The official word has been spoken with regard the T-Mobile G2X. LG's dual-core, pure Android handset will be hitting T-Mo's online outlet on April 15th for $200, and the same price will also apply in stores when it lands on April 20th. There's a pesky $50 mail-in rebate to negotiate your way around, but after that you're looking at one of the finest and smoothest Android experiences we've laid our hands on yet. Update: The Sidekick 4G has also received its date with T-Mobile destiny: April 20th for $100 on contract. @TMobile (Twitter)

We already knew that T-Mobile's dual-core G2x won't be arriving for another week, but it looks like some cheeky monkey managed to nab one early and promptly put it up on eBay. While the seller hasn't posted photos of the actual handset, all the signs suggest that at least this sealed box is legit, especially the label on the back. If you're willing to take the risk, then this Tegra 2 Froyo Android could be yours early for a cool $799, or maybe a bit less if you could work your magic on that "Make Offer" button. Update: And it's gone. Looks like someone really wanted this phone. PhoneArena eBay
