T-Mobile Officially Unveils the G2


T-Mobile released a few details  about the upcoming T-Mobile G2 with Google last month, but now the carrier is making it official. 
 T-Mobile today announced that the G2, the follow-up to the G1, the first-ever Android phone, will be available for pre-order later this month.

T-Mobile did not say exactly when the G2 would be available or how much it will cost, noting that "additional availability details will be shared in the coming weeks.
" The carrier did detail the features of the phone for the first time, however, noting that it offers a 3.7-inch touch screen that has a "unique hinge design that opens to reveal a full QWERTY keyboard
." The G2 also will offer a 5-megapixel camera, an HD video camera, an 800-MHz Snapdragon processor, and version 2.2 of the Android OS. Like the G1, the G2 will be manufactured by HTC.

T-Mobile also is hyping the phone's speed, noting that it "will offer customers downloads at 4G speeds," thanks to its support of T-Mobile's new HSPA+ network. While the HSPA+ network isn't a true 4G network,

it is faster than a typical 3G network and can, in some situations, offer data speeds that rival 4G service.

T-Mobile says the HSPA+ network now covers 100 million Americans in more than 55 major metropolitan areas.
