T-Mobile G2 by HTC Quadrant Standard Benchmark Test
T-Mobile G2 by HTC Quadrant Standard Benchmark Test
T-Mobile Cell Site Now Powered by the Sun
T-Mobile is hoping the sun is shining down on one of its cell towers in Chalfont, Penn. That�s because the gear is T-Mobile�s first solar-powered cell site in the U.S., and enables T-Mobile to tap into the sun to power a selection of gear that provides wireless broadband services.
T-Mobile didn�t give more details on how much power the 12 solar panels attached to the site would generate, only saying the power was enough to take the cell site off-the-grid and then �at times� feed power back into the grid. T-Mobile can use the cell site for lowering its carbon footprint (and green marketing) as well as potentially saving on its energy bill, but savings on electricity costs via solar often times have a long pay back period. Solar can also be used as a backup power source for cells if power grid blackouts occur.
The T-Mobile solar-powered cell is somewhat unusual in that it wasn�t built in a developing country. Phone companies most often turn to solar-powered cells in countries like India, and parts of Africa, where the sites can be few and far between, and phone companies want to use solar to replace or augment diesel-powered back up generators (see our report How Mobile Networks Can Cut Carbon, GigaOM Pro, subscription required). According to Pike Research, 4.5 percent of the world�s cellular base stations will run off of solar and wind by 2014, up from 0.11 percent in 2010.
In certain developing regions, solar-powered base stations can be economical. Phone companies are increasingly factoring in diesel fuel costs over the life of the system compared to the free fuel that is solar. Mobile operators are also taking into account potential carbon legislation (that makes carbon-based power more expensive), as well as the likelihood that the cost of clean power will drop in the future. Connecting into the grid can also be quite expensive in certain regions: for example, it�s $8,000 per kilometer to connect into the grid in rural Namibia, according to Kuwait-based Mobile Telecommunications Co.
Chalfont is a small, several-thousand-person community, but well developed, so those typical developing-world economics aren�t likely at play for the U.S. solar cell site. Solar-powered cell sites generally cost two to three times more than grid power in many regions, according to the GigaOM Pro report. My guess is this first tower is mostly a way to test the technology and use it as a marketing tool. Phone companies have boosted their green efforts in recent months as a way to cut costs, and get some good PR.
But as we note in our How Mobile Networks Can Cut Carbon report: �the first, and most effective, strategy for reducing energy consumption in mobile networks is to improve the energy efficiency of network infrastructure equipment itself.� Base stations actually make up 70-to-80 percent of the energy consumption from cellular networks, so it�s really important to reduce their overall power draw, instead of just switching them over to clean power. Pike Research says that clean power technology, like solar and wind and fuel cells, combined with energy efficiency, could reduce the carbon emissions due to mobile infrastructure in 2013 by at least 101 million tons of carbon dioxide equivalent (MtCO2e), a decrease of 42 percent from business-as-usual trendlines.

In the network appeared the official images of [smartfona] T -Mobile G2 (HTC Of vision). We already wrote in the news about this device, were published its photographs. T -Mobile G2 will become the first model of this American operator with the support of new high-speed honeycomb networks HSPA+. In Europe the analog of this model will also leave by the name HTC Of desire Z. according to preliminary data, this [smartfon] in the form factor of slider with 3,7- one inch AMOLED-[tachskrinom] and QWERTY- keyboard. It works under the administration Of android (probably, version 2.2), it is not clear, is accompanied basic OS by the interface HTC Of sense.

T-Mobile G2 to Pack Android 2.2 Froyo, Qualcomm "Scorpion" CPU
Unfortunately this Scorpion doesn't pack much sting
If you're determined to get an Android slider on T-Mobile, then perhaps the upcoming T-Mobile G2 is the phone for you. However, its specs may change your mind.
The company's insider newsletter T-Mobile Scoop reveals that the HTC Vision, aka the T-Mobile G2, will be using an 800 MHz MSM7x30 chip. That chip uses the Qualcomm's Scorpion ARM CPU, also found in the 1 GHz Snapdragon.
The lower clock speed seems like a bit of a blow. But when you factor in that the 1 GHz Snapdragon crunched approximately 2.5 times less frames than the Samsung 1 GHz Hummingbird (a Cortex A8) in the GLSBenchmark, it appears even worse, given that the CPU core appears to have certain design shortcomings in the first place.
The good news is that the slower CPU will at least be somewhat offset by the operating system; the G2 will run Android 2.2 "Froyo" (which notably comes packing Flash 10.1). As we previously discussed, Froyo brings a Just-in-Time Java compiler to the table, which allows Android applications to run up to five times faster. Thus even this slow CPU may be capable of some decent performance.
Reportedly HTC isn't going to lay the Sense UI on top of this particular Froyo build. That should offer better performance, and either improved or deteriorated usability, depending on your perspective on HTC Sense. T-Mobile does brag that the phone will include "one-touch quick keys" to quickly access key functions.
The G2 has a couple of key advantages -- namely, that it has a physical keyboard, it's T-Mobile's first HSPA+ phone, and that it's on one of the most appealing networks in terms of contractual obligations and price. However, in the face of phones like the Epic 4G and HTC EVO 4G -- also on a well-priced network -- the G2 faces some stiff competition.

The G2 has a couple of key advantages -- namely, that it has a physical keyboard, it's T-Mobile's first HSPA+ phone, and that it's on one of the most appealing networks in terms of contractual obligations and price. However, in the face of phones like the Epic 4G and HTC EVO 4G -- also on a well-priced network -- the G2 faces some stiff competition.
