T-Mobile�s got a not-so-secret event planned for April 21

T-Mobile's got a not-so-secret event planned for April 21Calling all T-Mobile G1 Fanboys, time to get excited.  It looks like T-Mobile has been sending out invitations to a private launch event taking place on April 21, a little bit less than 3 weeks from now, in the Big Apple. 



Unfortunately, T-Mobile has not released any details as to what they will be announcing, but you may recall that their last big event was to announce the T-Mobile G1, the first phone running Google’s Android platform.  The G1 has done fairly well, so there is good reason to suspect T-Mobile to announce a G2, perhaps, or even another Google Android phone.  One phone that is likely to be a focus of T-Mobile at the event could be the HTC Magic, a phone that was recently made available in the UK. 



Rumor has it that the Magic will be made available by T-Mobile, under the name G2, as opposed to Magic.  While it bears differences from the G1, such as lacking a physical keyboard, it does present an alternative to people who want to experience Android, but not with the G1.  The G1 originally sold for $179, but I imagine the next T-Mobile Android phone to sell for even less than that as a method to persuade on-the-fence potential customers to pick up a G2. 



Of course, only time will tell what T-Mobile has in store for us, but with the Palm Pre supposedly to be available soon, T-Mobile will want to glamorize their new phone.
