The description for this forum is wrong!
It's either HTC Dream OR T-Mobile G1 and NOT some hybrid HTC G1
Even the wiki says that the names for the device are HTC A71XX / HTC Dream / Android Dev Phone / T-Mobile G1 -- again, no HTC G1.
Just thought I'll point that out...
cool never noticed that
Mine's called "Gary".
I thought "Google G1" was OK too, but the trademark ownership on HTC site says:
Google, Android, Android Market, Gmail, Google Talk, Google Calendar, Google Maps, Google Search and YouTube are trademarks of Google Inc. T-Mobile and the magenta color are federally registered trademarks of Deutsche Telekom AG. G1 and T-Mobile G1 are trademarks of T-Mobile USA, Inc.

Google G1 does not make much sense as G standts for Google as far as I know, so it would mean Google Google 1
I feel like such an idiot now going around posting everywhere with "HTC G1" in my signature.
Changed.
Are you serious? Well, sorry for that, I've just pointed that out for fun.
Still wondering if forum admins will react...
I also noticed that when you go into settings > about phone it says 'T-Mobile G1" too.
I noticed this a while back, just couldn't be bothered to make a thread about it. I agree with Karolis that HTC G1 makes absolutely no sense at all.

I hope you're talking about your phone =P
I've noticed it since the Dream forum was created, but at that point no one was really sure about the name and later it didn't bug be.
It doesn't bug me now either, I was just in the mood for a new thread
To be fair the phone is actually referred to as the HTC G1.
Infact, when in a T-Mobile store complaining about their lack of MiniUSB to 3.5mm headphone adapters (they don't sell any AT ALL despite the G1/G2 Touch being their flagship phones) I was told to search for a HTC Adapter because the official name is the "HTC G1" (to be honest, you'd have to be stupid to not know the phone is made by htc so I don't even know why he mentioned that)
But referred to != it is
I mean HTC is the company that makes them and G1 is a registered trademark of T-Mobile, just like someone has already mentioned.
such a pointless thread.

The promo video shows off the HTC Hero and the Rosie interface. Looks awesome.
Cool!
Nice promo video, hope the Hero is a promising phone with better specs. Looking forward to it, thank you for finding the video.

I think the Hero is the G3. This may be the G1 redone. This one doesn't have the keyboard so it can't be the second G1; that means the title is wrong too
There is no G3. There is not G2. G1 is just tmobile nonsense and means nothing. Dream is dream, magic is magic, and hero is hero.

I think it might actually. I thought the 'G' referred to the Google branding, or a device which qualifies for the Google logo on it. Therefore the 'G1' was the first phone to have the Google logo on it. 'G2' was the Magic, which also has the Google logo on it. I think that is the logic behind it.

You are wrong. "G1" is just a carrier-assigned (tmobile) trick to make dumb people think that the carrier is somehow the manufacturer.
There is no doubt that the device is actually "htc dream" and NOTHING MORE: http://www.htc.com/www/product/dream/overview.html
very nice!!!!!

Yea that makes sense. Maybe makes their corporate image look better too (to dumb people ofc ).
I'm assuming that thing comes out in the fall to coincide with Leno's new show. That can be the only explanation for a chin that big.
saw the anti iphone commercial, everything icant droiddoes.com
umm yeah there was no need to start another thread about it since there already is one out but yes it looks nice
btw aren't they gonna release a gsm version not to soon after

Probably. But the version that passed the FCC has no US 3G (AT&T or T-Mo) so odds are it will be European, though I don't know why it'd go thru the FCC if it's European. We all know Moto isn't stupid enough to release a version here without 3G
It has to pass through FCC so that it can operate in the US, for people traveling abroad and such, thus making it a "world phone".
I frankly like the way they're going with the commercial..
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dPYM-XTqcec
It was pretty head on advertising. Now the 'droid name is out there and more people will be asking about it. Should have been the direction T-Mo should have taken in advertising for the G1. I don't anyone is running out trying to get that new phone Whoopi Goldberg has.
I like the phone in theory... but since it's not an HTC, I don't think I could let myself get it. Is there a Motorola version of XDA?
here it is, perfect design and with keybaord

Funny... the only reason I ever considered HTC was that it shipped with 'droid.
I thought you would have a forum for this, being very cheap in the UK and the first android phone on PAYG. Only £179 on T-Mobile, Someone should be doing some work on this, Its a very cheap android phone!
Thanks.
And the kernel has been released on the T-Mobile website....
well the xda forums are for HTC manufactured handsets only.
However on the Modaco forums they are dev'ing for the pulse, kernel source only came out yesterday.
Paul (top dog at Modaco) has posted a cooked rom with all the basics in, ie apps2sd. Cant thank him enough for the work he is doing.
Hoping that we will see more deveolpment on the device once hit hits the shores of the US.
You can find all the details here!
http://android.modaco.com/category/413/t-mobile-pulse-pulse-modaco-com/
i think pulse is made by HTC, HUAWEI only provide the GUI for this phone, this device's hardware is same as magic, just change a case and look & feel.
so if this site can give a subform for Pulse it will be great.

It isn't.
Huawei has its own factories.
So you think Sony Ericsson Xperia X1 made by HTC???

As I can see, Pulse (Huawei U8220 Android) for the price is way good. And has a good rated reviews everywhere. I'm thinking of getting one.
will this work on tmobile US as in 3g and phn if unlocked. I too would like to buy one of these. Where do you buy them from the US
I emailed HTC regarding the Picasa Web Albums plugin not working correctly on my DHD. I get the error message advising my Google account is not linked to Picasa Web Albums, which it is!
Anyway, they replied to me with the below email and thought i should share this.
Dear scotia_rfc,
Hello scotia_rfc and thank you for getting in touch with us about Picasa and HTC Sense.com
Just to let you know that the problem is not with your device or your Google account or even the Picasa applications, but with HTC Sense.com
The problem with HTC Sense.com is that it is not yet a fully functioning website and the facilities on it are relatively unstable and constantly being turned off as and when the IT gurus need to play with the coding.
HTC have decided that they would allow the public access to the website so that they could see it and get used to the new functions and facilities provided by the website.
I do apologise if this has caused you any inconvenience and I have already escalated this issue up to our Marketing and Development team for investigation.
I hope that this has answered your questions, if you have any more problems or questions in the future please do not hesitate in getting in touch with us again.
All the best,
Carl.

Thanks for the info. That's quite interesting, but good of them to admit that it is really a beta and not the final product.
Shame they didn't say that earlier, but still good of them to admit it. I do like HTCSense.com, it's a very good idea. Hope it settles down eventually.
I got. The. Same error with flickr i just installed leedroid 1.4.1 and then i don't have any ota error?

All very well being honest about the website issues but it shouldn't have been launched if it's not ready for primetime.

That's not a smart thing to say for HTC. The Desire HD and Desire Z / G2 were advertised heavily with the HTCSense.com website and all that had to offer, the main benefit to me being security and additional widgets from HTC at a later date, and now some CS guy says, "Sorry, yeah, it's beta so it's to be expected"? I don't buy that one bit.

If they are "allowing us to see what i looks like" then they shouldn't be advertising this as feature. I'm sure we could all demand a refund as we have been sold something that doesn't work.
What total crap, of course they haven't allowed us to see what it looks like. It just doesn't work!

I wouldn't go so far as to say they shouldn't have launched it, maybe a whopping great Beta sign on the front...
Just not a perpetual Beta like some of the old Google sites used to be, remember how Google docs was beta for what seemed like forever.
Omg you guys are like vultures, HTC has neva hid or denied the fact that sence.com and HTC Hub is in beta, WTF is all ur problems? Do people have a go at microsoft when they release an alpha, beta or rc version of windows. Just cuz everything dosent work? Talk about ungrateful

Last time I looked HTC weren't advertising HTCSense.com as a beta service - in fact the service is central to their marketing for this device. To claim otherwise is just retarded.
HTC have only fessed up under pressure from disappointed users. Seekdroid FTW btw.

Would you prefer it if HTC didnt do a public beta? They could do an inhouse beta, and when sence.com is ready next year, they could release it for the new devices, obviously the DHD wouldnt be one of thoes devices! Atleast by being the testers we are ensuring that we will get the full version of sence.com when it goes final....

But that's the point: HTCSense is being marketed as a live service - not a beta - and is clearly defective.

No but they at least have the curtesy to market it as beta. No where on htcs site does it say BETA. In fact its pretty much the pillar of there marketing for the DHD.
Oh and btw when paying nearly 500 for a handset and expecting the functions to work aint ungratefull chump go buy a car with no wheels then try not to complain.
I can't upload to picasa through the gallery =/
