[CTIA 2010] Remember the T-Mobile G1 that came out all those years ago which had the crowd go “Wow!” simply because it was a touchscreen phone and played the role of being an iPhone killer (which it failed miserably)? Well, as most of you would know by now, the 4G-enabled T-Mobile G2 which is powered by an 800MHz processor comes with Android 2.2 Froyo right out of the box as well as Flash Player 10.1 to get you started off the right foot for a mobile Web browsing experience alongside one-touch quick keys for easy access. We managed to spend some time with it at CTIA, and felt that the design was good but the keyboard did not do any justice to our fingers as the keys were a tad hard to push – definitely not on par with the BlackBerry family, but on the other hand, it isn’t that hard to get used to it after a while either. Image quality looked pretty sharp with its 5-megapixel camera. Check out our photo gallery of the T-Mobile G2, with the full list of specs in the extended post. Do bear in mind that the T-Mobile G2 will not support tethering at the moment.
