T-Mobile is officially announcing the T-Mobile G2 Android handset today. The G2 also known as the HTC Desire Z is the first commercial device to feature Qualcomm’s MSM7230 chipset (which is now part of the SanpDragon family) clocked at 800Mhz. It will be interesting to check out the performance of the device given that it packs an Adreno 205 GPU and also an improved video decoding/encoding block. The G2 is equipped with a 5MP camera (with flash) and can shoot 720P videos similar to all the high-end devices currently on the market today. No word on the screen panel used but don’t be surprised if it’s a S-LCD panel at first at later AMOLED once Samsung finally catches up on the manufacturing side. Android 2.2 is obviously the on board installed on the internal 4Gb of ROM (the device will ship with a free 8gb Micro-SD). The device will be available for to pre-order later this month for $199 with a 2 year contract and $499 without. Check out the full press release filled with lots of HSPA+ talk after the break:
