T-Mobile To Begin HTC G2 Preorders

Posted by timothy on from the but-who-wants-hspa dept.

cgriffin21 writes "T-Mobile Thursday finally confirmed what it's been hinting at for a while: The HTC G2, T-Mobile's HSPA+ successor to the HTC G1, is on the way. It'll be an Android 2.2 phone and run on T-Mobile's HSPA+ data network, which while not a 4G network offers what T-Mobile is calling 4G-like speeds up to 21 Mbps. T-Mobile hasn't confirmed pricing or exact availability but said it would open the G2 to presales for existing customers at the end of September."

    >>> The HTC G2, T-Mobile's HSPA+ successor to the HTC G1,

    Is it just me, or other people confused by these G1, G2 numbers? I thought we had already reached the level of G4 networks.

    You jest but that's exactly what I'm doing. I need a cellphone with web capability, but I don't need it until 2011 and I know new models of cellphones (with 3 or even 4 inch screens) will be released between now and then, so I'm waiting until the last minute rather than buy a 2 inch phone that will be obsoleted.
