The T-Mobile myTouch 3G is based on HTC’s Magic, which is sold by a number of carriers around the world. It is the second Android based earphone to be sold in the USA, and builds upon the achiever of the original T-Mobile River G1 by offering more design polish in a smaller, and sleeker parcel. While the vast bulk of our master HTC Magic review we published in May applies to the T-Mobile River myTouch 3G, this mini-review and the accompanying videos volition give you a pretty goodness estimate of what to expect from the myTouch 3G variant of the phone, should you decide to choice single up.

Physical Aspects

The myTouch 3G comes in 3 different colour schemes: white, blackness, and the merlot variant that we tested for our follow-up. Each weighs 117.9g (4.2oz), and is quite pocketable thanks to its 113.5mm x 56mm x 15mm (4.5in x 2.2in x .6in) dimensions. Frankly, it looks larger in photos than it does in mortal, and the deduction of the G1’s keyboard from the design has left the myTouch 3G with a much bettor overall look and feel.

The phone is very comfortable in the helping hand, and is well laid out. We really like the trackball that it offers, but found ourselves almost never using it. That’s because the large 3.2-inch capacitive touchscreen(INFO) exhibit is far easier to manipulation for most tasks, being both bright and colorful, as wellspring as requiring only the lightest of touches to activate. Haptic vibration feedback during textual matter input only improves and already easy to use touchscreen.

One of the things that T-Mobile is really pushing with the myTouch 3G is its cooking stove of accessories. T-Mobile volition be offering headsets, protective covers and cases, speakers, and even user designed rear battery covers that tin be used to personalize the device. It clay to be seen how myTouch 3G buyers respond to them, but it sounds like a goodness plan to us.

The myTouch 3G ships with a figure of nice accessories in the box. The loge, however, is more of a protective causa, and is quite nice look. In any causa, pardon the pun, the myTouch 3G comes with a 3.5mm brace of stereo headphones, a mini-USB to 3.5mm headphone adaptor, a rampart charger that is shaped much like the myTouch 3G itself, and a USB cable television. A nice, soft pouch is also included for everyday protection and cleansing.

All in all, the myTouch 3G is a very nicely designed device with solid physique caliber and a carnival number of included accessories.
