The user dictionary is a great feature found on many smartphones, and proves to be very helpful when typing, but at times that dictionary can become pretty bad when you start adding some incorrect entries. Unfortunately for me, that seems to have become the case with a few words that I added accidentally.
Anyway, such is the case, but I recently saw this thread over on gdgt and was initially excited, but I have come to find that you cannot edit the dictionary on the HTC Hero or Eris — you can only delete and start from scratch. Not ideal, but better than having to worry about a few words in the long run. And at least this way I will be more careful moving forward.
So, in order to clear the user dictionary on the HTC Hero or Eris, you will need to navigate to Settings > Applications > Manage Applications. Then once there, you will need to scroll down and find “Touch Input”. Click on that, and then tap the “Clear Data” button.
Again, this may not be the most ideal way to remove a word or two, but in the meantime it seems to be the best option. But moving forward, lets hope that HTC will offer a nicer way to edit (or delete) on a word by word basis.
Whether the HTC Dream or the T-Mobile G1 was the first Android Phone is a debate that would run Socrates in circles: essentially they are the same exact phone.
When rumors surfaced of the first ever Android Phone, the internal codename given the device by HTC was the HTC Dream. The name stuck for quite awhile, until that is, T-Mobile officially announced the launch of the world's first Android Phone - the T-Mobile G1. They took the HTC phone and gave it their own brand.
However, the name HTC Dream wouldn't lay dormant for long. As loads of international carriers jumped at the opportunity to carry the phone, the couldn't use the proprietary T-Mobile G1 name for obvious reasons. So wherever the world's first Android Phone launched on any carrier besides T-Mobile, it carried the HTC Dream name.
While the Dream and G1 are the exact same phone from a specs standpoint, except for the necessary frequency/technology to operate locally, the T-Mobile logo is obviously swapped out for an HTC Logo... or the logo of whichver carrier you find it:
The HTC Dream has an incredibly functional Full Qwerty keyboard that slides out horizontally. Its usability is exceptional for heavy emailers and texters. It comes packed with a 3.2MP camera and can hold up to 32GB of memory externally.
For Android fans who love hardware keyboards, the HTC Dream sets a pretty high bar and the device only improves as the Android OS and Android Market get better and better each day.
