The Android phone, which was previously called the HTC Dream, will now be known as T-Mobile G1. It will have a “banana” like shape and a slide-out touchscreen that will expose the QWERTY keyboard below. The traditional D-pad is replaced by a trackball that will allow owners to use certain features one-handed.
