help HTC Dream FAQ
Was the HTC Dream the same phone as the T-Mobile G1?
Yes. HTC sold the device as the HTC Dream in some markets and T-Mobile marketed it as the T-Mobile G1, making it the first commercially available Android phone in 2008.
Did the HTC Dream have a physical keyboard?
Yes. Its 3.2-inch touchscreen slid to reveal a physical QWERTY keyboard, and the front also included a trackball for navigation.
What Android version did the HTC Dream launch with?
The original HTC Dream launched with Android 1.0, then received the Android 1.5 Cupcake update. That distinction matters because Cupcake was an update, not the phone's first shipping version.
Can the HTC Dream run modern Android apps?
Not reliably. The 2008 hardware and its old Android software predate current app requirements, so it is better treated as a historic GSM Android device than as a current smartphone.
