1 the looks will always be speculated until tmobile actually comes out with an ad, but im fine with it now so it can only get better
she she we got ten days to go should they give us something new to ride with by now. i need something to take my mind off the zune updates coming tomorrow.
I am going to always call It the Gphone for google phone I just like the ring to that.
maybe this means we will be able to get it
right after it gets announced? (for us that can preorder it)
maybe just maybe.
@T1 I am hoping that since there has only been one source of photos, that means we are going to be surprised. At least I hope so. My fear is some 75 year old VP is sitting up in his office twirling his mustache and saying how innovative and good looking this phone is.
yo i was just reading an article and i find it hard to believe that tmo had the best customer service in the country and now only one carrier made the list (you know who it is) and tmobile didn’t. i mean seriously from number 1 to nothing theres got to something wrong with that. makes me question jd power and associates’ rating system.
I agree T1, in my opinion tmobile always had the best customer service and always will. Jd power’s rating system was re configured and completely sucks now, its way off…. Verizons the worst customer service, like they always have been, followed by att then sprint… Even u.s. cellular has better customer service(and reception) than vzw
i think we will start seeing more stuff a couple of days befor the presale
I do not really understand the secrecy behind all of this. The only people who even know about 3G are people who care to lookin tech blogs, which I am thinking are not the majority of the clients TMobile has. The only idea that I have that could answer that question is that Google is paying HTC and Tmobile to keep it quiet, and then the day it comes out, Google bombards their website with ads covering the world with info about the phone. Plus giving them crap loads of cash as well. Ideas?
Will there be a way to watch/hear Robert Dotsons keynote online???
well do still have over a month before the phone comes out i think they would start advertising a day or 2 before the presale or even on the day of the presale since its till october 5th
that might be more people than you think with the jobsphone saying its 3g all the bandwagoners who dont know anything about 3g or even edge is getting into. i heard verizon refer to thier network as 3g. and i believe you on that shutting up thing cause she she posted a link with htc’s ceo and he was hesitant to say anything like if he does google’s gonna have him probed..
are any of the CTIA keynotes gonna be televised?
probably on youtube
@she she the presale says there selling the phone on the 17th and to be shipped on the first of oct. but what are the odds of us getting the actual device before the first. cause in that case im paying for it before i get it
Am I the only one who will be completely useless at work on Wednesday? I better get stuff done early, or stay late on Tuesday. It will be all about CTIA baby!
@vixen I am with you on that. I am going to be checking here every 5 minutes. Anything else is blocked at my work. Can’t connect to any “streaming/social” websites. Please keep us in the loop guys!!!
The G1 comes in black….Thats all I had to hear.
That sucks DR
If the design is spruced up like I think it will be, I just may get the white. I plan on making the theme song from the JEM cartoon my main ringtone! And when I’m in trouble, I’ll take out my phone and say “Synergy, I need your help!” The white is good for that lol.
@vixen and dr. remember when we first saw the g1 it was around some european phones with no signal. well engadget is saying that they are coming out with thier own. i think what we saw was their version not ours. if you wanna take a look:

Here’s a look at the UPC code:
http://www.upcdatabase.com/item/610214617774
Its all fishy. Apparently those pics were found on a Chinese forum somewhere so who knows where they came from. I don’t trust it. And since it is coming out in the UK, i definitely think it has to look better. They have their choice of nice phones. They would pour tea all over something like that. Curious this UK information pops up all of a sudden though.
word right. all we need now is tmo to unclog thier yap and spill the soup so we can bliss it up.
@T1 I saw that too. I am almost starting think that this is all some huge viral advertising campaign and they are really going to release android on an old Motorola Startec flip phone.
yo if they released android on a startac ill cop one the startac was a nice phone but this phone better be some headbanger boogie make the jobsphone die in burning hell jumpoff
check this out android & google chrome coming together . that would be so HOT !!! heres the linkhttp://androidcommunity.com/google-chrome-coming-to-android-20080903/
Click on my name it will take you do the page sorry
sorry brian but this isnt new
G1 is also a transformer… any relativity?
yeah the law of relativity. I think you meant..
“G1 is also a transformer.. coincidence?”
that sku code works in the pos of tmo—no price tho!
I mean Transformer as in Shia La Beouf, Bubblebee old school Transformers? Can you find a connection? I never watched the show. I want to know if there could be an inside connection for the concept of this open source phone. Is Apple Megatron? Are all the other phone companies Decepticons.
no connection the g stands for google and the 1 is the 1st android phone i think its coincidence but i know what you mean
Check it out. More proof
http://www.upcdatabase.com/item/610214617774
it should be tmog1…thats the name..lol, but i just refer to it as the google phone. Tmobile is being real secretive about the phone. its eating all of us up
T1 I’m not an idiot, lol! I just am thinking a little outside of the box.
I have a question for all you here. Has anyone ever used a HTC phone before? If yes, which one and how does that compare in terms of quality with BlackBerry or Nokia AND I DONT mean style alone but Voice quality as well.
@StillTMO a good place to get reviews for a lot of phones that have been out is http://www.expansys.com. They have almost all the HTC phones on there with reviews from users. For the most part, I have only seen minimal complaints about the most recent phones. Let’s face it, you can rely on all the negative ID-10-t card holders out there that can’t read directions and find a solution to their problem before posting a negative review.
@Fbarkon sorry man i know youre not an iddiot i didn’t think you knew about the old transformers some people never even saw it. just had to make sure.
I saw video of a black Dream on youtube yesterday, its over 3 min long, it was going throught all the features of the phone… i cant give the title right, i have no access to youtube at work
if you saw a black g1 its a demo
I really liked the purple, the green and the dark blue HTC G1 renders over at Android-Freak.
http://android-freak.org/blog1.php/2008/08/29/beautiful-3d-still-renders-of-the-androi#more45
Even though they are not the best 3D renders, I like the colors!
Brown seems such a wierd color for a phone…
Ok! I have been with T-Mobile since before it was T-Mobile. (VoiceStream) It is the only cell phone carrier that I have ever had. My Razor died after 3 years and I now have my husband’s Razor, which sucks. I am trying to hold out for the T-Mobile/Google phone that promises to compete with the I Phone. Employees at T-Mobile know nothing but try to keep me from jumping ship by teliing me just a little longer… I have no contract right now and could change carriers but feel a sense of loyalty. When is this freaking phone coming out. I am ready to throw this Razor into tne Ocean!
