HTC Dream… or your worst nightmare?

Now I don’t know if it’s the leopard skin background, or the fact that this is probably the  ugliest HTC device that I’ve seen in a long time, you’d have to assume that the OS makes up for it. The aforementioned specs for the Dream, let’s face it, were not super, as far as the current batch of HTC devices go.

More info has come to light, suggesting that the original quoted specs were undercooked, and the dream is empowered with 256Rom/128Ram, which would make a lot more sense.  We’ve also got a new moniker, the G1

The G1’s specs and features are still unknown but it is rumoured to sport a 528Mhz Qualcomm 7201 processor; Data kit for USB connectivity in the box; 128MB Internal RAM; 256MB Internal ROM, 1GB MicroSD card; Dedicated camera button; 3.1MP camera (no flash) 2048 x 1536; Video playback files - H.264, streaming, 3GPP, MPEG4, and Codec 3GP and a Dedicated YouTube Player.  Yes, I agree the memory is really low, but this is still a rumour so take it with a grain of salt.

All right I’m looking at this and I’m thinking, well I’m revising my thoughts, the images are bad, and actually are probably misleading. I’m taken aback by the unfamiliar design, and I’m hoping this works, it’s like a weird tilt. The T-Mobile branding and the cornucopia of comparative shots, seem to defy the possibility of a mock-up, but the dream might still be something that keeps you awake at night.

Touching… The Touch Pro!

Now the HTC Diamond, is emerging in the states, sometime soon, it’s been available in Oz for a while through Telstra. So having had the opportunity to get some hands on time in Telstra’s new stores, that offer real, working devices to try out, I’m faithfully waiting for the Touch Pro to appear down under.

Comparatively, it has quite a small form factor, similair to the tilt, with the design nuances of the Diamond. The attraction I have for the Touch Pro is the hardware keyboard, and the specs of course.

Ryan Block over at Engadget has done a great gallery of photo’s that really show the sleek and stylish Touch Pro at it’s best , and the thing that stand’s out to me is it’s visual symmetry. It seems to be well proportioned, and to have the quality build of recent HTC devices.

More of Ryan’s images after the break…
