With the drive towards constant one-upmanship in the gadget arena seemingly unstoppable these days, we shouldn't be shocked that specs for an Android phone to replace the G1 seem to have leaked, but we really are.
The so-called G2 is being touted as another T-Mobile handset in the US, where the gossip seems to originate, and looks to be pinned on for an April launch.
Slight upgrade
The Boy Genius Report website says the key difference will be the absence of a physical keyboard, with the virtual variety on the touchscreen covering those bases.
Otherwise, the G2 looks like a tweaked G1, with the same trackball and –presumably – much of the same software, since that's the point of the Android device, after all.
If all that isn't overkill enough for you, then read on and we'll tell you all about the G3. Wait, on second thoughts…

2. I think we should all get used to not having physical keypads or slide out keyboards on our phones.
The days when touch screens were the preserve of expensive flagship models are fast disappearing, with Nokia adopting them manufacturing costs will soon drop well below the cost of making a mechanical device like a keypad.

1. I love my G1, don't understand why so much is made of its design; it's outstanding. The absence of the keyboard will in the G2 will make the screen crowded; it's great to have a real keyboard tucked away.
