HTC's Android-driven Dream revealed in glorious spy photos

Engadget.com have got hold of some actual photos of the forthcoming Android powered HTC Dream.

They have a slew of pictures showing off a very real T-Mobile-branded Dream in all its Android-running glory. Not only does this confirm the design spied in those FCC docs as well as show off that nearly-done version of Android, but it seems to confirm the fact that this will be headed to T-Mobile, and sooner rather than later judging from the looks of the above device. Needless to say, our inner-geeks are completely geeking out right now. Hit their gallery for a handful of other views of the phone.

Personally I think its not going to win any style awards!

Eurghh.... that's nasty. Be interesting to see how the OS shapes up though.

That is nasty isn't it, yuk! There is rumoured to be another closely related device to the Dream called the Blackstone but is it fake?

Mobile Catcher: Is this HTC Blackstone ?

Yeah but the Blackstone is looking to be the WM variant?

I think that is just plain odd looking.

Wouldn't mind having a play with one but i don't think it's my cup of tea.

It looks for me like it was styled for a child to play with. Mind you if they are aiming towards what they think is the lowest common denominator of user I feel somewhat insulted!

I suspect it'll be a lot better in the flesh! The photes show a lot of foreshortening and distortion; one of them next to the TyTnII is better, and shows it as marginally taller than the TyTnII.

Looks like a QVGA interface, but the UI looks a bit iffy

I'm still not convinced
