HTC G1 v2 Android Device revealed - Codenamed T-Mobile Bigfoot. We like it

T-Mobile Android Lineup 2009

Need we say more? This new screenshot shows us the Samsung Houdini, previously exposed by CellPhoneSignal. But what is new, is that nice round beauty we see at the top, labeled the G1 v2. We have nothing more then a picture of a round device, sporting a round, slideout QWERTY keyboard. Being released sometime in fall, the G1 v2 (great name huh?) will be next in T-Mobile's line of Android handsets. Notice in the bottom row, 3G transitioning to all Markets? Oh, and those nice little black boxes in the last column really have us wondering what T-Mobile has in store for us during this upcoming Holiday season. Keep your ears open, and your browsers on TmoToday for all the T-Mobile news you could want, and more! Head over to our forums to discuss this! Registered forums members will get the first look at some of the new devices we will be showing in the future!

Any ideas what MFG the 'Bigfoot' is coming from? It looks 'kinda' like the HTC Memphis that we saw in the leaked roadmap, but not really... Shock

While we have reaosn to believe this device is coming from HTC, there has been nothing to indicate that it is the Memphis of the leaked roadmap.

Head over to our forums to discuss it though; it might be a good idea to register in our forums, since certain pics in the future will only be available to registered users. Oh, and registering is FREE!

11/4/09 is waaaaay too far for TmoJoe's device.... that's a bummer.

I can only hope this means another carrier is releasing it...
Also, it's kind of disappointing the Yulong (Android Tegra 1) won't be released by T-mobile...

I posted the same thing in the HTC forum on this site. I agree that it will be the Memphis.

The G1 v2, I'm not too sure that I'm digging the oval shape there. It reminds me a lot of the OpenMoko design, which just doesn't do it for me.

I think I'll wait to see what else is behind those boxes. Wink

Yea me either. I wish HTC would create a better design for the "G" series. Maybe something like the Touch Pro 2's design.

A poster over on Engadget pointed out something interesting. The G1 v2 looks VERY similar to a phone that appeared on the Samsung roadmap back in March. Check it out (Bottom right corner):

It looks awfully like the phone in the bottom right of that Engadget screenshot. Could it be??

Nice find though, and exciting screen shots!

Keep in mind these are only Android devices, and this could definitely be an old screenshot, meaning that some have been delayed, canceled, added, or moved up. But for now, lets go ahead and assume it was fairly accurate.

I look forward to the final column being revealed...I'm sure we're getting some great devices for the Holidays!

i have seen the final column, and in my opinion it will be worth the wait. I'll admit though, the G1v2 does slightly resemble the ocean 2.

the houdini kinda looks like the device in the bottom left hand corner here or the one on the very top of that row: http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2009/03/18/leaked-slide-reveals-samsung-go...

So, is the Houdini the I7500 or not? And if it is not, will T-Mo USA get the I7500? Or is the I7500 in that last column?

It seems a bit curious that the I7500 was just announced, and it is T-Mo "ready", but we get this new mystery phone instead. Hmmm...

Oh, and the Huawei is in that last column, right? Right?!?

Man, the suspense is killing me!!!

I really want the "HTC Sapphire" "HTC Magic" or as of lately the "Mytouch 3G", but i don't know how much longer i can wait. I don't think it's going to come out in May due to the sidekick lx launched and i don't think they want to over shadow either of the 2 so my guess is it will come out in June....please say yes you are absolutely right!

That is a most intriguing find!

Man, and here I had thought that I had it all figured out as far as what my next phone was going to be (it was leaning in the WinMo 6.5 direction Wink) but with even just this Android roadmap it makes things interesting.

T-Mobile: the "let's not make life easy for you" company!
