Comments on: Rumor mill: HTC Dream details leaked?

TmoNews leaks a few details about the HTC Dream, which seem realistic, but it could be just a rumor

First of all, no GPS?!?!??!

Second of all, there is a petition to have pre-orders shipped BEFORE they become available in retail stores: http://mobileroar.com/forum/htc-dream/788-reward-pre-orderers-htc-dream.html

I have Verizon and would have even switched to T-Mobile had the DREAM had SICK specs... but the omission of GPS is unforgiveable in my opinion.

Nice Android Forum here BTW: http://androidforums.com

you are joking right?
what part of google maps, and the picture of the street with arrows pointing in either way do you not understand?

Well I agree with NO GPS??? But I think that the price is FAIR if now the new 3G iPhone is under $400...
I would like to know under what platform is going to release WM or UNIX based?

[ithomas94]

its a pity alright; verizon or even At&t would have been a much better choice.

Looks good. i don't need any GPS to tell me what to do or where to go.. I have it all in my brains. Just need google maps. The android phones looks good.

Given my experience with a handful of HTC phones including the Tilt which were replaced because of problems I can only react with a yawn! The biggest feature then can upgrade is dependability.

Based purely on the screenshots Ive seen so far for Android, im not too impressed...

The UI looks incredibly vanilla to me. I know google is all over the KISS designs, but they need to go a little further and add some style to this OS... We'll all see soon enough I guess, but I just hope its not as plain jane as the screenshots show it to be.

Finally Tmobile will be getting some decent phones. I don't know if I should wait to replace this antiquated Tmobile Dash from 2007 or spend $800 on a Nokia N96. And who cares about GPS -- ever hear of Mapquest or Yahoo or Google maps. They give directions too, unless you are so dumb you need something to tell which way to turn. I certainly won't pay extra for GPS it is comes great but GPS is a big yawn.
A fast intenet browser & 3G are very important. Tmobiles service is spotty some days good, some days horrible.
