T-Mobile G2 Pricing Seen In Latest Leak Through T-Mobile’s Faucet

So the T-Mobile G2 pricing you ask? According to unofficial but ding-on-the-right-note-every-time TMoNews, the G2 will cost $199.99 on a 2-year contract, and $499.99 without. Mind you that T-Mobile is a GSM carrier, and the phone supports HSPA+ bands, so it’s a match made in heaven. Now all we (the tech industry and consumers) is an official unveiling and some detailed specifications. And of course a press invite *wink*.

Sony Ericsson’s UK Twitter Account Mentions Android 2.1 Coming To XPERIA X10 At End-Of-Month

Good news! The Sony Ericsson UK Twitter account today released a short @ reply, saying that Androdi 2.1 is pegged for a release on the Xperia X10 later this month. With a review unit inbound to the LaptopMemo office as we speak, I’d say it’s a pretty good thing.

One problem: is Sony Ericsson talking about the UK Xperia X10, or the AT&T one?

Questions, questions, questions. It’s more like superb annoyance.

Samsung Galaxy Tab teased again, this time with CDMA

Is this absurd now? Yes, yes it is. For leaked shots of an upcoming device to be so clear and so pretty it is. For the Samsung Galaxy Tab to have a label in the above photo that says “CDMA”, that also is too. So technically, the iAndroid team mentioned that the Galaxy Tab’s strong speakers, call quality, and ability the to run Flash 10.1 on Android 2.2 is a good thing. They also supposedly took the photos, and also mentioned that GPS can be a bit slow. Anywho, I want this thing bad Samsung.

So what did Boy Genius & Friends do today? Well in this case, some tasty tipster leaked out these shots which display in crystal-clear quality the HTC handset that is very much EVO 4G-like, but instead headed to Verizon. An 8 megapixel camera with dual-LED flash, front-facing camera, Sense UI, and has a built-in kickstand. Whatever it might be called, I’ll want this as a review unit in my office. Expect a report of some sort on this handset between the end of this week, and early next week. I am planning something interesting here y’know?

T-Mobile G2 HSPA+ Android phone photographed (aka HTC Vision?)

So the HTC Vision (known to T-Mobile as the G2, successor to the first ever Android phone, the G1) was recently seen in one of the best photo-shoots of a leaked device this entire month. Mr. BlurryCam didn’t dare try a shot at this one!

In the meantime, there’s an awesoome-looking QWERTY, dedicated camera button, screen size of 3.7 to 4.0 inches, and a lot of awesome 1GHz power with HSPA+ “4G speeds” provided by T-Mobile.

Maybe I’d get one….

DROID Pro is actually the DROID 2 GSM edition, LG enV Touch2 will run Android 2.1??

According to a very close source to Engadget, the DROID Pro is in fact the DROID 2, customized to have support for GSM SIM cards, and perhaps dual CDMA/GSM radios. The naming DROID Pro may not be final due to the fact that Verizon loves switching up names at the last minute (something I can actually confirm), so let’s let that rest.

On the flipside, the LG enV Touch 2 will be much like the enV Touch, but being bulky and having two screens, as well as Android 2.1.

So now here’s the 60k question: would you be disappointed if the DROID 2 were simply a SIM’d DROID 2, and not a Droid “pro”?

Unannounced ASUS Windows Phone 7 handset seen in Pakistan

There’s not much here to go by due to the small dimensions of the picture, but there is the mandated Back, Windows,and Search keys, brushed metal, and what looks like a front-facing camera or proximity sensor on the front. What makes this handset more interesting is that it resembles a field-testing unit, instead of the protoypes that ASUS and others like Samsung made simply to demo the Windows Phone 7 experience. More on this, if it develops!
