T-Mobile G2 Officially Unveiled And Pre-sale In The Coming Weeks

Looks like the binary tweet from T-Mobile was right on the money as the carrier has officially lifted the wraps on the T-Mobile G2, the first HSPA+ phone to be launched in the US, offering a theoretical download speed of 14.4 Mbps. The G2 is manufactured by HTC, but it sticks to Google’s standard interface instead of HTC’s Sense UI. Pre-orders will begin later this month and specifications of the T-Mobile G2 include:

3.7-inch capacitive touchscreen display
Android 2.2 Froyo
800MHz Qualcomm MSM7230 Snapdragon processor
Slide-out QWERTY keyboard
Swype keyboard input
4GB internal memory
8GB microSD card pre-installed
Dedicated Quick Keys
5-megapixel camera with LED flash and autofocus
7 home screen panels
3.5mm audio jack
Bluetooth

HSPA+ is also known as Evolved High-Speed Packet Access. It is a mobile broadband protocol that was defined by the 3GPP standard, release 7. In Theory, the HSPA+ data rate can go up to 84 Mbps (Megabits per second) downstream (to the mobile), and 22Mbps upstream (back to the tower). These numbers are achieved by using multiple streams, so they should be considered theoretical and peak performance numbers. The HSPA+ specifications support up to 168Mbps of theoretical peak rate. Although many HSPA+ carriers call it 4G, it is very different from 4G LTE.
