In advance of next week’s Mobile World Congress in Barcelona, French mobile carrier SFR – owned by Vivendi and Vodafone – confirmed that it will ship Google’s next generation smartphone next month.

The white and thinner G2 – also built by Taiwanese-maker HTC – will also be sold in the U.K. by Vodafone; and unlike Google’s G1 that includes a sliding keyboard, the G2 will only have a virtual keyboard.

However, the latest Android phone will still not support multi-touch, although the hardware can absolutely handle it, probably in fear of infringing on Apple’s multi-touch technology patent; a technology it acquired when it bought the assets of FingerWorks.

Aside from the iPhone 3G, the LG KF900 Prada 2 smartphone is the only other touchscreen phone with multi-touch capabilities; at least until the Palm Pre launches next month.
