News of the highly anticipated T-Mobile G2 is now hitting us fast and furious. Perhaps the most notable of all the news was the initial leak from the folks over at Cellphone Signal. Their report made a heck of a lot of claims on specs… You can read about it here, all summarized nicely by Will!
With that said, a new tipster has tipped the irreverent BGR off to new details, and it looks like the bits and pieces of the whole deal is changing a bit, including the ever important launch date.
Here are the key points right from the horses mouth:
- The product specs on the T-Mobile G2 that CellPhoneSignal ran weren’t actually all that far off, just the date was completely wrong.
- The device is a full touch device and there is no physical QWERTY keyboard.
- There is still a trackball at the bottom.
- The launch was delayed from late February to April due to software issues.
- We’ve been informed this device will actually launch on another global carrier besides T-Mobile as well, though they didn’t say who, and they said that the G1, G2, G3, etc., names are trademarks of T-Mobile and the other carrier would have a different product name for the device other than G2.
- There is supposedly (oh, god) a G3 coming not that far after the G2 but our tipster didn’t see the G3.
So, that’s the latest. As you can see by the mockup provided at BGR, even if the device looks half as nice as it appears, it will still provide more style and appeal than the current G1. I’m still chaffed about the G1… can’t understand how that made it out of HTC’s factories and into T-Mobile stores.
Stay tuned for more G2 rumors and fun.
