After spending two weeks with the T-Mobile G2, I have a new favorite Android phone. It beats out the Motorola Droid X as my favorite Android phone of 2010 (by a really slim margin). I love the HSPA+ Internet speeds, form factor, zippy CPU/GPU, and vanilla-ish Android. I love that it will be getting WiFi calling and tethering in the near future. That said, it’s not perfect. I wish it had a bigger screen and noise-canceling microphones. Since I’m a Swype guy, the G2’s quality keyboard is wasted on me. I’d also trade the optical trackpad in favor of larger capacitive buttons. Those complaints aside, the T-Mobile G2 would be my first choice if I were buying an Android phone today.

As always, please let me know if I didn’t cover any aspects of the phone you want more info on. I’ll try to answer your questions in the comments section.

I might wait until the MyTouch HD comes out to see if it drops the price of the G2, but the front facing camera is kind of hard to pass on. I'll wait for the not a review of the MyTouch HD just to make sure.
