T-Mobile Mytouch 3G

The T-Mobile MyTouch 3G is T-Mobile's second smartphone running Google's Android mobile operating system. And while the MyTouch 3G ($200 as of July 22, 2009) has much going for it-- a lightweight design, a gorgeous screen, and the 1.5 update to the...

Lightweight, compact design ; Gorgeous display

No physical keyboard

On the whole, I found a lot to about the T-Mobile myTouch 3G. I especially appreciated its size and its easy-to-use trackball, yet I can't help but lament its lack of a physical keyboard. The native software keyboard just doesn't cut it for long...

T-Mobile MyTouch 3G review

Editors' note: Portions of this section are taken from our review of the Google Ion/HTC Magic , to which the MyTouch 3G is almost identical. We lowered the rating of this product on October 14, 2009, to reflect new Android handset releases.

The T-Mobile MyTouch 3G has a sleek, attractive design with a gorgeous display, tactile controls, and an easy-to-use, customizable interface. Stereo Bluetooth and Outlook e-mail syncing are standard features, and call and data performance are excellent.

The T-Mobile MyTouch 3G lacks important features like a standard 3.5-millimeter headset jack, a file manager, and camera-editing options. Video quality is uneven, and the HTML browser interface and virtual keyboard have their flaws. Also, it doesn't...

With the T-Mobile MyTouch 3G, the Google Android OS gets a much-needed boost. A few complaints remain, and some users may bemoan the lack of a physical keyboard, but we approve of its eye-catching design and interface, improved features, and satisfying...

Expert review by (consumersearch.com)

T-Mobile's myTouch 3G most flexible among top smartphones

Mostly solid reviews for the next-gen Google phone

Lightweight design, easily customized user interface, runs multiple applications simultaneously, app store offers more than 6,000 apps, syncs with Outlook Exchange email

No syncing with Outlook calendar or contacts, can only save apps to microSD card, average reception and call quality, read-only attachments, mediocre media playback

Review: T-Mobile myTouch 3G

T-Mobile and HTC have teamed up to offer the second Android phone in the U.S., the myTouch 3G with Google. It is leaps and bounds better than the G1, but still has a number of limitations.

Review: T-Mobile myTouch 3G

PC World's Melissa J. Perenson looks at the T-Mobile myTouch 3G, the second T-Mobile smartphone to run Google's Android operating system. And while this iPhone competitor has a lot going for it, it's not without its flaws.

Lightweight, compact design; gorgeous display; onscreen keyboard offers haptic feedback vibration; integrated universal search works on the Web or within individual apps; easy-to-use trackball

Prone to showing fingerprints; must use HTC's proprietary headphones; onscreen keyboard difficult to type on; some sluggish performance when using the OS; Google Voice Search lacks accuracy

Other design touches I appreciated were the well-cut, light-up navigation buttons beneath the screen (Home, Menu, back, and search—a new addition) and the deep well that surrounds the smooth navigation trackball. Also, the volume rocker is longer and...

T-Mobile myTouch 3G

Just in case you aren't familiar with the HTC Magic, we can tell you that it is an Android handset with a 3.2" 320 x 480 pixel display, 3.5G support, WiFi, GPS and a 3 megapixel camera with autofocus.

T-Mobile MyTouch 3G Review

See Google Ion Review.

A theming app for your Android. It has the ability to add small widgets like an RSS reader and a notepad onto your desktop. The FreshFace desktop pretty much takes over your real desktop, which is good, because FreshFace offers five pages of apps...
