T-Mobile G2 Photo Leak
HTC's next Android phone for T-Mobile may more directly compete against its rivals from Apple and RIM, a photo leak shows. Gizmodo has obtained shots it believes may be of the G2 that reveal a much slimmer, rounded design that drops the sliding QWERTY keyboard but keeps a 3.2-megapixel camera, a directional pad and hardware buttons. Typing will instead hinge on a virtual keyboard update Google plans to release for Android this year.
Little else is revealed about the supposed handset, though HTC and T-Mobile are mentioned in the rumor lining up a release for mid-May. Neither of the involved companies has discussed plans for a G2, though HTC has publicly set out an April target for a second Android-based model. A T-Mobile release would have to have 1,700MHz 3G for the American network and is likely to share the same GPS and Wi-Fi features of the G1.

How about??
How about fixing the things that are wrong with the G1 before bringing out another beta phone?
The meager implementation of Bluetooth in the G1 renders it almost worthless while driving.
And this new thing is just butt-ugly. Who's doing their design work...Microsoft?
