The spiritual successor to the original T-Mobile G1, the aptly named G2 will be available for pre-order tomorrow (Friday). Pricing has not been announced yet, but we're almost certainly looking at $200 for a two year contract. The G2 will be a QWERTY slider phone running stock Android 2.2 and will support T-Mobile's speedy HSPA+ network.
The handset is expected to run on a new generation of Qualcomm's Snapdragon CPU that's clocked slightly lower at 800MHz, but is capable of more operations per clock cycle. This phone is likely identical to the recently announced HTC Desire Z, though it will not have the Sense UI layer on top of Android. Anyone planning to pre-order it? What phone will you be moving from?

this is an awsome upgrade for me since i am still using my g1 and I always play emulator games like Nesoid and all the rest on it, it can be pretty good exept for the ps1 emulators like marvel vs capcon lol but hey its a g1 the first of its kind.
so i am just here waiting till I get to have one and see if its ether as good or better then the galaxy s phone in gaming.

So Google's not going to try to sell this online, like they did with the failed selling attempt of the G1.

I will definitely be getting this phone when it comes time to upgrade my contract. I had the G1, and while the funky slide mechanisms didn't always garner positive reviews, I think it's sort of a halmark of the "G#" now.
