Pocket-lint readers don't seem as excited as you might think about the prospect of a wave of new Android phones due out later this year.

In a recent poll on the site, 51% of people said they weren't "excited" about the forthcoming Google Android phones due out later this year.

Still, fans of the new OS that was debuted at Mobile World Congress, will be please to learn that it still leaves 49% or 174 of the 360 people we questioned looking forward to a new phone in the summer powered by the Open Handset Alliance operating system.

The poll results come at the same time of rumours resurfacing about HTC's forthcoming Android device. It is said to be called the "Dream".

However surely "everyone knows that Androids can't dream, especially of electric sheep".
