By James Bargengo

The pricing and release date of the T-Mobile G2 has finally been officially announced. The T-Mobile's latest Android phone, designed specifically to work with T-Mobile's HSPS+ network, is going to be available for on October 6th. All existing T-Mobile customers can pre-order the G2 on October 4th, and will be able to pick it up on the 6th. And for those who aren't part of the T-Mobile network, you can still pre-order it on Best Buy. The pre-orders at Best Buy started on September 10th. The price of the G2 is $200 with a contract. Without contract it will come to $500.

The G2 works on the android 2.2 platform and is powered by MSM7230 Snapdragon silicon with 800 MHz clock cycle. The G2 also includes a QWERTY keyboard. The phone also has Swype keyboard. This Android phone also features a beautiful, high resolution touchscreen, 5 mega-pixel camera with auto-focus, LED flash, HD video capability and Bluetooth connectivity. It has a 3.5 mm audio jack and ships with 8GB memory card. There is a microSD lot for additional memory. The screen features auto rotating feature which automatically shows your picture in landscape or portrait mode. The phone is expected to work with T-Mobile's high speed network, which T-Mobile says will deliver 4G speeds.

The T-Mobile G2 allows access to many Google applications, such as Gmail, Google maps, GTalk, Google search, calendar and YouTube. The web browser will be powered by Adobe flash player. It also allows voice actions from Google which allow you to control your phone with your voice. The GPS with navigation and capability and track pad for navigation are included.

The G2 accessories such as battery, charger, USB cable, stereo headset and memory card are included in the shipment. The battery that is included with the G2 phone is a 1300mAh, which gives you talk time of up to 6.5 hours and a stand by time of 17.5 days. If you are looking for batteries they are available from sites such as fommy.com. You could get Ventev's Lithium-Ion battery with 1700mAh which is compatible with T-Mobile G2. Other accessories such as Bluetooth head phones, stereo headphones and microSD memory cards are also available. There are both vertical and horizontal G2 cases such as Wilshire Smartphone Vertical Case, Washington Smartphone Vertical Case and Warrington Smartphone Horizontal Case, all from manufacturer Amzer.

If you want to pre-order your T-Mobile G2, you can do so at the T-Mobile website. All you have to do is register there. You could also go to your local Best Buy store and pre-order. The phone would require data plans to make full use of the web accessibility features. T-Mobile offers an unlimited web deal for the G2. Along with that you could take text, instant, picture and video messaging. You also have the option of selecting from any of the plus plans which T-Mobile offers. Of course, you need to agree to a 2 year contract or pay twice the amount, but the G2 Android is going to be worth it.
