Here is another additional information regarding the next Google Android-powered handset, the second HTC-built phone for the T-Mobile: the unconfirmed G2.
Yesterday, the T-Mobile blog CellPhone Signal posted a list of new features it claimed would be in the G2, with the supposed date of the device’s release: January 26, 2009 (OMG!). Then BGR just posted the device’s (look-like Photoshop’s) picture and told us that the launch date has been pushed back to April due to software issues.
As you can see, this device has no physical QWERTY keyboard and full touchscreen. The trackball at the bottom is going to stay. After the G2, a G3 handset is supposed to follow.
The new device will feature:
- Android OS
- 3G capable (where available)
- Full touch Screen
- Enterprise Capable
- WiFi capable (no word about UMA)
- 5 Megapixel camera with aoutofocus and flash
- Address Book

- Memory card Slot (up to 16GB)
