    Apparently if you look at the whois information for the domain name T-MobileG1.com it is the exact same info as that of Sidekick.com which is run and operated by T-Mobile for their sidekick phones:
    http://whois.sc/t-mobileg1.com

    So a lot of people are saying that the name "Dream" is just HTC's name for the device and the model number DREA100 is also from HTC. T-Mobile will rebrand the device as the G1.

    Hmmm looks like we might have to rename this forum! Will it end up being the HTC Dream or the T-Mobile G1?

    Also, let us know which name you LIKE MORE in the replies!
     
    Other operators have give HTC gear different names before - AT&T call the HTC TyTn the AT&T 8525, and the TyTn II the "Flip"... T-Mobile doesn't have the long history with HTC that Cingular/AT&T do, so they could still (logically) change their naming scheme for the Dream/G1 and give it a specific name that only has their name on it.
