3g My Touch Slide Views
The good: The T-Mobile MyTouch 3G Slide features a full QWERTY keyboard and the latest version of Android, 2.1, with all of its capabilities. T-Mobile's customized user interface brings a more consumer-friendly look and feel to Android, and the carrier includes some extra apps, like MyTouch Music. The phone's call quality is excellent and its 3G speeds are impressive.
For a long time, T-Mobile led the charge as the only carrier with Android phones. But in the past few months, Verizon and Sprint have brought out some crowd favorite Android phones like the Motorola Droid, HTC Droid Incredible, and HTC Evo 4G. However, T-Mobile's back with a new handset to add to its MyTouch 3G line called the MyTouch 3G Slide. It's not a powerhouse like the other smartphones, but it's not meant to be either.

The Slide is meant for customers making the leap to their first smartphone and offers a midrange feature set and a custom user interface from T-Mobile to help with that transition. Overall, we think the carrier's touches are successful, though some could use a little fine-tuning. More importantly, the MyTouch 3G's call quality is great and has the benefits of being an Android phone with a physical keyboard. That said, we think it's slightly overpriced at $179.99 (with a two-year contract) considering that the more powerful Evo 4G and Droid Incredible cost just $20 more. Hopefully, T-Mobile will adjust the phone's price at some point. The MyTouch 3G Slide will be available starting June 2 in black, red, or white.
