As more and more tips come in regarding the T-Mobile G2 it gets harder and harder to sift through and decipher what is true and what is not. So all information as of new should be taken as nothing more than a rumor. Here is what a tipster told The Boy Genius Report.
All of the specs that CellphoneSignal reported are very wrong and the launch date could not be more off. The device is a fully touch handset and as much as we would like, does not have a physical full QWERTY keyboard. Yes there is a trackball at the bottom; they simply could not let it go. The launch of the device has been delayed from late February to April due to uncontrollable software issues.
The T-Mobile G2 will actually be launched on another global carrier with a different name, as T-Mobile G1, G2 and G3 are trademarks of T-mobile. The tipster did not see the G3, yes there apparently is a G3 and it is reportedly coming not long after the G2. We hate to drown you with more rumors, but we felt that we should give you the most reliable rumor out there right now.

What the F***!
It's going to be a G2 under another carrier, why would they modify the G1 to sell on another carrier.
And how!? If the G1, 2 & 3 are Trade Marked
So what will the second generation G1 look, if they stole the design for this phone here
How confusing is that...
I admit that Shawn was slightly overzealous with the story (and that’s what make him the perfect editor). That being said, I fully support and back him on this piece. Android Community does not owe any of you “displeased” visitors one f-ing apology. Those of you claiming AC should be ashamed for running this story — well I guess you can say the same for countless other major publications starting with Mobile Crunch, Michael Gartenberg of Media Bistro or ZDNET.
So here’s the bottom line, if you’re not satisfied with our coverage, I’ve said it before in the community and I’ll repeat it here —- you’re welcome to visit other Android sites, Android Community isn’t the only Android news / community source on the web! One last thing, feel free to email us your member ID (androidcommunity @ gmail.com) and we’ll be more than happy to delete it from the system.
Wow sounds like the AC staff loves us to death. All you guys had to do was correct it and apologize like any "journalist" should. Instead you tell the people that support your site where to go? I'm confused here.
Shawn in response to the new article, much better, still definitely sounds like a rumor.(Glad you said it was this time. That's all you had to do last time!) Maybe you could do some digging and find out where the "tipster" was or went to "see" the G2 and the other carrier's phone and not the G3....was it a conference, demo, corporate espionage? Just wondering. I think AC would love to see a piece on the "Anonymous Tipster" and his sources.
Nice way to back off your earlier ridiculous post about the G2. I hope the more page hits you get is worth the hit you took to your credibility.
and you know you sound like an ass also, right?
happy holidays everyone, hope everyone's is filled with joy and peace! :/
a phone rumour causes phonegate 08. people need to lighten the f up.
It's being released by some no name Chinese company that is using "G2" to cash in on the G1's popularity. All this aside, AC's handling of this "story" has been rather poor. Using a litlle common sense, tmobile would have never gone with the g1 if its replacement was going to be only a few months down the road
IDENTICAL
to the G1
It doesn't necessarily mean that it's a sequel or new edition.
Just different hardware.
So whether it's the new iPhone that uses Android, or a prepaid one from Target, it's still going to be like the G1, maybe just different hardware.
i'm hoping you're right... I hope they do get their uniqueness later on.
Or else i'll feel like i'm in some apocalyptic future where everybody has Android on different phones... ahhhh
...i kid i kid
....kinda

Sounds legit, but wouldn't all the employees have the G1 already !?
sorry but you set yourself up

But what does that have to do with a rumoured phone that probably doesn't exist?
