I am not one for fancy colors. I don't need a lot of choice when it comes to cell phone hues. But since HTC is making products for everyone else, it appears that the Android phone will come in black, white and brown. A chocolate-colored smartphone?The Android Guys have dug up a document that they say details the SKU for the upcoming G1. They write:

The internal point of sale system from T-Mobile has apparently been updated to include the SKU/UPC for each version. Typically, these are implemented into the system a few days to weeks before the sale date. The price is not usually put on until the day of release however, so we cannot confirm costs yet. You can also check the UPC code against the national database to find it exists. Not really much in the way of exciting news, but it helps confirm the eventual release is just that much closer.

Yeah, I agree, not really exciting news. What's more exciting is the report floating around today that suggests the Dream will be launched in the very near future. According to Reuters, it was informed by two sources familiar with T-Mobile's plans. Reuters reports, "T-Mobile and Google will be making an announcement this month in New York City." They suggest that Sept 23 was a likely date for the announcement. That's just two weeks away.
