T-Mobile Is Using Google to Sell Its "Dream"

There's been some semantic sniping about whether HTC's forthcoming "Dream" -- powered by Google's (GOOG) Android OS and offered by T-Mobile -- really qualifies as the GPhone, considering the Web giant isn't actually building the phone.

Well, if new mock-ups of the device are to be trusted, T-Mobile intends to brand the phone with a "Google" label on the back of it.

The latest images of the phone piqued in the interest of tech watchers Tuesday with a 360 glimpse of the new phone, which features a slide-out screen that reveals a five-row QWERTY key pad.
