[android-developers] Re: This bug is costing us money every month
They didn't wake up 2 weeks ago and say "hey, I know, lets call the hero the
g2!"
That device (and that name, or a variant thereof) has been around since at
least the release of the g1, if not earlier. The fact that everyone decided
every android phone was the g-something is irrelevant. (Hey, I have android
on an old kaiser - is it the g0?)
They tried multiple names for the touch, but you'll note that none of them
was anything like 'g2'...

calling it G2.
- no I never said that it makes it the correct name.
- I said that "it" will cause confusion, I did not blame TMobile
though anyway I might have, not a big deal. They decided of a name
after this "G2" name was already ("incorrectly") used quite a lot.
Just confusing.
And this comes after they investigated about several names for the
myTouch 3G... can't say they did not think about the matter !
Good luck for users looking for help for their mobile and googling "G2" .
Try to google even for "Tmobile G2"... only gets better with "TMobile G2 Touch"

It even has built in roaming protection mechanisms. You can read more about it at http://www.gearsoft.mobi/wisyncplus.html The added advantage of the application is you can schedule when and how often you want to synchronize, if at all, or even push it all to WIFI, as available. Plus, most users discover drastic power savings with the application. Many claim two to three days between charges. If it saves you from one accidental billing, you've paid for the application and likely money ahead. --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.

G2 is how the HTC Magic (Sapphire / Ion / mytouch 3g) have often been called (and still is), since the beginning (about may, 5th in UK, france,...) No matter this is not its real name TMobile selling another phone named G2 is going to cause a LOT of such confusion in forums :-( --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.

How can you know? He could have had another Android phone prior to the G2. @Op. You could as a workaround use an application like APNDroid, but the bug should be fixed.
