Thanks in part to the willingness of Google to share the love that is known as the Android mobile OS, we’ll probably see more devices loaded with this highly-anticipated operating system in the coming months. Case and point; the Sciphone Dream G2 is trying to follow in the footsteps of the successful HTC G1.

It’s runs on Android Home edition V1.0 and comes with a 2.8-inch QVGA touchscreen, 4-megapixel camera, WiFi, FM tuner, 50MB internal memory, micoSD card support, 1500mHa battery, and an ultra-compact size (56×107.2×11.8mm). If you think the specs are a toned down as compared to the G1, that’s because it is. No 3G, GPS, physical QWERTY keypad, and the numeric keypad doesn’t even come with text support which basically means you’ll have very limited usage for the Schiphone Dream G2.

It’s expected to ship in the next couple of week with a $174 price tag attached to it. It may look the part of a worthy successor to the G1, but it obviously lacks the power and features to emulate the pioneering model from HTC. We’ll pass on this one because we know something better’s going to come out in the near future.
