The “Break it Down” Blog

After the first crap-blurry video of the HTC Dream, Google’s first commercial Android-based phone getting close to release, we have been waiting with baited breath to see what the device will actually look and feel like. It looks like T-Mobile will be the first to roll out the phone this Fall along side the BlackBerry Bold and we are waiting on final sign-off from the FTC on the device before T-Mobile offers it up to customers.

No news yet on how the device will be effected by the sweeping changes that have been going into the Android platform with every release all the way up until the most recent 0.9 release news related to the Bluetooth stack and GTalk support being removed.

If this phone’s platform was frozen and sent for certification months ago, it’s possible it still ships an older SDK with some of those libraries intact and bugs that haven’t been fixed… no word on how HTC is handling rolling (if at all) these updates into the phone as FTC and T-Mobile are sending it through their labs vetting it on their network.
