14 DAY TRIAL // According to the latest news on the Web, T-Mobile UK is expected to announce in the near future a new Android-powered mobile phone, which seems to have been named G1 Touch. This should be the second handset the company releases into the wild with Google's operating system, following the T-Mobile G1 (HTC Dream), which went live last year.
For the time being there are no exact details in regard to the new device, though it might be the same handset that T-Mobile USA has been rumored to launch under the name of myTouch 3G, which is the second Android mobile phone HTC developed, namely the HTC Magic. On the other hand, some voices also suggest that this might be a different device, and that it might come from a different maker as well.
According to Tweakers.net, the T-Mobile G1 Touch might be the HTC Hero, another Android handset from the Taiwanese company, which has been recently spotted into the wild running Android. The theory is also sustained by the fact that the HTC Magic is already available in Europe, via the wireless carrier Vodafone.
The specification list of the HTC Hero is still a mystery, though earlier reports pointed towards the fact that the device might come to the market sporting various color schemes. Even so, more details on it should surface next week, as HTC was already reported to prepare a press event in London on June 24, and it might officially introduce the phone then.
The fact that the G1 Touch is coming to the market is almost a certain fact, as the screenshots with T-Mobile and HTC's roadmaps show, yet it remains to be seen whether the phone will be the same myTouch 3G (aka HTC Magic) as the one expected to be launched in the US, or the recently spotted and almost unknown HTC Hero.
