T-Mobile G2: Yes another Google Android Phone

Looks like: THE.PERFECT.PHONE.

Seriously, I’d buy this phone in a heart beat. I also LOVE the tilting screen idea. It’s essential and I can’t believe the company that made the HTC Tytn II didn’t include the tilt joint on the G1…

Here’s for a magnificent G2.

damn cant wait to get my g2 i was getting g1 but i heard about thois one and no i know what phone i want.

i wonder if they will make a g3…

Hold on man. This is a concept done on photoshop. Get the G1. The G2 is still in the works, nobody knows how it will look like. T-Mobile already purchased the G1, G2, G3, G4 names online.

whats it mean that the phone is going to be “flushed” or have “less dead space”…

A “flush” screen, means a screen that is on the same level of the rest of the phone, and has very little plastic separating it from the edges of the phone. The iPhone’s screen is a flush touchscreen.

“Dead space” refers to all the black plastic on the front of the phone which is not occupied by the screen or by buttons.

Hey um..I got one question..What’s a tilt screen?

A tilt screen is a screen that can be tilted or “bent” up when it’s slid out. It allows you to easily view the screen when it’s placed on a desk. A famous example of a tilt screen would be the HTC Tytn II phone. You can google for it and take a look.

Looks absolutely amazing, If this image comes true, I will buy it IMMEDIATLY. Those people who keep saying that the HTC HD will be the next G2, can honestly go to hell, because that’s the worst idea I’ve ever heard. If Google decide to go with the touch HD they have absolutely no business sense at all. Buyers don’t want another iphone competitor they want a google phone for christs sake!

i choosed the HTC Touch HD because of its big screen and nice design.. just a similar phone with nice design, a big display and an Operating system like the android or general linux is… i never thought about business… lol…

Wow… You obviously don’t understand wat I’m sayin here (it’s pretty clear though…cough… cough) I don’t care if u chose the Touch HD before it’s even on Android, wat I’m sayin is that leaving the g1′s design for the g2 and using the touch hd’s would hurt google’s sales numbers significantly. DO YOU UNDERSTAND NOW?

wat does android mean for a phone

Android is a mobile phone Operating System that Google recently made. It is the an open mobile OS, meaning it’s free, anyone can download it, improve it, and develop programs for it, free of charge.

Actually google bought out the company Android in 2000 they did not make the operating system, maybe improve it but did not make it. Why didn’t they just get right the first time this really pisses me off. You couldn’t have made a sleeker phone and put the tilt screen on it !!!! Does google know that the phone is being bashed everywhere. Don’t get me wrong I love my G1 but i just still cant get over the short commings. Your Google you should be able to beat Apple hands down in every aspect!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Im sorry I still like iphone better, the G2 better be sick……………..

Yea I agree that Google should beat Apple bigtime. Google owns Youtube so they should have a faster way to have the videos download on there OS. Also if they make the G2 sleeker, better touchscreen, faster reponse, and talk with Intel and HTC about makin an Intel Mobile Processor then that would destroy Samsung, Motorola, Apple, and Blackberry smart phones. Its all on playing your cards right I am workin on a mobile OS of my own if anyone interested in helpin email me wmnchrisjones@aol.com

G1 isn’t all that,phone freezes up on u and Youtube takes awhile to play a video.I posted it on ebay and sold it for $400 when i paid $200 for it. T-Mobile is still my favorite just the G1 ain’t what people make it out to be. Happy Holidays!

You do know this is fake… it is a mock up not a real phone. There is only the Andriod 2.0 update coming soon. So far there is no phone set to be the G2 “For Sure”. Right now the G2 is a concept phone someones idea mocked up and made with photo shop.

I think the G1 needs some work. I like my G1 yet it just is slow with changing applications especially text messaging. It is always changing from 3g to wifi every five minutes. Also I wud like to see better youtube and a touch keyboard on the so called “G2″! And I hope android or google or whoever will allow the G1 users to get a software upgrade off the market or something soon that speeds up all the applications and stuff.

P.S. I am using the G1 right no and I am noticing the letters are appearing slowly!

I got soo exciting when i heard about G2 phone, i just want it to look a bit sleeker, shinier maybe? i saw this excellent photoshop edit of the G2 phone

i really like the change in the grey knob and the whole image overall.
then again… this is a bit too much like the HTC.
Sleekness is very important in my idea to the image of a phone o.O
to the improvements that Chris Jones mentions, those would be excellent but of course it’s easier said that done.
i would love the new era of phone thats are like computers/laptops but smaller and portable.
These improvements will come with a price though… im sure, who knows how much it would cost!

Yes I understand all phones freeze up well most phones. I did own a Palm Treo 700wx that was a great phone I had it for about 6 months and I froze about 3 times all together. Yes it maybe a while til we get Intel Processors to make out phones not freeze as much when it processes information. Also putting in a lil more memory than they have know may help with speed. The touch screen needs to be able to change sensitivity that the owner wants. That would make me happy I like my touch screens pretty sensitive touch screend.

my question is i can the voice command to work I hope they fix that problem with the G2. Also they need to separate port for the ear phones and power connector it’s apain to listen to my mp3′s and have to stop to charge up my phone. other then that i really recommend the phone.

I really need to spell check! what I ment was that I can’t get the voice command to work.

why is everyone wanting intel processors in their phone? isn’t the battery life bad enough already? better to stick with ARM and just put a faster one in there.

i have the g1…as long as it makes calls its fine

yea i want the same thing(touch screen keyboard)…good thing it just came out. look in the market for Chomp sms. it is a texting app you can use the qwerty keyboard and the touch screen. you can even text through chomp by buying credits.

There should be a good chance that the G3 will come out soon like at the end of 09′ or in 2010. I know its faster than apple because the phone has more 3 companies working for it. Android for the software, htc for the shell and other non-software items. As for google,well, I dont know what they do.

Whats the release date for the g2?

I thought the HTC Magic was the G2. Touch HD is gonna be expensive.

Google should be aiming at the masses and design phones which would run smooth, have full features at lower end processors.

That means cheap price. And i feel android is capable of doing that.

I realize this is a bit of a late rebuttal, but come on ike… It’s not about “Google” having a “phone”… Google isn’t concerned with the hardware. If they were, they would design THEIR OWN, just like apple has… But, since Google isn’t worried about the hardware, they are concerned with the SOFTWARE, they come out with a couple of pilot phones that they brand as their own, giving the general consumer AND the cell manufacturers a taste of what can be done with some decent hardware and and a kick ass Mobile OS and vola! You have a Google phone! Google isn’t trying to brand a “Google Phone”, they are trying to brand Google as the platform that RUNS MOBILE CELL PHONES. That’s where apple went wrong. Apple keeps trying to brand their own software on-top of their own hardware. It is a business model that works… somewhat, but always seems to fail in the long-run. I’m not an Apple hater and I’m not saying they don’t know how to do business, but I will say that the governing board of Apple has always been a bit narrow sighted…

You might say that Microsoft has already branded mobile phones with the Windows Mobile OS… Well, that’s fine but have you actually seen a windows mobile phone that does what an iPhone or Android can do? Microsoft can have the latest greatest hardware and their OS will still run like crap on it… (PC or Phone, take your pick)

What about the Palm Pre with their “Mobile Web” os? Palm has always taken the same route as Apple: “We make our own Software for our own hardware and we don’t want anyone else to use it!” So, Palm will have the same problem as Apple… A small line of phones with a killer OS, made exclusively by Palm that only a handful of Mobile carriers will sell…

As a little history lesson, before the G1 released, there were (if my memory recalls) only two US based cell phone manufacturers that were part of the open handset alliance: Motorola and HTC. Now that the G1 has released, Guess what! Samsung, LG, Toshiba and Sony are onboard! So, there are now a total of 6 US based cell manufacturers that will at some point, probably create phones to handle Android… (don’t blast me on some rough numbers here, but,) 6 cell manufacturers offering Android, each with let’s say 3 phones per year, that’s 18 different flavors of cell phones (hardware) running android, against 1 Apple iPhone + OS, and 1 Palm + Web Mobile OS per year… Which OS do you think will win?

I am frustrated that the G1 has no facility to text using one hand only as with almost all other phones. Surely it would not be difficult to devise a program to text from the touch dialer screen

the tilting thing is on the cupcake update. I got it. It also has an onscreen keyboard that is kind of hard to get used to

I just got my G2 and I am loving it

I like the g2. It’s super fast and has a lot of extras. I hate making phone calls on it. It mutes the phone, the screen flashes, the call dsometimes drops the cal, the screen blacks out I can’t answer the phone sometimes, it locks on it’s own at any given moment
