Probably will have a keyboard, most HTC design phones have a slide out keyboard.

if its a HTC phone. most HTC phones are thick, heavy, and powerful phones; packed with everything to make any tech hungry person satisfied.

I’m waiting on this phone I am already tired of my G1.

I currently own the G1, and I enjoy it very much. With that being said there are a few things I myself would have done differently with this phone. We could all hope that the G2 will be generally similar/ more a less an upgrade. Also, I would like to add that, even though I am very fond of my G1 and android technology… I find it rather un-fulfilling, that a phone of such magnitude does not have a video recorder; and as well no flash for the camera(what good is a 3.2mp camera with no flash- do explain the idea behind that!). So can someone answer me this, will the G2 have these things that an average phone that isn’t an ass load of money have? As far as the issue of not having the full qwerty keyboard; this I believe is a liking people have just gotten very comfortable with and it won’t be hard for people to advance with the touch screen technology. Lastly, I would also like to include and agree with some of the statements above; the design of the G1 is a tad on the generic looking side of things. For the price you pay for a phone of this magnitude it should look more sophisticated and classy. But on that note I’ve probably rambled on about my own opinion just a little more than I originally wanted to–furthermore the G2 will be a nice addition to the T-mobile family and I can’t wait to get my hands on it.

Well, on schedule T-Mobile and Google is having a launch party in about two weeks, April 2009. Those in the know say it will be to announce the G2.

Also, it is apparently the HTC phone that is in Europe, or similar to it will be a phone without a keyboard.

Not surprising, as I said before, the G2 is not a replacement for the G1, it’s an alternative for those who prefer a keyboardless phone, or iPhone fans.

In regards to the iPhone, a few of the reasons I chose the G1 is 1) has a keyboard; and 2) has a removeable battery.

I prefer a keyboard and I can’t imagine being held hostage to an internal battery, built in. Already on my G1 I bought two extended batteries for it. Love having that extra battery power, e.g., if the power ever goes out I have batteries on hand.

When the iPhone came out those were the two things that were big deal breakers for me.

I love my G1 and won’t go to any phone that does not have a physical keyboard.

i dont know what the G2 will look like, but i’ve been trying to figure this out myself to see if it’s worth the wait. im hoping the g2 will have a keyboard and a good camera. the keyboard was one of the main reasons i chose the g1 over the iphone and it’s the reason everyone with an iphone tells me they want one, that, and the forwarding, photo messaging, and the fact that you can charge it like a wireless ps3 controller to be honest, i’d just be happy if it had the same technology as long as it didnt look like a cheap cricket phone made with recycled plastic :/ << 0

I think its gay that it doesn’t have a keyboard. Not everyone likes full touch. If it does happen with extras and upgrades I hope my g1 will be upgraded. The only thing I think that needs to change is flash player needs to be available.

That’s a very nice phone can’t wait for the g3

I think the HTC Magic which has already been released in Europe is going to be the G2. It has not pull out keyboard which i’ll miss and is generally my fav thing on all the HTC phones I’ve had in the past. It will however include video capture which the G1 doesnt currently have. Check it out. It has a sleek design comes in Black, Bronze or White(sound familiar) and there is a kind of curving bottom where buttons are located also reminiscent of G1 but much much more beautiful a phone.

Keep waiting. For some reason many people seem to find moving to all touch screen and no physical keyboard is an improvement. if they lose the keyboard for G2. I doubt they are gonna bring it back for G3

Does the g2 have flash player or is it still strictly youtube.
That’s all the phone really needs. But the touchscreen keyboard should be pretty cool

Well, here we are in March 09 and no T-Mo G2. From the Net it looks like April.

And this is an ALTERNATIVE to the G1, for those who want an iPhone type device, sans physical keyboard.

My understanding is that Google and T-Mo will not make the same mistake as Apple did (angering consumers), so the G1 will be upgradable to the same features the G2 will have (video capturing, etc.)

Think about it. There are many people who want a keyboard, there are others who like the full screen, no keyboard concept (that results in a thinner profile, etc.)

I have used Blackberries for years, mainly because of the devices having a keyboard. I won’t buy a phone without a KB.

Any carrier having an ounce of sense would not force potential customers to phones without a KB. No, the wiser move is to have products that appeal to as large a customer base as possible. E.g., have a phone with a KB, one without.

So this G2 should not be looked at as a replacement for the G1, it’s simply giving customers another choice.

Me, I will stick with the G1. Will never go to a screen-based keyboard. But there are others who think the opposite, they perceive a keyboard as antiquated.

Oh and DarkCloud25 does make a lot of sense people. I was thinking about getting the G1 this weekend but all this makes me want to wait but then again…
It is probably all rumors, photoshop, and anticipation. The G2 probably won’t come until like Late 09 or spring 2010

But then again I remember reading a magazine that said by the time htc has a chance to manufactor touch HD’s to work in the US that the phone would have become obsolete. So unless HTC plans on makin a new phone with an old case we won’t see this phone a the G2. Plus here is the original picture that this photo shopped phone came from. It was a nice thought tho.

If this is photo shopped then htc needs to just go ahead and remake the HD like the above pic as the G2. I wanted the HD but the 3G doesn’t work here in the states. And having the Android OS is a plus too. DO IT HTC! DO IT!!!!

I dont know about this G2. I bought the G1 simple for the full touch screen and the flip out qwerty keyboard features. Seems to me that HTC is duplicating prior phones. The flip out keyboard was a BIG selling factor for me. Lets wait and see!

this is so photoshopped from the HTC Touch HD … i would like to see the G2, but if you look at a pic of a Touch HD the hardware from the front looks exactly the same except for the buttons.

If G2 would not be released around end of January 2009, many customers would be disappointed and may drop the idea of buying a G phone or may compromise buying an I-phone or may be G1. Speaking of me being an android application developer, I am waiting for G2 very badly since I need the android phone to test my applications also I don’t have any 3G phone with me!

I’ve had the O2 mini S for ages now, and although it’s got a phyical keypad, i never hardly use it. The thing’s way too small to actually touch type and you’re generally confined to either using just your thumbs or a finger. So for me, using a software-based keypad is just as effective, either with or without the stylus that’s provided. I would sooner have a slim designed, non-keyboard handset that can easily slip into my pocket anyday. If you want a device to type into that’s got a dedicated and practical keypad, get a friggin notebook pc! As for me, i’ll have an HTC touch HD running android please, and if T-Mobile bring out such a version (hopefully March/April), called the G2, they’ll have my order straight away!

From the rumors I’ve heard the phone does have a physicle keyboard, better signal holder(cause the g1 has lost a lot of calls,at least for me) and they have a possible release date and it will be late january early febuary but again these are rumors…. I love my g1 but of couse there needs to be some tweaking (I know its the first one and they will have probs and they did a great job) they are making the g2 a lot better and more “sexier” cause the g1 has that chin thing lol. Well its all I got from reading maybe if I find out more ill post more about the g2

While everyone is trying to scramble and catch up to the iPhone, Apple is in their labs designing even more innovative features to throw in their next-gen piece. I have a G1, and the iPhone just has superior build quality both with hardware AND software. I’ll still never get one though just because then i’d hafto also drive a VW Jetta

No, really though.. people need to STOP trying to play catch-up to the iphone and just design something of their own that is more successful. What is that? Beats me.. if i knew that then i wouldn’t be wasting my time on this website.
