The beautiful sleek smartphone HTC OMNI introduced last July, apparently will be used as the Google’s Android demo phone. Inside Google, the phone is named “Dream”which is described as
It is thin, about 3 inches wide and 5 inches long, and features a touch-sensitive, rectangular screen… The bottom end of the handset, near the navigational controls, is slightly beveled so it nestles in the palm. The screen also swivels to one side, revealing a full keyboard beneath. (The screen display changes from a vertical portrait mode to a horizontal display when someone uses the keyboard.)
From the description as the “Dream”, Unwired View belive that the “Dream” is actually the HTC OMNI.
