T-Mobile myTouch 3G (shown in white, Merlot (red) and black).
Earlier this week T-Mobile finally let out of the bag something we wrote about a while ago (think January!)– confirming the next version of the first Google Android phone– the G1– with the announcement of the myTouch 3G (some of you may know of this as the G2 or HTC Magic. HTC, who also made the G1, also make this phone). This is actually a much cooler phone that what it looked like in its apparently early stages when we first wrote about it. So buckle up T-Mobile users, and hit the more link, because a lot of awesomeness is about to come your way.
Is this the T-Mobile G2? January 21, 2009

T-Mobile G2???
Well pix are out now on the internet of T-Mobile’s next possible version of Google’s Android powered T-Mobile G1 (to learn about the original G1, see our previous posts here). The pix show a whole new design with no annoying “chin” for the trackball, and instead has the trackball built straight on the device (Finally! That “chin” must be really annoying to use for texting).
There also appears to be different forms of buttons underneath the screen, a 3.2 megapixel camera, and what is arguably the biggest design change– no physical keyboard. Yup, the G2 looks to drop one of it’s biggest feature in order to get a thinner design. Oh, and as of right now that would be a pretty big problem as Android doesn’t have a virtual keyboard like the iPhone. Don’t worry though possible G2 owners, we fully expect Android to have an official virtual keyboard well before this thing comes to it’s rumored launch in May 
I personally don’t find the new G2 design to be so great, as the smaller buttons and new design just look plain ugly to me (at least from this shot), especially when compared to phones like the iPhone, Blackberry Storm and Bold, and I even think it looks worse then the original G1 (which I didn’t think was so bad to begin with, minus the whole “chin”). Though, a bunch of awesome features would make that feeling go away pretty quickly 
(you know, an awesome, possibly even multi-touch touchscreen, a normal 3.5 mm headphone jack instead of the current “do all USB port” on the G1 would be some good starts).
Again all this is just a rumored device, as neither T-Mobile, HTC (the makers of the phone as well as the G1), or Google have said anything. But hey, assuming this is the G2, what features would you like to see in this phone? Do you like the new design, even if it means losing the keyboard? G1 owners, you like/dislike your G1, and would you reccomend the G1, or that people wait for the G2 to come out? Sound off in the comments.

Official T-Mobile G1 Review November 25, 2008
Posted by Nik G. in : Cell Phones, First Look/Reviews, Google , 1 comment so far
So I think it’s easy to say that hands down, the T-Mobile G1 Google phone, featuring the all-new, open sourced Android platform and a killer resistive touch screen, was one of the most anticipated handsets of 2008.
Fortunately, I was able to get a hands-on with the phone and have been using it for a couple of days now and I have seen impressive results with it.
This phone seems to be perfect for me, a complete slide out QWERTY keyboard, an awesomely amazing touch screen that is just as good as my iPod touch and of course, the iPhone, and the brand new, never before seen Android platform. (Android, for those who don’t know, is the new operating system from Google that is open-sourced, meaning that developers can make all sorts of applications to use on the phone, sort of like Apple’s App Store just here there is no blocking of apps like with Apple’s store)
Because the phone has been out for a while and you can find all the design/tech specs all over the web, I’ll focus more on 1) the apps available to the phone as well as 2) what you as a teen would care more about.
