T-Mobile G2 Touch delayed? Maybe

T-Mobile UK has yet to confirm the availability date of its G2 Touch (HTC Hero) smartphone, noting that it’s not been delayed since the date was never set. However, the launch announcement that originally went out did specify “mid-July”, so that certainly would mean sooner rather than later.

I’m on a train heading home from New York right now. While in town I got to spend a bit of time with the new HTC Hero in the teflon white color scheme. I shot video as well, but that will have to get posted tomorrow. For now, just enjoy a few decent quality photos of the hot new Hero. Trust me, it is as sweet as you hoped it would be. Even some former Android nay-sayers were praising the new HTC user interface on it. Full gallery after the jump.

T-Mobile UK announced through its twitter channel that it will be offering the HTC Hero as the G1 Touch starting in mid-July. It will be available for free starting at £40 per month on a Flext plan, which includes £225 of credit and unlimited internet browsing. The company highlights the fact that the G1 Touch (and Hero) has a 7 panel wide home screen, which will let users put all of those shiny new HTC Widgets to good use. They also highlight the multi-touch zooming control, which the device sorely needs. You’ll find a couple of images of the G1 …
