T-Mobile continues to switch between its girlfriends. On the right we have Yahoo! with the T-Mobile Web N Walk experience and on the left we have Google with a device strategy.
Anyway, as a follow up to the ugly G1 the T-Mobile myTouch 3G has been announced.
Highlights
myTouch allows instant customisation of menus, wallpapers, icons and anything Android.
It comes in 3 colours – black, white and merlot.
It is integrated with Google and is embedded with applications such as Sherpa – a unique interest evaluation engine. Basically it offers instant personalisation based on the persons likes and dislikes.
From the press release:
Designed by HTC, myTouch features a 3.2-inch HVGA touch-screen display and virtual keyboard, which orients automatically from portrait to landscape mode in most applications. It also features a 3.2-megapixel camera, a music player with a pre-installed 4GB microSD memory card, and enhanced video capabilities to make it easy for users to record and share pictures and videos, whether via e-mail, MMS or one-click upload to sites such as YouTube™ and Picasa™. The device’s powerful mobile Web experience is supported by fast data speeds via Wi-Fi and T-Mobile’s 3G network.
myTouch features multitasking capabilities and one-touch access to the Google services that millions use every day including Google Search™ by voice, Google Maps™ with Street View, YouTube™ and Picasa™. It also provides easy access to both personal and corporate e-mail, including support for Exchange, Gmail™ and most other POP3 and IMAP e-mail services as well as synchronization with Google contacts and calendars. It also combines instant messaging support for Google Talk™, as well as AOL®, Yahoo! Messenger® and Windows Live Messenger. In addition, users can pull down the windowshade notification bar by dragging their finger down from the top of the screen, easily displaying message previews and other convenient at-a-glance notifications depending on the personalized applications users download.
Launch and price
It will be available on July 8 in the USA for 199.99 on a two year contract.
