Contrary to yesterday’s bogus specifications T-mobile has now officially confirmed that the T-mobile G2 aka HTC Desire Z features the new Qualcomm MSM7×30 chipset clocked at 800Mhz (with the new Adreno 205 GPU inside). As I said a few days ago, it will be intesrting to see if HTC uses this SoC or if it will stick with the more convetional QSD8×50 (or even jumped directly to the QSD8×50A) for it’s first batch of Windows Phone 7 devices.

Brace yourself for blazing-fast downloads, browsing, and search. Stop waiting around for Web pages to load and open up the throttle on the 800 MHz Scorpion processor.
