In general I don’t like to write about unofficial news regarding upcoming cell phones because I prefer to have some press releases to count on, as they come with high resolution images as well, but this is an interesting information I don’t want you to miss though.

According to different sources providing information to US websites, European blogs and technology India reviews sites, it seems that HTC established a release period for its new smartphones running on the Android platform, and you might be able to get your hands on one starting September, some give a more precise date, on September 17.

After several successes one after another, including the release of HTC Touch, HTC Touch Diamond and the Dual Touch smartphones, the top mobile handsets manufacturer is expecting significant sales growth until the end of this year, culminating with the Android-based models.
The retail price would be of $399 while the 2-year contract with a telecommunication company would reduce the price up to $150, and this should happen via T-Mobile.

Codenamed HTC Dream, a nice and attractive name, the smartphone will provide 3G connectivity, a large touch-sensitive display for web browsing, sliding QWERTY keyboard, a built-in 3MP digital camera for high-resolution pictures captured on the go and video recording capability, as well as Google software including Gmail access.
In addition there will be wireless connectivity via Bluetooth and Wi-Fi module built in, VoIP support, and many other cool functionalities.

With Google Android open platform, the HTC handset would provide an operating system and several useful mobile applications created in Java programming language, including Internet browser, custom 2D graphics library, 3D graphics based on the OpenGL ES 1.0 specification, SQLite for structured data storage, multimedia files support, GSM, Bluetooth, EDGE, 3G, WiFi, camera, GPS, compass, accelerometer sensor, email client, SMS program, calendar, maps, custom alerts, and personal data sharing.

One thing seems to get clear – if we won’t have it in stores in September, it’ll surely appear by the end of this year.
