HTC Dream not coming to Malaysia??

I’ve gotten some pretty interesting news from the grapevine recently regarding the HTC Dream. It seems that HTC might not be bringing the Dream into the Malaysian market at all and might instead opt to bring in the upcoming G2 instead. One reason I heard was that due to various issues the HTC Dream or rathe the T1 Mobile G1 had, it would be more feasible to bring in the better designed and built G2. As much as I’d appreciate a better working and less buggy device, this also means the possiblity of an Android phone hitting Malaysia very much later.

Considering that the other Android device by Kogan, the Angora, is most likely not coming here and other Android devices still in the works, I’m expecting Android to hit Malaysian shores only sometime in the 3rd quarter of this year. So for those waiting to have a go at Android you might have to wait a little bit longer.
