T-Mobile will be selling the HTC Dream, a smartphone that will run the Google Android open source mobile platform and is poised to take on the Apple iPhone and Research in Motion's BlackBerry, in late October, according to an article by the Wall Street Journal.

Previous reports indicated the HTC Dream could be available for pre-order as early as Sept. 17, but the Wall Street Journal says that T-Mobile will announce the HTC Dream on Sept. 23. Stefan Frank of the blog Android Authority posted a screenshot of his invitation to a press conference on Sept. 23 at 10:30 a.m. in New York City.

The HTC Dream was approved by the FCC back in August.

Details have not been confirmed, but sources such as the Wall Street Journal and the unofficial T-Mobile blog Tmonews indicate that it's likely the HTC Dream will run on the 3G network, and have a 5-inch by 3-inch touchscreen, a trackball and a sliding or swivel QWERTY keyboard.

The HTC Dream will be the first smartphone on the market equipped with Google Android software; interestingly, a variety of third party apps have already been created on the Google Android platform.

Unlike Apple, Google is throwing a lot of support behind developers who want to create apps for Google Android phones -- Google is sponsoring the Android Developer challenge with a total of $10 million in prizes for the best Google Android apps. Winning apps from the first round of the contest include cab4me, which will allow users to order a cab with a single click on their phones, and Ecorio, which automatically tracks a user's mobile carbon footprint.
