I'm pretty certain the HTC Dream is a "real" reference design and may end up being the first Android phone mid-next year. There's another rumor that the HTC Omni Communicator might in fact be the Dream phone by HTC --- is this possible?

Sporting a full QWERTY keyboard and what appears to be a touch-sensitive front panel, the HTC Omni Communicator seems to fit the Google gPhone specifications.
