Reuters suggests that T-Mobile will be selling a handset running Google’s Android later this year. Two sources familiar with the operator say that both companies will be making an announcement on September 23rd in New York. Neither company is willing to comment on the rumours, but the prospect of selling the operating system will be exciting for the mobile provider.
In February, T-Mobile Chief Executive Hamid Akhavan said at Mobile World Congress in Barcelona that the company is planning to launch a device operating on the Android software platform in the fourth quarter, which Akhavan promised would not disappoint.
“Early results we have seen have given us all the confidence that it will be groundbreaking,” he said at the time. The new phone he is talking about is the HTC Dream, made by High Tech Computer Corp, which will operate on T-Mobile’s third generation network and feature a slide-out keypad.
