HTC says no to QWERTY Android phones, G2 owners put a sad face
by Bams Sadewo on Apr 23, 2012 30 Comments">30
With top-tier smartphones sporting physical QWERTY keyboards becoming a rarity these days, we can add HTC to the list of phone manufacturers that won’t be offering a new keyboard-equipped Android smartphone anytime soon. Speaking during a press event in Seattle, HTC creative director Claude Zellweger explained the company’s stance on creating QWERTY phones. “As a company, the QWERTY keyboard we’re moving away from in general”, he said. This can be translated as the company’s reluctance to go against the current, with more and more manufacturers focusing solely on producing touchscreen phones, some without physical buttons at all. Zellweger added that …
Easy Root and Unroot for T-Mobile G2
by Ken East on Mar 08, 2012 8 Comments">8
Android Custom ROMs are all over the place and there’s nothing more exciting than trying them on your device most especially if it is based on Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich. However, before users get to enjoy the thrill of trying different ROMs, they must first take a very important step–that of rooting their device. Rooting involves complex procedures and it’s risky, but not anymore because there already are easy rooting tools available. If you own a T-Mobile G2, I have good news for you. An easy rooting tool–Mr. Root–is now available for your device that will allow you to …
Install MIUI 4 Ice Cream Sandwich on HTC Desire Z and T-Mobile G2
by Joe Baquilta on Feb 13, 2012 2 Comments">2
Much has been said about MIUI. This popular custom ROM has already received so many good reviews from users. One of the qualities that set this ROM apart from the others is its user interface. The simple and straightforward looks of its UI make this custom ROM stand out. Some might say that its design was just copied from the iPhone, but if you are already using it, you can definitely tell its distinct qualities. The recently updated MIUI 4 has been an astounding breakthrough. This new update is already based on Android 4.0.3 Ice Cream Sandwich. Just imagine the …

From the looks of it, the G2 will run $199.99 with a two-year service agreement and $499.99 retail.
Updates: 800MHz T-Mobile G2 for $199?
by James Tromans on Sep 02, 2010 0 Comments">0
We recently posted pictures of the forthcoming T-Mobile G2, but we can now provide you with further information to get those hearts racing. Unfortunately, this might not be as exciting as you had hoped for. As the title suggests, the G2′s MSM7x30 chip will be clocked at 800MHz. If you are anything like us, you would have been hoping for a a 1Ghz processor. The upside to this news is that the battery will probably last a lot longer and T-Mobile are still calling it “the fastest smartphone experience in America”. They are either lying through their teeth, ignorantly blissful, …

Today T-Mobile USA revealed that its first HSPA+ powered 3.5G smartphone will be called the G2. It launched a teaser page saying as much. No real details are there, not even a photo, but the company said that more info will be coming in the next few weeks or so. As luck would have it, that coincides with an HTC event in London on September 15th, that we expect to be the launch of the HTC Desire HD, which would make a fine G2 for T-Mo.
myTouch 3G coming in three colors on T-Mobile
by James Tromans on Jun 05, 2009 0 Comments">0
We all knew that T-Mobile USA is sitting pretty on the upcoming HTC Magic/MyTouch/G2/Sapphire/whatever, but thanks to Engadget, we now have some attractive box art images to satisfy our hunger. The designer handywork reveals, for sure, that the device is going to run by the name of myTouch 3G. The slightly modern yet colorful vector grunge artwork is pretty appealing and goes some way in telling us that the myTouch 3G will come in three colors, including ‘merlot’ (a rich dark red), white, and black. If you want to take a look at the sea-horses and humming birds that have …

Today we took a trip into Soho, London, UK, to visit Vodafone’s invite only launch for the HTC Magic. The private members club was a fitting venue for the UK launch of one of the most highly anticipated phones of the summer. Although somewhat hard to find, the venue provided an intimate spot for us to have a face to face with Vodafone about the HTC Magic, Vodafone’s decision to get involved with Android and their plans for the future. Here’s what we learnt. First, a few quick important points. If you want to grab yourself a Magic and you …

by James Tromans on Mar 27, 2009 3 Comments">3
Another great day for T-Mobile and HTC; the FCC has recently passed the HTC Magic, making the device’s arrival in the United States now just a formality. This will be the second Android device for T-Mobile USA, leaving Sprint still pining for some Android love. In case you have just made it back from the moon, here are some of the important spec details for the HTC Magic. The soft styled, curved handset offers a 3.2-inch HVGA (320×480 pixels) TFT capacitive touchscreen display along with video recording provided by what appears to be an upgraded 5 megapixel camera.

China Mobile gets HTC Magic/Dopod G2 with iPhone UI style
by Michael Oryl on Mar 18, 2009 0 Comments">0
Chinese site IT168.com has posted a series of live photos of the new HTC Sapphire based smartphone that is heading to China Mobile, the world’s largest mobile network. The interesting part of the device is how the user interface has been tweaked. It has a very different look to it, and you can even see a few icons that appear to have been ripped off from the Apple iPhone. This TD-SCDMA based 3G version of the Sapphire could end up being called the Dopod G2. Dopod is the brand that HTC markets under in Asia. You’ll find more photos after …

by Michael Oryl on Mar 18, 2009 4 Comments">4
I was just watching a nice video from CNET France that shows, among other things, the new circular zooming control in Android’s web browser and photo viewer (at the 2:02 minute mark). Yes, the video is in French, but it’s still worth watching just for what you see. If you speak French, then consider that a bonus and feel free to translate any interesting tidbits you might hear and leave them in a comment, below. The original story can be found at the CNET France website. The video is available after the jump. Thanks to inalmada for the tip!
HTC Magic shows up on FCC w/o T-Mobile USA 3G support
by Michael Oryl on Feb 25, 2009 0 Comments">0
Now before you get all in a tizzy about the ramifications of the Magic showing up on the FCC site w/o support for T-Mobile USA, bear in mind that it is dead common for foreign variants of U.S. bound devices to be tested by the FCC even though they won’t ever be sold here. This doesn’t mean, necessarily, that T-Mobile won’t be getting the Magic (G2), or that AT&T will. Chances are exceedingly high that the FCC will get a second version of the Magic/G2 to test that will include T-Mobile’s AWS 3G support. It does reinforce the expectation that …
