The possible gPhone prototype we pointed out yesterday named the "Dream" might just be this HTC Omni communicator. The first reason is that HTC's actually seen and commented on the internal Google prototype, even going so far as to consider developing a real version of the reference design. Unwired View matches up the description of the device to the leaked specs of the HTC Omni, which mesh quite well in both size, shape and functionality. So is this the real "Google Phone" design? If so, it looks less like a phone and more like a fancy—and pants tearingly-large—communicator. We wouldn't have our Google Phone any other way. [Unwired View]
Is the HTC Omni the Google Android 'Dream' Phone?

I'd agree, except for that little Windows and IE buttons to the left of the space button.
@1stage: I second this. Why not a Google symbol or just Ctrl, Alt, Cmd or whatever? If it is OpenTech, then make it "OpenButtons".
That screen should stretch more towards the edge, what a piece of shit!
@daftrok: lol...it's a rendering you lummox :p
"...-and pants tearingly-large-..."
No. My pants are torn because I'm swolt with love... for this rendering.
@NicleT: thought the same thing when I looked at this. Would make a good device for Android and we can be damn sure that those buttons will be changed if it turns out to be the "dream".
I can't really tell much from the rendering. Looks to "subject to change." I do hope it's a laptop style hinge like that, and a huge screen covering the entire front of the device. Oh yea!
WOW, no iPhone killer reference?.
Maybe it's NFH today (National Fanboy Holiday).
Maybe it's just better....
If it looked like that at a price more reasonable than $600 I would buy one.
new NDS???
Bigger screen and im sold :D
Electric Sheep fits in here somewhere...
thats not the gphone, that HTC is suppose to be coming out since the summer. just another HTC phone. i have the i-mate jasar those phones are not all that. they're difficult to use as a phone, not comfortable in your hand at all. you'll need two hands to operate it.
thats a cool design and doesn't look any bigger then a iphone
It's good to see that everyone has completely given up on the futile attempt to create an iPod killer, and they've moved on to futile attempts to create an iPhone killer.
hm...looks cool
but
i highly doubt that this would be the google phone
i think the google phone is gnna be green
i dont want it to be
but it will be
Where's all the Meizu haters? This thing looks like a redesigned Nintendo DS. Go ahead, start bashing Google and HTC for using an exiting design for their phone.
"...you'll need two hands to operate it."
Awesome! I just happen to have two hands.
But will you have two hands when you load your porn on it? :/
But once you load your "video's" on it you'll only have one hand left....kind of...basically...
Héh...video's
Aaaand this is my third post now.
Sorry for the trio.
My first post didnt appear even after 20 minutes so i thought what the hell,lemme rephrase.
So now i look like an arse.
Great.
Kinda silly. If you're going to waste that much space around the screen, you might as well put a couple of buttons on it to make for easier operation when it's closed (a la iPhone Home key).
