Although its still just in the rumor stage, it does seem accurate enough and follows up nicely with T-Mobile’s recent confirmation and the FCC approval. It looks like the T-Mobile Android-powered HTC Dream will be available for customers beginning on October 13, with pre-orders running from September 17 through October 3 for current T-Mobile customers, and the handset will be available in black, brown or white.

In addition to the release date, some pricing information has also come to light, and it seems to be set pretty fairly. It is rumored that the HTC Dream will be $199 with a two-year agreement. In addition to the $199 price, which will apply for new customers, it was also mentioned that the price for any current T-Mobile customers looking to upgrade will be slightly less expensive at $150.

As for the monthly plans, so far it looks like it will be $35 a month for unlimited data and messaging or $25 for unlimited data and 400 messages.

Of course, its still early and this should be considered nothing more than a rumor until we hear an official announcement from T-Mobile, but so far it seems to believable. We can only hope its true, because $199 sounds pretty fair, not to mention with a price that low, T-Mobile may be able to attract some new customers pretty easily.
