T-Mobile G-Slate and G2X dual-core smartphone
T-Mobile G-Slate and G2X dual-core smartphone - T-Mobile G-Slate and G2X dual-core smartphone coming on April 20th? A rumor out of Tmonews suggests the LG G-Slate tablet and the G2x smartphone will be available from T-Mobile starting April 20th. The wireless carrier is expected to make an announcement at CTIA to verify the launch dates of these two Android devices. This supposed date fits in nicely with the spring launch window before suggested by LG. Unfortunately; this early information does not include the pricing for either device.
LG, you big tease! T-Mobile must be feeling a tinge of regret for hooking up with the Korean hardware manufacturer lately, as TmoNews reports both the G-Slate tablet and a new G2X smartphone (believed to be the US moniker for the Optimus 2X) won't be coming Stateside for at least another month. Neither will be exactly late, mind you, since both feature dual-core Tegra 2 chips and the G-Slate runs Google's freshest Honeycomb software, however a launch date of April 20th does put LG a step behind its direct competitors. Motorola has already rolled out its own Xoom and Atrix alternatives, while Samsung is making noise about its new Galaxy devices, which might well beat LG's wares to the market. Rumor is we'll get an official date out of T-Mobile at CTIA next week, so keep your eyes peeled for that one.
It seems that LG has been postponing mobile carrier T-Mobile with a promise slate and a promised phone. As T-Mobile was hoping to sell the G-Slate and the G2X smartphonesas quickly as possible, LG has delayed the let go of these devices for at least another month. The G2X smartphone is supposed to be the equivalent of the US Optimus X2 but nobody is known for sure.
