Blog CellPhone Signal has acquired press images of T-Mobile’s HTC G2 handset we are due to see announced in the not-to-distant future. The G2 will be T-Mobile’s first HSPA+ phone, and CPS is reporting that the specifications will look like this: Android OS with HTC Sense UI, 3.7-inch OLED display, 1 GHz Snapdragon processor, slide-out full-QWERTY keyboard, 5 megapixel camera, aGPS, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, and optical trackpad. Looks pretty nice to us, what do you think?

UPDATE: As you may have noticed the device pictured seems to be running a stock versions of Android without SenseUI; despite what CellPhone Signal is reporting.

    i’m not a fan of sliders but this is a very nice phone, although it does look a little too feminine.

  • Shhhhhh

    Yawn….

    Wake me up when it hits T-Mo’s Buy One Get 12 Free.

    I love the smell of T-Mo in the morning!

    Smells like uh Craigslist.

    VERIZON had the first DROID, not T-mobile. I don’t get why you all think there would be no DROIDs without Tmobile when it was Verizon who brought us all the DROID and the DROID ERIS. Tmobile then came out with their mytouch which is a DROID wannabe. And then Sprint with the EVO, which is a good phone, but definitely not the first DROID like VErizon sold.

    • McMe

      Uh.. WRONG.

      T-mobile indeed had the first ANDRIOD phone.. the G1. The phone that generated the first bit of buzz about Android.

      True that Verizon and the DROID is what really put Android on the map.

    • You are wrong

      ha. my friend. you are an idiot.

      Droid is a marketing term. Android is the flavor, and T-mobile first carried it.

    • eddie

      Dude, gets some facts right.
      G1 was the first Android Phone.
      If it wasn’t for G1, android wouldn’t be hot. If it wasn’t for
      T-Mobile taking the risk of releasing a new OS, neither would Verizon or Sprint.

    • raulr

      @Norm. Check your facts before spouting off flat out wrong statements. Although, technically Verizon is the only carrier for “Droids” since they license it’s use for their line of phones, Android phones worldwide debut was with T-Mobile USA.

      • Norm

        you just proved my point… Verizon brought the DROID, no one else sells “G1′s”, whatever they are. Verizon brought the world DROID and you should thank them.

      • SI

        You’re an idiot.

        Android is a platform. Droid is a brand.

        The first Motorola Droid was UGLY. It had the worst QWERTY keyboard ever made. It had a processor barely more powerful than the G1 yet it had a bigger screen so it lagged like crazy… and foolish mass consumer ate it all up because Verizon spent a billion dollars marketing it. Sad truth is whatever Verizon decided to market as its next ‘iphone killer’ would have had sales as good as the Droid, and if you read up on it, it was almost the Palm Pre which is what your lame ass would be holding right now.

        Not to mention Verizon is going to be REMOVING Google services from their future Android devices and replacing it with… BING! So good luck with that…

        At&t kills the ability to install apps not in the Android market so way to go for them killing the openness out of the OS without rooting and major work arounds.

        T-Mobile is the only sensible and BEST carrier for Android.

      • Jeff

        actually just to set everything out straight , android existed even before the g1 but on tablets, which eventually lead to the mobile platform known as the g1 on tmobile .

        droid basically = android… shorten for dumbass to understand , hell .. if you ask for “android os” more than half the people would be clueless.

        Yes , the first motorola droid had the ugliest keyboard layout of all time but not anymore. the g2′s keyboard layout is ridiculously ugly… shouldve put arrow keys on the bottom right and wouldve been perfect but if they wanna fail then let them.

    • yak

      don’t feed the troll n00bs.

    • javierE186

      @norm dude for some1 that is ball licking bug red you sure sound like a retard with that 1st sentence. It’s like McMe said it’s a marking term

  • g-reg

    I truly hope this phone has stock Android. Please make this with stock android there has not been a true phone sold with stock Android since the original Droid and Nexus One. We need more phones shipping with Stock anderoid. Down with OEM Skins!!

    • MTSUNAMI

      Except Sense, its the one oem skin i can deal with all that Ninja blur and Touchwiz crap i can do without and to be honest i dont think stock android was really that refined until 2.1. Trust me Sense helped 1.6 really shine

      • g-reg

        Fine I will give that to you but I think that 2.0 when shipped with the original droid was the first glimpse of stock android being better refined software. However as you pointed out when HTC sense arrived on phones with Android 1.5, and 1.6 on the original HTC Hero everyone loved that shit because it brought the phone into the future and made people see the potential of android. Stock android has now incorporated many things into the stock flavor that HTC sense has had since Android 1.6 so you make a very valid arguement. I just think that there is to much variety in android handsets and it is causing confusion for the consumers once Android 3.0 comes out I think Google and the Android team needs to seriously limit how manufacturers skin their products to the point where Android is Android regardless of which company is producing and manufacturing the phones. A phone with stock Android is also better because it will allow google to push updates whenever they want and your device will be able to download it simultaneously instead of the long drawn out roll outs phone companies are doing now. Last but not least enough of letting phone manufacturers bring out hardware that has old software like the new onslaught of Samsung Galaxy S devices, the Droid X and Xperia X10. I don’t care if they are getting software updates in the next week a phone should always ship with the latest and greatest software if it has already been released. If this continues to happen this will just be a token complaint of Android users and make the Android brand look bad. I am an Android user and wouldn’t switch for the world. However I just think things need to change and Google needs to take care of them ASAP!

  • Mj

    If t mobile and google failed at delivering android do u think carriers like verizon would have picked it up? People were rooting g1s long before verizon got the droid. WTF r u talking about?

  • Mj

    @ norm are u retarded. U do realize droid is just the name of verizons android line and android STARTED WITH TMOBILE. It’s only sad that it took t mobile so long to release this phone.

  • futurejohn

    Is that really stock FroYo? The the icons in the lower center are edgy instead of rounded and there are 7 home screens. Does this mean it is a custom version?

  • 3 Phones Jugglin

    Dan Hesse…..

    Can you ask HTC to put that Tilting Feature like the TP2 into this when you Bring to this to Sprint? I kno you wont let me down.

  • Gee

    WTF with all this T-mobile bashing. Norm your a clown go read tech blogs for beginners. At lest this phone will get all updates. No wait for manufactors patch fix.

  • trini_pirate

    they could have done better

  • Brotha Darcness

    Norm,

    To go along with what everyone else is saying, T-Mobile brought Android OS to the market first. Actually, TMO was Googles second choice. Originally, they offered the platform to Helio, but they turned it down, which was there first mistake and then Iphone came out and everyone had to re-think how they did business. Think back, if you can, Helio was the most liked phone on the market prior to the release of Iphone. At any rate, G1 started it all and Marketing 101 dictates: Droid is a name or model, running Android V12 or V8 on a Motorola which is the make!

  • InNeed

    Get 1

  • amw

    Could thing thing look anymore like the Nexus One? And why do Android phone manufacturers decide to randomly order the four capacitive buttons on phones.?

  • NGA

    I think one of the major facts about this phone that everyone seems to be overlooking is the HSPA+ data speeds. The T-Mobile HSPA+ network is already larger than Sprint’s 4G and more than twice as fast. Now all T-Mobile needs is a better name for their high speed network.

  • NGA

    Oh yeah, Norm, your an idiot!

  • Philip

    Looks like a Sidekick to me.
