With the first Android handset, the T-Mobile G1 now readily available across the United States and te United Kingdom, fans of the Android platform who weren’t especially impressed with the G1 have begun to look towards it’s predecessor – the Android G2.
There’s a lot of speculation about the T-Mobile G2 – will there even be on? What hardware improvements will it have? Will it have a headphone jack and a flash?
If you’re a little intrigued about the next iteration of the Android platform, and would like to add your suggestions for what you’d like to see in the next G series Android phone, check out this Android website for more infomation:

I like the idea of a new company getting into the OS market, actually I’d like them to create one for PC’s as well and kick MS and Apple to hell. Their stuff is old and we need a breath of fresh air. New stuff that actually works and is more fun.
Until Google comes out with their own mail server and programs, for now it needs exchange support and blackberry support for it to be useful to many people. To be able to work with MS documents, Word, Excel and so on would be great as well.
But only until google created their own stuff and we can get a rid of this old stuff.

I’ve been a t-mobile customer for 12 years. I wanted to get the G1 SOOOO bad cause I refuse to buy an iPhone and the blackberry storm looks like a clunker. But here’s why I’m going to stick with my BB pearl in the mean time.
1) The G1 looks like crap. The Razr sold well not because it was a great phone, but because it looked cool. That’s also a huge reason the iPhone does so well. Let’s face it, phones have become fashion accessories, and although I’m definately a jeans and t-shirt kinda guy, even *I* want to carry a phone that looks cool!
2) Where is the heaphone jack? Oh you mean I have to go find that little adaptor thingy to listen to music? Well I think I left it at home, it’s probably sitting on my desk. Or, more likely, it’s sitting in a pile somewhere with all the other adaptors I never use cause adaptors SUCK! Spend another $.12 to add a headphone jack!
3) My old Nokia that came FREE with my T-Mobile plan in 2005 could record video, WITH SOUND. Sure the resolution and sound quality was crap and it didn’t record very long, but it was there. Maybe I’m not hip to all the technical hurdles with adding video capture capabilities to a phone, but it seems like this should be easy.
4) Did I mention the G1 is really frikkin ugly?
5) Keep the trackball! Keep the slide-out keyboard!
6) Seriously….I’m not kidding…..the G1 looks like it fell out of the ugly tree and hit every stick on the way down!
Evan!
