T-Mobile’s Walmart roadmap: T-Mobile G2 with a surprise
You thought T-Mobile would go ahead and launch the same identical HTC Sapphire hardware as those other carriers, didn’t you? Well, it looks like good old T-mo US might have a surprise up its sleeve — at least it did. You’ll be pleased as punch to know that besides the rumored color options (which this photo does confirm to a certain extent), the T-Mobile G2 (if that is the actual name) will apparently feature a 5 megapixel camera instead of a 3.2 megapixel one. Who says your buddies at BGR don’t come through with the goods? We’re looking at a July release from Walmart and a $179 price tag with a 2-year contract. McDonald’s Supersized image after the jump (throwback edition)!
i heard the camera is a 3.5 mp and will come in the colors white, black and merlot. so who’s right about the camera???
Why have WM involved? They just went and devalued the phone to the bottom 16% of consumers who are price shoppers. And I was thinking it was going to be a quality phone.
Because T-Mobile slides it’s own employees into busier WalMarts. Remember also, that Google needs to get this OS out there in a big way to start getting mobile usage data. Plus, TMO’s a bargain “family” oriented carrier, which makes them a popular brand for the bottom 16%
