The T-Mobile G2 is a top-of-the-line successor to the original Android phone. Even with great specs, is the basic Android design enough to satisfy?

Is It Your Type?

Android has seen precious few QWERTY phones since it launched with the T-Mobile G1 two years ago. HTC's new G2 slider satisfies that need with impressive hardware and a relatively pure Android build. Will this satisfy superphone fans and newcomers alike?

Real World Speeds

Are you sure you just weren't on HSDPA 7.2? 5.6 Mbps is a cakewalk for my iPhone 4 on AT&T's network in Charlotte, and getting 2.8-3Mbps is pretty much the norm

Philip Berne

Yup, positive. I compare against a Nexus One on T-Mo. The G2 was consistently faster. You must have great HSDPA coverage in Charlotte.
