Two weeks ago we saw a Youtube video of HTC’s “Dream” – the first phone to run on Google’s Android platform. As the presumed release date draws near (sometime in the next month or two), we’re bound to be seeing more leaked images before an official press release. Anyway, here are some pretty high quality (in comparison to the Youtube video) spy photos of it. At least for a little while anyway, this thing will only be a dream in my Google-loving head.

After much speculation and leaked images of Palm’s Treo Pro, it’s finally been announced. The Treo Pro not only sports a unique (‘n sleek) design, but it also has a large array of desirable features:

• 400MHz Qualcomm processor
• 320 x 320 Touchscreen TFT display
• 256 MB of built in memory
• Micro SD card expansion slot (for up to 32GB of storage)
• Built in GPS
• Wi-Fi

The Pro also runs on Microsoft’s Windows Mobile 6.1 Professional Edition and has a 2 megapixel camera. The best part is the phone comes unlocked, so you can pop in your current SIM card and avoid setup hassles! Costs $549 without a contract, but should be much less with one. Looks like it will be a prime competitor to BlackBerry. More pictures on the offical Palm website.

Here’s a video of the Pro in action:

T Mobile will be the first carrier of Googles much hyped Android mobile platform on September 17. The phone to debut Android will be HTCs “Dream” (name has not been officially announced). The “Dream features a full touch screen, just like the iPhone, but that’s not all. The screen slides away just like T Mobile’s famous “Sidekick” to reveal a full, 5-row QWERTY keyboard.

The phone will also have

• a 3 x 5 inch screen
• 3G connectivity
• and a 3 megapixel camera

T Mobile also seems to be going with a strange pricing strategy – $150 in the first week, then increasing to $250 and $400 each week after that.

Here’s a YouTube video thought to be of the HTC “Dream”:

Step aside iPhone, there’s a new player in town.
