“…the HTC Dream combines some of the best features of the iPhone and a BlackBerry, but isn't quite ready to replace either. Still, a great phone for techy tweakers who love to play with the latest gear and programs.”

“Overall, I think the phone is great. It as[sic] a lot of potential with the open source OS and I can see Android growing a lot larger. It is laggy at some points and it does tend to freeze a lot more then [sic] the iPhone but not nearly as bad as a Windows Mobile. “

“…it does not come with all of the awesome features that T-Mobile G1 users are enjoying / will be enjoying with Cupcake. You see, the Dream has been loaded with custom firmware that more or less kills off a bunch of the cool new features of the update, the most notable being the lack of the soft keyboard.”
