As most of you will certainly remember, the T-Mobile G1 by HTC was the first-ever Android smartphone, so T-Mobile considered that it was about time to come up with a successor in the form of the G2, that pairs a large 3.7-inch screen with a unique hinge design opening to reveal a full QWERTY keyboard.

The G1 will certainly earn it a place in the history of technology, given the fact that it was the first-ever product to run Google's Android OS, now found in an array of devices, from smartphones to Internet tablets to smart HDTVs.

But now, the G2 takes that legacy and pushes it up to a whole new level, since it promises a powerful mobile data experience that is tightly integrated with Google Voice, as well as packed with Google applications such as Voice Actions from Google, Google Goggles and more.

In fact, it is one of the first smartphones in the industry to offer the new Voice Actions feature of Google Search, which allows you to control your phone with your voice for calling contacts and businesses, sending messages, browsing the Web, listening to music and completing common tasks.

Plus, it is also the first smartphone to offer integrated access to Google Voice, allowing customers to create a new account using their current mobile number right from the home screen.

The HTC G2 is built around a Snapdragon MSM7230 mobile processor which combines Qualcomm's new HSPA+ capabilities and second generation applications processor, offering an 800 MHz CPU and being optimized to deliver good performance, long battery life and advanced multimedia and web browsing.

Furthermore, the G2 delivers advanced smartphone features including an HD video camera for recording 720p videos and a 5-megapixel camera with LED flash and autofocus.

The G2 also offers easy access to personal and work e-mail, including support for Microsoft Exchange e-mail, contacts and calendar, social networking and instant messaging.

In addition, the G2 features a pre-installed 8GB microSD memory card with support for up to 32 GB, as well as a music player.

Plus, it comes with dedicated Quick Keys for one-touch access to favorite Google shortcuts and applications, as well as pinch and zoom functionality for Web browsing and photo gallery, built-in 3.5mm headphone jack, stereo headset and Bluetooth support, and Swype text input for fast, accurate communication.

The T-Mobile G2 with Google will be available in the U.S. exclusively from T-Mobile and will be up for preorder in limited quantities later this month, but pricing details have not been provided just yet, unfortunately.
