HTC Sapphire 2 is the Android T-Mobile G2? Could it be?

So this morning there’s a new buzz over at the internet along with the leaked picture of the HTC Sapphire 2.0. Many people said that we might have seen the successor of the T-mobile G1; the Android T-mobile G2.

So from the design, we can see that there’s a track ball found in the T-Mobile G1 in the HTC Sapphire. What’s interesting is that we can’t see any visible keyboard in the “T-Mobile G2″, based on the picture. Physical aspects of the HTC Sapphire is pretty much aesthetically more pleasing version of the T-Mobile G1. There’s also a button that looks like the G1’s myFaves button in the lower-left corner of the device. So yes, from the design aspect we agree that the HTC sapphire is the strongest candidate for T-Mobile G2 to date.

There are some good reasons for the rumor saying that HTC Sapphire 2.0 is the next T-Mobile Android G2. So the first reason people talk about the HTC Sapphire as the ‘T-Mobile G2′ is the TMO News’ information and pics. They’ve indicated that the Sapphire might be the G2. The last reason I propose is the suspicious “2.0′”, all of us would’ve think that it is the sign of the Sapphire role as the successor of T-Mobile G1.

Buzzes over at the internet saying that if the HTC Sapphire really is the G2, then we will see the new version of Android that support virtual keyboard inputs (Cupcake). Interestingly, the Android OS Cupcake development branch is expected to release their on-screen, virtual keyboard for the Android OS this month. And, previously leaked documents hint at T-Mobile launching their T-Mobile G2 as soon as January 26. Could we see Cupcake going live in early January and leading up to the HTC Sapphire 2.0’s introduction as the T-Mobile G2 in late January? The timing seems too good to be coincidence, doesn’t it?

However, it’s just a speculation/rumor about the G2. But rest assured that you will hear more from us
