You’ve probably heard that T-Mobile USA are running a teaser site for their mysterious upcoming Android smartphone - the G2. These are the first shots of the device and we gotta say that for something that was supposed to continue the revolution started by its predecessor, it does look quite dull.

T-Mobile breaks loose

Anyways, it could be the blurry pictures alright, so let’s not pass anymore judgment before we see some better shots.

Update: Some more pictures of the T-Mobile G2 are available. Note that the screen doesn’t tilt, what you see in the picture is a broken sliding mechanism.

Obviously the smartphone is simply the US version of the rumored HTC Vision, as was rumored before. We’ll keep our eyes and ears open for new details.

It’s been a few weeks since we last heard of the QWERTY-packing HTC Vision Android phone, but new rumors have surfaced. The latest gossip says the Vision is heading for T-Mobile and a potential market name.

We first encountered the HTC Vision back in May when it became clear that it will have a 480×800 pixels screen, which we later found out to be 3.7″ big. The other details that came up earlier this month name-dropped Android 2.1 Eclair running on a 1GHz CPU.

Now the new rumors peg the HTC Vision as a T-Mobile device, though they don’t specify which T-Mobile (T-Mobile USA? A European T-Mobile?). A clue is provided by a bit of old gossip - that the HTC Vision will hit the UK in October.

Anyway, the HTC Vision could (rumor has it) change its name to G1 Blaze - an allusion to the first Android phone to hit the market, the T-Mobile G1. For some reason HTC hasn’t produced many phones with Android and QWERTY since the G1.

As with anything you hear from rumor-land, this batch of rumors should be taken with a pinch of salt, there’s nothing official from HTC yet.

The Samsung I5800 Galaxy 3 was announced a good one month ago and apparently it is almost ready to start shipping across Germany. The Android-running phone is said to hit the German market by the end of this very month.

The recently announced Samsung I5800 Galaxy 3 paid us a short visit a little while ago. The device is based on the Android platform (Android OS v2.1 a.k.a. Eclair) and packs a 3.2″ capacitive touchscreen of WQVGA resolution.

Also on board there is a 3.2MP autofocus sharpshooter as well as support for Wi-Fi 802.11n, Bluetooth 3.0 and HSDPA. The phone features a GPS receiver and a microSD card slot ready to accommodate cards with up to 32GB of inbuilt memory.

The Galaxy 3 (which is a twin bro of the Galaxy Apollo i5801, which is already available in the UK) is among the few Android-powered smartphones with support for DivX/XviD video right out of the box.

The Samsung I5800 Galaxy 3 is said to start selling in Germany before the end of July for an estimated price of 300 euro.

Here’s they come, the Galaxy S phones. AT&T just announced pricing and target availability for their version, the Samsung i897 Captivate, and it will beat the T-Mobile version by a few days and will probably become the first Galaxy S to hit the US.

The Samsung i897 Captivate is going on sale next Sunday, July 18 and it will cost 199.99 US dollars on a two year contract. Looks aside, the Captivate is an exact duplicate of the Samsung I9000 Galaxy S (with AT&T 3G bands of course).

To summarize the specs, the Android-running Samsung Captivate has a 4″ WVGA SuperAMOLED touchscreen, 1GHz CPU and 5MP camera with 720p video recording.

The T-Mobile Galaxy S phone, the Samsung Vibrant is coming a few days later - July 21, again for 199.99 US dollars. And CDMA carriers are getting a Galaxy S too (like the Sprint Epic 4G which has a hardware QWERTY), though we don’t have the availability dates yet.
