This is a picture of the box of T-Mobile’s version of the HTC Magic, called the myTouch 3G. It should be available sometime this summer.
The phone has been floating around Europe for a few months now.
It’ll be available in three different colors at launch: white, black, and merlot—that’s dark red in non-marketing speak.
Once Monday rolls around we’ll be better equipped to properly handicap the phone’s chances of success.
I for one am very excited to get myTouch3G. I’ve been using an unlocked iPhone on T-Mobile for a while now.
I like T-Mobile’s network where I live and the call quality is excellent. I’ve been testing their 3G network out here in LA and I like what I see. They don’t have 80 million users clogging up the network so at least in my area it’s all mine for the taking. ;-) No complaints here!
I text and email a lot for my business. Using a virtual keyboard is good for quick stuff, like searches. An actual keyboard is a must. If only the MyTouch had a slide out keyboard. It would be awesome.
I would have preferred a 3.5 mm jack, but when I stop and think about how many times I’d need it it’s really a moot point. I use my Nano for music and a BT headset for calls while driving.
