Spotted at one of the stores in VirraMall earlier today is the newly released T-Mobile G2. Released early this month in the US, under T-Mobile the G2 is the successor to the first Google G1 Android Phone back in 2008.

This is also the same model as the HTC Desire Z to be launched in the Philippines next month.

@Drey Yup! Thanks! but I’m waiting for the actual desire Z that HTC Philippines is bringing in, not this T-Mobile version. As in with the HTC warranty and everything.

I just caught a glimpse of the Desire HD and HTC Mozart phones at an HTC exclusive event in Makati tonight. :D No details were given, though it was hinted both are coming really soon.
