Until we have an official announcement next week, here's some new information about the Android OS.

1 - The phone will be called HTC Dream.
2 - A. Dedicated YouTube button
.....B. Bar code reader
3 - Release dates is anywhere from Sep. 23 to Oct 1. YaY! It's going to be released sooner than expected! Pre-orders will happen for 5 days so it might start Sep. 26 but not before Sep. 23.
4 - You can not do a pre-order online.
5 - As of now, there are no increase on the price for data plan but it may change in the future.
6 - ** rumor ** The 2nd phone that will be released with Android OS is Sony Ericsson

8 - There is a Google brand device in the works that will be Internet only.

Great info secrecyguy! Thanks for sharing.

Minor correction. TmoJoe mentions that it'll be called T-Mobile Dream. I guess T-Mobile might not sell it under the HTC brand name.

I guess this article puts an end to the debate about whether second phone will be Sony Ericsson or not!
