EWeek reports that the HTC Dream, the first Android phone, is expected to be launched in New York on Sept. 23 on the T-Mobile network. The article also covers the importance for Google to get it right on the first try, which is why they are deploying at first only on a single network provider, a good idea to have a controlled environment.
I’ve been debating what my next mobile phone will be: an Apple iPhone, a BlackBerry Bold (which also will be available on the last week of September on the AT&T network), or a Google Android phone (T-Mobile at first). The Nokia Tube looks very cool but it won’t be available until next year. It is a pretty big decision as it requires getting into a contract, which I hate, and buying new handsets.
The BlackBerry Bold I like, but so far it seems that I’ve decided to go with the Android Dream cellphone… mainly because I like touch + keyboards, and it is/should be an open mobile (development) platform that offers lots of (new experimentation) possibilities.
