T-Mobile Confirms HTC G2, Successor to the G1
Nearly two years after the G1, T-Mobile is launching the G2.
We're knee-deep in Android phones these days, but we all remember the one that started it all, the G1. Ah, the G1. Slightly industrial in design, the phone garnered a dedicated following and paved the way for the likes of the Epic 4G, the DROID 2 and, of course. Google's own Nexus One.
Though it's been a while since we heard any talk of the rumored G2, it seems HTC has been busy working on the G1 successor, as T-Mobile today confirmed the smartphone, along with the minor detail that this will be the network's first HSPA+ cell phone.
Right now we don't have any specs, a release date, or a price. However, we do know from previous leaks that this little puppy will be seeing a September release, so expect to hear more about T-Mobile's rival to the Epic 4G and the EVO 4G in the coming weeks.
We'll keep you posted when we find out more on this one.

Please let it have a hardware keyboard.

+1. And no eFUSE,etc and add Snapdragon and sell a unlocked version too.
This is great, can't wait to see the spec's. I have a G1 myself and i absolutely love the phone. It would be nice if it still had a slide keyboard. Hate those small touch pad ones on phones, can't press one keypad worth my life.
I heard g2 is

Heh. I was thinking the exact opposite. Slide out keyboards add bulk, weight, and are the first thing to break in phones. I still love my BlackBerry Bold 9000 qwerty keyboard but it is so limiting in functionality. I type much faster on my iPod Touch. To each his own but my next phone will be a slate.

I'm with you, only reason I don't move to a Samsung Vibrant right now is no keyboard. Yeah, they got the My Touch Slide, but the G2 around the corner, I'm gonna hold out.
Wouldn't their "answer" to the Epic be the Vibrant, since they're the same basic phone? I would think this would be their answer for the Droid 2 or something like that.

There aren't that many upcoming hardware keyboard Android phones coming out, so you'll excuse me if I would rather have the G2 be a logical successor to the G1. It's slim pickings for us HW KB lovers.
And though I somtimes use swype, I never could understand how anyone using a touchscreen keyboard (weight and bulk aside) could prefer it to a real keyboard. I type pretty fast on my home computer's Logitech G11 keyboard, and if you replaced it with a same sized touchscreen keyboard, I'd lose speed and that tactile feedback.
Do people seriously prefer tapping on a screen for text input? I'm sorry, but I can type in the dark or while holding looking around with my Droid. I can't do that with my gf's iPhone. I understand the BB keyboards are cramped, but I hardly think the crApple's solution is the best. But oh well, I'm sure some company sooner or later will take a step backwards in evolution and create a larger home version of a touchscreen keyboard.
I mean, they did make first-person shooters for the controllers on consoles.
The G2 is said to have a 1GHz processor in it.
The only person I knew who had/still has a G1 doesn't even know how to use the market. She bought it as a status symbol. Sad people would pay $30 extra every month for a status symbol.

LOL, $30 a month? That's nothing; you should see what people pay for a mercedes, bmw, jaguar, etc.

How do you think Apple stays in business? In fact, how do you think MOST companies stay in business?
My friend had a G1 but recently got a Vibrant. Phone is sexy as hell.
I remember the launch of Rogers G1 just last year. Amazing how far Android has come in just 2 years.
