Tomorrow is going to be a big day filled by HTC’s event and the launch of Internet Explorer 9 Beta (I’ll be present at the event at the Microsoft Campus). Even-though the G2 has already been announced a few days ago HTC has just posted the official specs sheet of the device today. The G2 will probably known as the Desire Z in Europe and Asia/Pacific so this will give you a pretty good idea of what you can expect from tomorrow event in London:

There’s no word on the screen technology being used. Unlike previous models HTC probably doesn’t want to communicate on this given the AMOLED shortage situation. My guess is that some handset models will either have an SLCD panel or AMOLED panel.
