T-Mobile gives some new details on the G2

T-Mobile spilled the beans on the G2 today, and it all lines up with what we've heard before. The G2 will feature a 3.7" touchscreen and a slide-out QWERTY keyboard, will ship with vanilla Android 2.2 which includes Flash support, and most importantly will be the carriers first HSPA+ phone. The processor is confirmed to be 800MHz, but it is Qualcomm's MSM7230, which puts some of the load on the GPU so it actually performs better graphically than some faster chips like a 1MHz Snapdragon.

No official word on pricing, but all signs point to $199 with a two-year contract and $499 with no contract. Current T-Mobile customers will be able to preorder the G2 later this month.

Rumor: T-Mobile G2 launching September 29

Leaked pics of a T-Mobile training page show T-Mobile is releasing the HTC Vangurad, AKA G2, on September 29. T-Mobile already has a teaser site for it's upcoming superphone, but details have been scant, with no official pictures or release date. Based on this, we'll probably be hearing an official statement about the release date fairly soon.

Pics of the upcoming T-Mobile G2

Engadget has received pictures of T-Mobile's upcoming G2, also known as the HTC Vision. From the front it reminds us of a Nexus One, which is appropriate since this phone will be running stock Android like the N1. It's got a 3.7" screen and a good-looking slide out QWERTY keyboard. Check out more pics after the break.

T-Mobile Teases G2

Today T-mobile updated their teaser site for their first HSPA + phone with the official name; the G2. The successor to the world's first Android phone, the G1, the G2 will mark another first for T-Mobile by being the first phone that will take advantage of it's HSPA + network, which has 4G data speeds.

The site doesn't list too much about the G2, but we can make some assumptions about it. First off, it's probably made by HTC, the company that made the G1. Secondly, it's sure to have at least a 1GHz processor (if not faster). Other details are up in the air right now, but T-Mobile says they'll share more details "in the coming weeks."
