Video of HTC with keyboard leaked

There is a mysterious YouTube video of an HTC device with a slidout keyboard running Android. The poster of the video, TheIncarcerator, claims "A tipster sent this video to me. He said that the person that sent the video works for a company that makes a part for the phone."

Is this why we haven't seen any on-screen keyboards in the emulator? Even with a slide out keyboard we'll still need an on-screen keyboard for when we don't want to slide the keyboard out or want to keep the device in landscape mode.

Video after the break.

Unless my eyes are wrong, that appears to be a 3.5 inch touch screen. that would be grand. I love the new touch pro, but I want a 3.5 not a 2.8 A little more size would be really nice for a VGA screen.

They are really getting close to my dream phone now. detailed below.

All Touch Pro features
-8 gigs or more of memory
-3.5 inch VGA screen
-full keypad on the front of the phone in addition to the slide out keyboard. This is something I think is unlikely, but I would love it.

Compare the devices and you will see that the "HTC Dream" is just a simple reference design. ;)

which one is a reference design? The one in the above video or the one in the BBC article?

Looks like the same phone to me
