Is the HTC Omni/Dream the Google Phone?

Google had five prototype Google “Dream” Phones built to show-off the Android platform to potential Open Handset Alliance members.

The Google “Dream” was apparently built by HTC and is described as “thin, about 3 inches wide and 5 inches long, and features a touch-sensitive, rectangular screen. Unlike the iPhone, the screen is also time-sensitive: Hold down your finger longer, and the area you’re controlling expands. The bottom end of the handset, near the navigational controls, is slightly beveled so it nestles in the palm. The screen also swivels to one side, revealing a full keyboard beneath.”

This description is very similar to the HTC Dream.
