Five years ago today, I was introduced to a phone that would change both my mobile world as well as the mobile landscape in Australia itself – the HTC Dream. Launching officially on Monday February 16th 2009, the HTC Dream (or the G1 as it was known in the US) was instantly a standout to me in what was a vastly different mobile landscape to what it is today.
Ah man, this post takes me back. I remember having some great arguments with HTC Dream users while wielding an imported jailbroken iPhone.
We didn’t always see eye-to-eye, but one thing we all agreed on; these kinds of devices were the future.
