T-Mobile G2 Specs Revealed, Pre-orders Starting Later This Month

We knew the T-Mobile G2 (the successor to the G1, the first Android phone) is coming, but we didn’t know much about it – not even its looks. Now, T-Mobile has finally spilled the beans, and while the exact date the device is coming to the market is still unknown, customers will be able to pre-order limited quantities “later this month.”

Will it be as revolutionary as its predecessor? Judging by its specifications, it’s unlikely, but it does have a couple of interesting features. First of all, it supports HSPA+, which makes it the first T-Mobile’s 4G/3.5G smartphone. Furthermore, (we’d never guess it by looking at the front side of the device) it also has a “unique hinge design” that hides a full QWERTY keyboard.

If these features piqued your interest, get ready for the fairly standard (for newer Android smartphones, at least) set of specifications: a 3.7-inch screen, an 800 MHz Snapdragon CPU, and a 5-megapixel camera with a LED flash and autofocus, capable of recording HD (720p) videos. The device comes with 4GB internal memory with pre-installed 8GB micro SD card, and it supports up to 32 GB of external memory. Finally, there’s the 3.5mm headphone jack, Bluetooth, Flash support and that snazzy Swype text input people have been using to break texting records lately.
