    Great review… I have heard some bad things about the iPhone, and in general never get good service through AT&T in my area, so this helps in knowing what other options are out there.

    I currently have the Wing and experience storage memory issues on a regular basis. It does not appear as though the Dream would be any better (comparing specs). Any insight to this issue?

    @QUESTIONS?!?!?!?: Nah, Dream is def. better build then wing, to be honest wing is one of the bad phones i ever saw as “touch screen” slow processor too

    For the price this phone will do very well with t-mobile. Its hard to believe ppl will spend $800-$1000 for a Nokia N96 when phones like this exist at more than Half the price, with the new open source android software. Nokia has NO SUCH THING as open source software.

    I’m really hoping for a good quality full video review soon.

    Hey guys I think it’s a pretty good phone and it might give some competition to the LG Vu or something but it’s not the iPhone killer, it does not compare, Iphone’s UI is way better than any other phone out there, followed by nokia. and why do people pay $800 for a nokia n96? because it’s WORTH IT. I recently switched to AT&T and coverage in my area is awesome, always full bars(I live in PR), I also own a Nokia N95, a 1st gen iPhone 8GB and an LG Vu, but the one I love the most is my iPhone 3G, and with the new app store, I really think nobody will ever beat this phone’s quality and capability.

    SOMEBODY has more money than God!

    Android will rule since people will only pay 150 bucks once of and be able to make commercial applications and games and homebrew. I can’t wait for the tegra android later this year, the htc dream will have to do. Iphone is considering using tegra, once this is the case all the phones will be basically the same. I want the htc dream because it has keyboard aswell as touchscreen. I want to be able to map the keys to games so I don’t have to torture myself too much with the touch screen. Imagine mame32 on android. I love linux even if I’ve never used it before, power to the people.
