Okay, so there's a new smartphone being released. It's made by HTC, called HTC Dream, and has been rebranded by T-Mobile and is sold with google android on it.
If you look at the specs on the official page, they are very informative for audiophile would-be buyers:

Okay, maybe not so informative. It could of course support more formats, but I'm sure that could be added, android being open after all. They're also opting to not mention the proprietary headphone out (wonder how bulky an adapter would be, and what that would do to SQ).
Anyone know what kind of ciruit it's like to use and what SQ it's able to put out? And is HTC known for usually providing either good or poor SQ? And is it usual for them to shaft would-be customers with proprietary HP out, or can we hope for something else in the future?
Edit: Looking around a bit, I found a mention that HTC has lately opted more for the EXTusb cr.. and skipped the regular 3.5 one. Still could be possible to overcome, if SQ is good enough and one can make an adapter..
