We think we’ve got all those model names correct. We finally have our first (small) official press shots of the HTC QWERTY Android phone that’s been kicking around the internet in leaked form for months now – this time branded as the T-Mobile G2.
That’ll be the US model name, and like we said, we’re pretty sure this will eventually have the HTC branding stuck on it for a release in the UK as the HTC Desire Z. We think. Anyway. Here it is.
Definitely more than adequate. It’d certainly do. And here’s the reason everyone’s so excited, HTC’s latest go at doing an Android-powered QWERTY:
According to the source of the pics, the G2 specs are pretty much exactly what we’ve been expecting – a 1GHz processor, 3.7″ screen, Android 2.2, a 5megapixel camera and that all important slide out QWERTY keyboard. Hot, basically. Very hot.

It’s smooth to use, the 1080p display is sharp, clear and bright, the device is extremely light and thin and therefore very pocketable and portable — much more so than other 5-inch phones we’ve used. And yet… we’re a bit unimpressed by the overall package…
A relatively high-spec smartphone, with a 4.5″ display running at 480 x 854 resolution and powered by a 1.2GHz dual-core processor, plus the Ascend G510 arrives running Android 4.1.1 — albeit potentially hindered by Huawei only sticking 512MB of RAM inside it..
The Panasonic Eluga marks the company’s return to the European mobile phone scene years after several years of absence, and it’s come back to us with a moderately high-spec Android model that features a rather stylish, slim case.
Sony returns with an all-new mobile design for 2012, pairing a dual-core processor with a 720p display. It’s a lovely phone, but is it enough to end our Samsung and HTC obsession?
LG’s updated Prada phone comes with an absolutely crazy black & white theme, but is it just for fashionable suit wearers who want to make themselves look a bit more interesting?

/ September 1, 2010Looks pretty standard to me. this is what all the hype is about. just another Nexus 1 that we were begging for 8 months ago, when it WAS cutting edge. Always a step behind Huh Tmaybe.

/ September 1, 2010Well the processor and GPU is improved but not as quick than the Hummingbird in the Galaxy, other than that it is pretty standard aside from the keyboard.
