"Although there is a lot less hype than what surrounded the iPhone 3G, Googles first mobile device sure has many people stoked about what can be expected and what is rumored. We saw a video a while back of what the UI might look like, a potential release date, and now this. AndroidGuys have unearthed a few credible-looking specs for the HTC Dream G1 that arent too shabby. Apparently, T-Mobile is still in the picture and will be handing them out for $199 to whoever has a GMail account and opts for a two-year contract, but the release date has been pushed another month to October 13th. As for specs, heres a list of what could be seen when it becomes available in black, white, or brown:
Quad-band 850/1800 and 950/1900 network capability with 3G, HSDPA, UMTS, and SPL support.
528MHz Qualcomm 7201 processor with 64MB RAM and 128MB ROM
Touchscreen display
Arc-sliding QWERTY keyboard
WiFi 802.11b/g
Google Maps (GPS?), StreetView, and YouTube support
3.1-megapixel camera with no video recording
MicroSD support with 1GB memory card preloaded
Support for applications via Android marketplace
At $199, these specifications sound too good to be true, but we better hold on to our horses until all or some of these are confirmed by Google, HTC, or T-Mobile." via mobilewhack.com
"The G810 is a silver slider phone made of a combination of aluminium and plastic, and when closed the 2.6 (compared to the 2.4 on the G800) TFT display takes up the majority of the phone, with a glossy D-pad running along the bottom. The D-pad, unlike regular smart phones (including the G800), consists of no Call or Hang up buttons; instead it has an unlabelled menu button (left) and a media player quick launch key (right - for easy access to radio, Music player and RealPlayer. This could take a big of adjusting for regular smartphone users, especially with the absence of an edit (pencil) key." Read more here:

"As weve already mentioned, Pros face is a copy of Diamonds and similarly to it, it is a fingerprint magnet. Youll have to be constantly cleaning it so it looks good and to be able to see the display when you are outside. If its kept clean, the screen remains usable even in the brightest sunlight. However, it will be a lot easier to read black symbols on a white background, compared to the opposite combination (TouchFLO 3D interface). Typically for a Windows Mobile phone, only 65k colors are supported and you can easily see that when reproducing pictures or video, its not always done smoothly.The buttons below are flat, but are easy to press with a good tactile feedback. Only the D-pads directions are troublesome and hard to operate due to their smaller size. Interestingly, its backlight takes the role of a system LED. When you have a missed call or message for example, the light indicates it with a circular movement. This looks good and suits the overall design of the phone, but is hard to notice during the day in contrast to the classical orange LED." Read more here:
