The New York Times now believes the HTC Dream will first be available on T-Mobile. That is to say, the first Android phone will be available on T-Mobile this year, perhaps as early as October.

The phone will have a touchscreen as well as a slid-out keyboard.

That phone seen in this video? Apparently it is the HTC Dream after all.

All of that jibes with earlier reports.

Good thing I didn’t bother with that crack-prone iPhone 3G. I have a feeling you’d get massive geek cred running around with an Android phone.
