T-Mobile G2 quietly discontinued, Z-Hinge's future remains unclear

We'd had some indication that the T-Mobile G2 was nearing end of life status, and it looks like that inevitable milestone has already come to pass.

According to TmoNews, the HTC-built device was officially discontinued by T-Mobile on June 6th, no doubt in an effort to make a bit a bit of room

in the carrier's QWERTY slider lineup for the likes of the MyTouch 4G Slide. Of course, existing G2 users do still have some good news

to look forward to -- namely, a Gingerbread upgrade that should breath a bit of new life into their crazy-hinged handset.
