Late last month Optus announced it would be the first telecommunications company in Australia to carry the HTC Dream with Android Operating System. Since its launch Tech Wired has had the chance to trial the mobile and produce a short video review.
The mobile was compared heavily to the iPhone as a benchmark for what mobile technology should be capable of doing in the year 2009.
Some highlighted features it includes that the iPhone doesn’t:
- Digital compass
- Full QWERTY keyboard and Trackball
- 3.2 megapixel colour camera with auto focus
- A really cool way of unlocking
- microSD capability
- Removable battery
The mobile is available exclusive to Optus starting from $59 + handset costs @ http://optus.com.au/dream.
