T-Mobile has officially confirmed the G2 this week, the long-awaited successor to the first ever Android device, the G1.
The G2 will be T-Mobile's first device to support HSPA+, the carrier's very fast 3.5G/4G data network.
Furthermore, the device will have an 800MHz Snapdragon MSM7230 processor, which has the HSPA+ support built-in. While slower than current 1GHz chips, the processor can still record 720p video and handle Flash videos.
The G2 will also run a stock Android 2.2 (with no custom UI) and will have Swype as the default keypad.
Made by HTC, the phone has a 3.7-inch multi-touch screen, an optical trackpad, a 5MP camera with LED flash, 4GB of internal memory and an extra 8GB microSDHC card.
Although the price and release date have not been confirmed, leaks have priced the device at $200 with contract ($500 without) with an October 6th release date.
