The T-Mobile G2 — direct successor to the original Android smartphone — officially hits store shelves this Wednesday, but gadget fiends who live on the west coast of the United States can get their hands on one this weekend if they’re crafty.
RadioShack announced a few days ago that it would start handing its customers G2s on Sunday, October 3, three days before the official launch date, and consumer electronics blog Engadget has confirmed that some west coast RadioShack locations are already selling the handset. The RadioShack reps the Engadget team spoke with confirmed that most of the stores that aren’t already selling the phones will join the club tomorrow.
By this time most RadioShack stores are closed, but you should be able to grab one tomorrow morning if you’ve been anxiously awaiting the launch of the T-Mobile G2. You might not be the first, though; some lucky pre-order customers already saw their phones ship last week.
The T-Mobile G2 is a rejiggered version of the European HTC Desire Z smartphone. It has a 3.7-inch, 480 x 800-pixel display and a physical, QWERTY keyboard that flips out on what HTC calls “a Z-Hinge.” Add to that a microSD slot, a 5-megapixel camera with LED flash and 720p HD video recording and you’ve got a very modern smartphone, but nothing about it is revolutionary
