Supposed leaked Android G2 shots reveal no keyboard
VentureBeat — ... . But the bigger picture is that physical keyboards, as much as some hate to admit it, are going to be a thing of the past in the not too distant future. Don’t believe me? Look at the newly leaked shots of the G2, HTC’s follow-up to the G1, which Gizmodo got a hold of today. ...

HTC Sapphire, T-Mobile’s G2, spotted in the wild
Android Authority — The guys over at Gizmodo have scored what appear to be the first live pics of the yet-to-be-announced HTC Sapphire, the device that is likely to be sold as the T-Mobile G2. The Sapphire is slimmer than the Dream/G1 due largely to the lack of a slide-out QWERTY keyboard.  Otherwise, the devices look somewhat similar, except that the Sapphire’s “chin” is a bit curvier than the one found on the T-Mobile G1. We’ve only got two pics at this point, and they are a little blurry, but you can still get a reasonable idea as to what the G2 will look like.  Oh yeah, Gizmodo’s source said ...

Want To See What The Next Android Phone From HTC May Look Like?
InformationWeek - All Stories And Blogs — ... all in a lather about who's going to get one to market first. With barely a rumor to sate our thirst for Android exclusives, CES was a bitter disappointment. No new phones were announced during the biggest gadget trade show in North America. Now, however, we have some juicy spy shots to look at. The images show a phone -- the G2? -- that looks very similar to the HTC G1, but has major differences. First and foremost, the slide-out QWERTY keyboard is gone. As a result, the phone is much thinner than the G1, which is definitely a good thing. It keeps the track ball below the ...

Word is we’ll see this new variation in the not too distant future as Gizmodo says it will be stateside in the spring.  We’ll know soon enough if this true.
