The T-Mobile G2 follows up the success of T-Mobile G1 which landed two years back and continues long-lasting partnership between HTC and T-Mobiles. The T-Mobile G2 handset is a unique with first HSPA+ enabled device in the market.The package contains T-Mobile G2 handset, 8GB microSD card, microUSB cable, Wall Charger, Stereo Headset & Start Guide. Let’s get into the mobile phone hardware, software and features.
T-Mobile G2 Design & HardwareMany things in T-Mobile G2 handset are different from its predecessor T-Mobile G1 except the landscape style physical keyboard. HTC is known for fantastic smartphones designs and G2 is one among them. The HTC G2 mobile phone has got some different construction. It has aluminum finish and silver color coating on the devices which makes the handset really beautiful.
The T-Mobile G2 handset includes a slide out full QWERTY layout keyboard. We thought that the inclusion of full keypad would make the handset heavy but we were astonished to see the weight of it at 6.35 oz with the device at 0.56 inches in thickness.
The handset has 3.7 inches display screen with WVGA resolution at 480 x 800 pixel screen size. It’s capable of producing rich looking colors to choose from 16 million and it’s nowhere close to AMOLED display. At the bottom of the screen there are four capacitive buttons namely home, menu, back and search keys.
On the left edge of the mobile phone we have the microUSB port with volume rockers keys with some good touch. On the top edge includes the 3.5 mm headset jack along with dedicated power button. The rear side is covered with aluminum. You have got 7 home screens to personalize your mobile with various widgets, icon and shortcuts.
For some or the other reason the G2 mobile phone comes with 800 Mhz Scorpion processor with Qualcomm MSM 7230 chipset. To power the operating it includes 512 MB RAM.
The T-Mobile G2 comes with Android Froyo operating system by default but it can be upgraded to the latest Gingerbread version any time without anyone as we are here to help you with that with tutorials. The G2 mobile can be upgraded to any latest version upcoming in the future too.
The T-Mobile G2 has quad-band GSM (850/900/1800/1900 MHz) and dual-band UMTS (1700/2100 MHz) connectivity. The G2 handset marks the first device to support HSPA+ connectivity in United States which means that it will offers a very quick data speeds via T-Mobile. You also have connectivity with 802.11 b/g/n Wi Fi as the alternative internet connection. The Bluetooth 2.1 can help you in pairing with various devices for wireless transfer and aGPS for all of your location needs and navigation.
The web browsing experience on theG2 is better with the combination of HSPA+ connectivity and the support of Flash 10.1. You would be able to miss the option of mobile internet tethering.
When you have Android on your mobile phone which is powered by Google, you would be included with pre-loaded apps like Google Voice Actions from Google, Google Voice, Android Market, Gmail, Google Maps, Google Goggles, YouTube, Google Talk, Google Earth & Google Sky Map.
It’s provided with 4G of internal storage, 8 GB of free memory card which can inserted in microSD card slot expandable up to 32 GB card. This handset is available in White and Black color but white colors looks really nice and vibrating.
Includes a 5 mega pixel camera with autofocus and LED flash. The maximum resolution possible are 2592 x 1944 pixels in the picture and yes the 720p HD video recording at 29 frames per seconds is possible with this camera. There is no front camera included in this mobile handset.
T-Mobile G2 Battery Life
T-Mobile G2 handset runs on Lithium ion based 1300 mAh battery which provides a talk time of 9 hours and 30 minutes during 2G and 6 hours 30 minutes during the 3G usage. The standby time on this device is 430 hours during 2G and 400 hours during 3G though these are the ideal parameters tested at the extreme suitable conditions.
This mobile phone is priced at $ 449 for the unlocked version at the various retailers online. As usual on T-Mobiles network it would be available with a price tag of $ 199 on contract for two years.
Conclusion
Certainly there are few things which go in favour of T-Mobile G2 with one of the best designs in the recent past. The metallic and tough exterior presents the sense of durability and the HSPA+ connectivity would be great for the web surfing. I really love the QWERTY layout keypad in this mobile phone and I would say go with it :))
