T-Mobile HTC MyTouch Review
Finally, the second android phone for the U.S.! T-Mobile has announced that the HTC MyTouch will be available for sale July 8th for existing T-Mobile customers and early August new T-Mobile customers. The price will be $199 with a 2 year contract. Thanks to Uncle Google, I was given this phone phone about 3 weeks ago when I attended the google android developer conference. Since I’ve been using this phone for a few weeks I figured I’d share my first hand experience.
+ I love the size! Finally I don’t have to haul around my giant G1 anymore! It’s just a tad bigger than my Blackberry pearl.
+ The camera takes great pics (in terms of camera phones…)! Here’s a couple pics I’ve taken.
+ Not having a physical keyboard takes getting used too… but I’m finally figuring it out. I will say this though, I’m a heck of a lot faster typing with my G1 than I am with the MyTouch. I think the Samsung Bigfoot is going to be a big hit with it’s physical keyboard and relatively small design. I think Motorola has a few full keyboard phones that will be big hits as well.
+ Cons ~ still no 3.5 mm jack. Uhg. I have a 4gb SD card installed with lots of great tunes on it but if I want to hook it up to aux input in my truck I have to used the mini USB adaptor.
In conclusion, if you want an android phone but are looking for something smaller than the G1, I highly recommend the HTC MyTouch 3G. Great phone at a great price with all the outstanding android features (GPS, internet, accelerometer, frequent firmware updates, phennominal apps {a2b, Key Ring just to name a couple :) } ) If you have any questions, post em up! Also, if you have the MyTouch, what are your thoughts?
