This specification does differ quite a bit from what were told from the Google I/O event..

RAM has been halfved, along with no GPS and Bluetooth does not yet work on an application-level. I guess it's good fun to speculate but better to wait for the official announcements.

No GPS or Bluetooth,

Yes with Bluetooth and I think also with GPS. Here you can also find Dream spec.

Well the Dream is ugly so I will wait for next phone and some bugs should be worked out. Wish I could put Android on my 8525 which is a nice looking phone.

I'm really surprised about the choice of phone too. Android was always going to be playing catch-up to the iPhone.. i imagined they would have put a little more emphasis on the choice of handset - especially for what will be the opening launch of the platform.

Actually, I'm not.

Think about it from a business perspective. You have a new phone with a new OS with hardly any market besides early adapting nerds.

How much money do you want to pour into your first phone? i think they wanna make some money first before they go all "Wraah lets spend millions into probable bottomless pit!"

I bet they go cheap untill they know where it will end up.
