T-Mobile Thursday announced the G2, its HTC produced successor to the first Android-powered phone, the G1. PC Mag calls T-Mobile's device, "the first phone designed for its high-speed HSPA+ network and possibly the Googliest phone ever."

The G2 has a mini slide-out keyboard and comes equipped with Google Voice built in and the ability to convert the user's current mobile number to Google Voice. But the draw is the high-speed connectivity. "As the first HSPA+ phone, the G2 can download at speeds of up to 14.4 megabits per sec on T-Mobile's network. That's double the speed of T-Mobile's and AT&T's fastest previous phones, which operated at 7.2 Mbps -- but it still doesn't reach the maximum speed of T-Mobile's network, which runs at theoretical speeds of up to 21 Mbps," reports PC Mag.
