Google. Oprah. The two should really sit down for a cup of coffee sometime and talk billions. They actually have a lot in common, believe it or not. Oprah is more accustomed to giving out things like books and cars, but today, Google one upped the queen of daytime TV and gave out free Android-based G2 phones (aka HTC Magic). The recipients? Attendees of Google’s I/O developer conference. Rumor has it that the phone even comes with a SIM card with 30 days of talk and 3G access. Hey, it pays to be a fan of Google sometimes.

Leave it to the Boy Genius to get yet another exclusive mobile phone leak. This time around, it’s the T-Mobile G2! Except that, it’s not called the G2. In Europe, it’ll be known as the HTC Dream and Vodafone will be offering it to customers sometime this year.

What’s the Dream going to pack? For now, BGR speculates mostly standard stuff: 3.2-megapixel camera, WiFi, HSPA (for high speed 3G connectivity) and some other bullshit like the “Cupcake” version of the Android OS. Finally, there’s also speculation that the name could be changed to “Pioneer” from Dream. Kind of stupid sounding, don’t you think?

This leads us to assume that the G2 will feature a digital keyboard much like the iPhone. The device doesn’t look half-bad either. I’d say let’s give T-Mobile a month to announce the G2 before we go jumping to conclusions, no?

After the jump, another spy shot from the front.

I just got confirmation from my inside source at T-Mobile who says the device is indeed real and is coming soon. As for specs, he couldn’t confirm any of that with me but here’s what it’s supposed to feature:
