The G2 with Google: Is this the Android T-Mobile customers are looking for?

This morning, T-Mobile updated its website to include a teaser for the forthcoming T-Mobile G2 with Google. It is advertised as the next generation version of the T-Mobile G1, which you may remember (but probably not) was the first phone released with the Android OS. The details are scarce, which could be an effort to avoid premature tech reviews that compare it to the iPhone (see yesterday’s GSL Op-Ed).

What they do say is that the device includes integrated Google Services (hence the ‘with Google’ moniker). They also say it is 4G capable and designed to take advantage of T-Mobile’s new, HSPA+ network. It is nice to see that the oft-overlooked T-Mobile customer might actually get something decent that will help curb the feelings of Android-inferiority caused by other carriers, like Sprint and Verizon Wireless, who seem to have a new Android device every few months. T-Mobile customers, as well as the curious, tech onlooker, can sign up for email updates on the G2, via the device’s official T-Mobile page.

As soon actual details become available regarding technical specifications, pricing, and preordering, we’ll be sure to pass them along.
