MyTouch 4G Slide Review

The MyTouch 4G Slide is the latest in T-Mobile's line of consumer-friendly Android smartphones. Its predecessors have occupied a curious place in the Android ecosystem: decidedly focused on consumers yet sporting a set of features...

Great overall camera experience ; Well-built hardware ; Decent performance overall

Overdependence on the Genius button ; T-Mobile / HTC Sense skin feels overdone ; Screen is uninspiring

If you're a shutterbug or are not dogmatic about a pure Android experience, it might still be worth a look

T-Mobile myTouch 4G review

Coming hot on the heels of the ultra-impressive G2, T-Mobile has returned to its myTouch series with the myTouch 4G. While the G2 is the natural enthusiast flagship, the 4G represents a flagship in its own right of a skinned, curated Android...

myTouch 4G Review

T-Mobile took on Sprint's HTC EVO 4G in recent months with a 4G phone of their own, the QWERTY-toting G2, and taking advantage of the carrier's spreading HSPA+ network. Now comes the second part of that attack, the T-Mobile myTouch 4G, a full...

We’ll need to wait until the updated app to see if Qik video calls really are a killer feature for the myTouch 4G, but the smartphone’s HSPA+ connectivity is – if you’re in an area with T-Mobile 4G service – a significant improvement over regular 3G...

HTC myTouch 4G (T-Mobile) review by Taylor | PhoneDog

The T-Mobile myTouch 4G is the big brother in the myTouch series. It's larger, packs much better specs, and looks great while doing so. HTC stuck to their myTouch roots with the design and kept it looking like...

The T-Mobile myTouch 4G has a very friendly form factor and size; great battery life in comparison to other Android devices; very loud speaker; no lag; unobtrusive custom user interface that comes with a few different theme choices out-of-box; bright,...

The camera auto-focus has issues; hard to tell whether you're running on HSDPA or HSPA+; altered Sense UI may not appeal to all; trackpad is insensitive

HTC myTouch 4G Mobile Phone - Black

The price that I got it for after renewing my contract made it a simple choice of which phone to get. Fast, easy to use, 4g, and thin. Good deal. Also, I didn't have to wait for a mail in rebate when buying from Best Buy which sealed the deal.

HTC myTouch 4G Mobile Phone - Black

Good value for the sale price. Most of the base features are excellent. Ease of use is good but some operational steps are not written in the manual. You learn a lot from other users and trial & error. The 2 issues I have are: first the poor battery...

Sale prices are good & most features are excellent

Batt life and network video conferencing don't deliver as promised

HTC myTouch 4G Mobile Phone - Black

HTC myTouch 4G Mobile Phone - White

I bought this phone around xmas in 2010. It is a great phone. I liked the look and fell of this phone. Only thing I noticed was that it felt slippery in my hands. After I installed a plastic cover skin, this problem was gone. Apart from that I love it.
