 T-Mobile teases us with the long-awaited G2.
Phone will be T-Mobile's first to feature HSPA+ -- a 3.5G or 4G tech, depending on who you ask
RIM
and Apple recently have been flattened under
a deluge of high-powered Android handset releases. Between
the Motorola
Droid, Motorola
Droid X, Motorola
Droid 2, HTC
Incredible, HTC
EVO 4G, and Samsung
Galaxy S/S Pro it's become hard to keep track of all these
high-powered competitors.
Not looking to slow down, T-Mobile
just aired a teaser page for the long awaited T-Mobile G2. You
may recall that T-Mobile's G1 was the first
Android smartphone to hit the U.S. market, landing back in
October 2008.
The new G2 was rumored to
be released in July 2009 – instead it never showed up. At the
time the phone was rumored to be the HTC Magic. Now it seems
possible that the phone might be the dual-core
HTC Glacier that a T-Mobile employee posted benchmarks of on
GLSBenchmark.
If it is indeed the Glacier, the slick white
paint job would certainly suit its model name.
The only thing
T-Mobile has officially announced about the phone is that it is going
to be the network's first HSPA+
compatible smartphone. HSPA+ is a so called "3.5G"
cell phone transmission technology (LTE and WiMAX are considered the
only "true" 4G technologies). T-Mobile insists on
billing it as a "4G equivalent", though, which recently led to harsh
words from rival AT&T.
T-Mobile's G2 teaser page
is here.
