T-Mobile MyTouch and MyTouch Q available November 2

T-Mobile has announced that its new MyTouch and MyTouch Q handsets will be available online starting November 2 and in retail stores starting November 9. They will be $79.99 each after the usual two-year service agreements.

A departure from previous MyTouch handsets like the MyTouch 4G Slide and the MyTouch 4G, the new MyTouch phones are made by LG instead of HTC. Even though both are designated as entry-level smartphones, they run the latest Android Gingerbread firmware. Both have a 1GHz Qualcomm processor, a 5-megapixel camera with 720p HD video capture, a front-facing camera, and support for Netflix streaming.

The MyTouch has a 3.8-inch display, while the MyTouch Q has a 3.5-inch display with a slide-out QWERTY keyboard. The MyTouch is available in black and white, and the MyTouch Q is available in gray and violet. … Read more

Is the T-Mobile MyTouch 4G Slide camera really all that?

HTC has been pushing the 8-megapixel camera on the T-Mobile MyTouch 4G Slide hard, mostly for its low-light capabilities and its "zero shutter lag." I won't dispute that it delivers excellent photo quality overall, and that it's a great camera to use, but calling it the "most advanced smartphone camera" on the market is going too far.

To see just where it triumphs and fails in executing still photography, I spent several days shooting outdoor, indoor, low light, and well-lit photos with four smartphones around the San Francisco Bay Area: the MyTouch 4G Slide, … Read more

T-Mobile MyTouch 4G Slide review: Best camera around?

HTC is mighty proud of the 8-megapixel camera and accompanying camera software it put on the T-Mobile MyTouch 4G Slide, enough so that it beat its chest that this phone has the most advanced camera on any smartphone around.

We haven't had the phone in our clutches long enough to perform every test, especially against all our other smartphone cameras (but stay tuned--we will!) We did, however, run enough tests to know an overblown claim when we hear one.

The 1080p HD video capture, dual-LED flash, HDR camera software, and extensive other shooting modes are great, don't get … Read more
