Mobile Phone operator T-Mobile is adding another device to its Android stable: the latest myTouchhandset, built by HTC, features a speedy 1 GHz Snapdragon processor, Android 2.2 Os, and a front-facing camera for video calling. Plus, the device support’s T-Mobile HSPA+ 3.5G network for high-bandwidth applications.
“Taking advantage of the 4G speeds on T-Mobile’s HSPA&network, the new myTouch delivers a faster and more compelling experience than most competing smartphones on the market,” said T-Mobile USA VP of product management Andrew Sherrard, in astatement. “Our continued focus to build innovative new features and personalized services truly makes myTouch unique.”
Unlike FaceTime video chat on the iPhone 4G—which only works via Wi-Fi—the video chat feature on the new myTouch either via Wi-Fi or using T-Mobile’s HSPA+ network, and can be used with Yahoo Messenger or Qik with folks who have compatible mobile devices or PCs. The built-in address book can also indicate users’ availability for video chat.
Under the hood, the new myTouch features a 1 GHz Snapdragon processor, a big 3.8-inch touchscreen display, a 5 megapixel camera with HD video capture capability, integrated WiFi and assisted GPS, a pre-installed 8 GB SD memory card. The phone also features three features exclusive to T-Mobile: a Genius Button that enables users to create calls, messages, or email using voice dictation powered by Dragon Dictation, a Faves Gallery for most-contacted family and friends, and a myModes feature that creates customized home screens for users’ different roles: work, home, or (for instance) superhero.
T-Mobile hasn’t announced pricing or a ship date for the new myTouch, saying only that the device will be available in four colors—plum, red, __white, and black—”in time for the holidays.”
