The anticipated Android-phone may not be official available yet, but that doesn’t mean we can view pictures of its prior to it release. While there has a video floating around featuring this mobile phone, the HTC Dream is shown here as clear as day and is already brandishing the T-Mobile brand on it. Everything looks to be legit as it more or less looks like the same device featured in the video. Nevertheless, let’s not jump the gun on this one. It could still be just a prototype or just some really well-thought out prank, but something tells me otherwise.
If this is indeed the one, it’s kind of disappointing especially with the way it was hyped. Anyway, the only thing we can judge for now is the phone itself and its aesthetics, and from what we can see, it looks pretty decent. Not spectacular, but good enough for the average user. As for the Android OS itself, it’s hard to form an opinion an a piece of software just by looking at some pictures. We’ll reserve judgment on that once its official out already.

Does anyone else think that the phone looks a bit ugly and cheap looking? It is designed by HTC after all and simply comparing it to their other phones, I think they could have done a better job. Who knows, it might look better in person but it looks more like a toy for a kid than a phone you would want to show your friends, in my opinion.
