T-Mobile market testing terrible names for the HTC Magic / Sapphire

Filed under: Handsets, HTC, T-Mobile


We’re not sure why T-Mobile would be market-testing names other than “G2″ for its upcoming HTC Sapphire, but it apparently is — and if these leaked slides are to be believed, it’s not doing so well on the ideas front. Seriously: “T-Mobile Genius 3G with Google” and “Prism 3G with Google” both trade in the well-known G-series branding for banal anonymity, and “myTouch 3G with Google” just sounds like a skin disease that’s gone from bad to worse. Interestingly, “T-Mobile G3″ is also on the list, which makes us wonder if there’s a less-drastic G2 model in the works, but that’s pure speculation on our part — what we do know is that we’d take Vodafone’s Magic branding over any of these other sad options in a heartbeat.
