Loading ...Drawings have leaked over at AndroidGuys.com that reveal some new information about the T-Mobile G1, also known as the Android-based HTC Dream. And while a bunch of new information was revealed, the most notable part would have to be the measurements.
The sizing has been made clear now, and we can expect a G1 that measures in at 16.35mm thick. Toward the bottom of the handset near the buttons and jogball, is a “chin” that seems to have no purpose. Well, I’m sure it has a purpose, but just what that is at the moment is unclear.
A track for the slide mechanism and a full QWERTY keyboard are also shown. The markings that will be on the phone are also clear. You can see “Google” on the back along with HTC logo and a T-Mobile myFaves icon.

The drawings were originally from AndroidGuys.com and not Android Community. Not to take anything away from their site, but they did not leak the document. They merely added to it. You can see our watermark in the image.

Why Why Why do HTC insist on putting a qwerty keypad on phones the reason on having a 3.5″ screen negates the need for a keyboard & with the keyboard the phone is getting the size of nokia bricks.
