T-Mobile myTouch 3G Slide review
Jun 2nd
Like it or not, T-Mobile has now officially turned its myTouch brand into an entire franchise, thanks to the addition of a second model and an entire line of styled accessories — but it’s not just about the hardware. Far from it, in fact: with the myTouch 3G Slide, the carrier has actually built a custom skin on top of HTC’s Sense for Android 2.1, and all kidding aside, this phone represents one of the deepest carrier-customized experiences we’ve ever seen. Seeing how this phone arguably represents the true successor to the G1 — T-Mobile’s (and the world’s) first retail Android device — it’s pretty important that they get this right, particularly considering how critical it is for a carrier’s bottom line to capitalize on the meaty, profitable midrange of its smartphone lineup.

T-Mobile’s Fender edition myTouch 3G now available for $180
Jan 21st
We’d already heard that T-Mobile’s new Fender edition myTouch 3G would be rolling out on January 20th, but we hadn’t had much indication about what sort of premium (if any) it would demand over the standard myTouch. Well, as you can see above, you will have to pay an extra $30 on top of the $150 the regular myTouch 3G currently demands (on-contract, naturally), but that will get you a bundled 16GB memory card, not to mention a genuine 3.5mm headphone jack, a few pre-loaded songs from Eric Clapton and others and, of course, that classy woodgrain finish. Not too shabby for an extra thirty bucks, if you ask us.
