HTC recently released its latest Android phone handset onto the Australian market – the HTC Dream™, which is the 1st Android-powered mobile phone launched in Australia.
The HTC Dream can currently only be purchased through Optus, and features entire touch-screen functionality linked with a user-friendly QWERTY keyboard. This combination is promised to be incredibly useful in terms of delivering an exciting mobile Web experience.
The HTC Dream, like the iPhone and similar phones, brings Google applications that have been used by many on their desktop, including Google Maps and GMail.
Google’s Street View also takes advantage of the Android treatment with a built-in compass! Street View lets you pan around the location-based image, though Australian data plans would want to be generous to account for these downloads
