Looks good. It's still a no buy for me however. From here on out I'm only buying phones that ship with stock android. I refuse to support any custom UI phone.
 
Fake. America's largest 4G Network? HSPA+ isn't even 4G, it's beefed-up 3G. Dimensions and Weight are blank. Spontaneous HD connections? 1 GHz dual processor? Connect with family and friend? Come on. The grammar is terrible. Image/text qualities are all over the place. Clearly a rushed Photoshop job.
 
They beat out the iPhone with video conferencing over 3G, iPhone 4 is only on Wifi. Very good choice on T-Mobiles part.

Some of the grammar caught my eye too, but they're the kind that I can see a marketing department using, especially in what's (at least supposed to look like) an early draft of a press release. HSPA+ just being "beefed-up 3G" is irrelevant. It's potentially much faster than Sprint's 4G, but "HSPA+" isn't a familiar designation, so I can see T-Mobile referring to it as "4G" so the typical consumer will understand what it means.

True. But T-Mobile has always used the term "4G Speeds" when describing HSPA+, as is evident on this page: Get Fast 3G Network Coverage with HSPA+
Plus, I highly doubt T-Mobile would claim to be America's largest 4G network, largely because of the reason above, but also because that might get Sprint a bit angry (unless the rumors are true that Sprint and T-Mobile are collaborating to expand 4G coverage).

Regardless, based on the rumors, this phone is looking awesome. If it does end up sporting a 1GHz Dual-Core Processor, it would probably beat the G2 in my eyes.
