It looks like T-Mobile has just unveiled something pretty interesting. Yes, they officially announced the T-Mobile G2x but the good news here is that this smartphone is actually their first phone that will take advantage of their new 42Mbps (4G) HSPA+ network. Unfortunately, the price and release date is still unknown but it'll be "later this Spring". You should have already heard about this smartphone by now because the specs have been known for a while.

It features a 4-inch WVGA display, 8GB of internal storage, a microSD card slot, WiFi b/g/n / Bluetooth 2.1 support, an 8MP AF camera with an LED flash and 1080p HD video recording, a 1.3MP front-facing camera, a dual-core 1GHz Tegra 2 CPU, and Android 2.2 with the company's custom UI. Pretty powerful indeed!

In the US you'll be able to pick one up at AT&T, Best Buy, Office Depot, RadioShack, Sprint, and even Staples. This will be available on April 19th so mark it down on your calendar if you're interested in a 7-inch tablet.

Update: If you live in Canada then Mobile Syrup has your back. They have just mentioned that Future Shop and Best Buy are actually now taking pre-orders for the tablet as well!
