  • how do download a radio on my T-MOBILE phone

  • search for whats app on your google play market then click on install

  • go to xda developers website and check the post by insanityrains

  • I cant download 2go with mytouch 3g slide, what can I do

  • pls how do i update to version 2.2 froyo or higher?

  • im finding it difficult to download whatsapp on mine, what do i do

  • The low memory message is very annoying! I'm a former owner and my teens currently own these phones. 1) Regularly clear out your cache, temporary files/data, and Internet history. Using Facebook, Twitter, Tumblr, games, etc., quickly fills the phone's memory. I used to clear the memory DAILY. 2) Move whatever apps you can to SD card, and refrain from using apps that don't allow you to move them to the SD card. There's no reason app developers cannot allow this, so I refuse to use apps that unnecessarily hog my phone's memory and won't move to SD card! Hope this helps :)

  • When installing some apps it will write there is a problem parsing the package.what do i do to stop that?

  • it has low mem and any time u want to download anything new,you will get feed back as low mem what do i do?help me out pls.

  • On low memory, simply uninstall old applications or games you dont use anymore. You can install games with its data on the SD card to save internal memory. Also, loging in to application such as Facebook for HTC Sense, can synchronize (download) all your facebook friends with their profile picture, birthday (mostly found in the calender), events, etc. You can clear this data to free internal memory by following this steps. *Click on application drawer *Click on Settings *Click on Applications *Click on Manage application *Click on All tap *Click on Contacts Storage (Tip: You can locate it quickly by sliding the QWERTY pad and typing "Contact") *First, click on Force stop then click on Clear data. NOTE: Clearing "Contacs Storage" data would permanently delete contacts save on the phone. You can export contacts save on the phone to the SD card. To do this; *first click on People (from application Drawer) *Press menu key *Click on Import/Export *Click on Export to SD card *Click on phone *Confirm by clicking on "OK" You can import it back by cliking on the menu key in 'People' *Click on the import from SD card *Click on phone to create contact account It would automatically search your SD card and import your contacts back

  • How do I upgrade my touch 3g slide to andriod os 2.3 cos am tired of using 2.2...i want to play the realfootball 2013...who knows if other new and exciting games comes out...we wont be playing it

  • I was trying to install a new application but keeps telling me low memory, what do I do

  • How do I upgrade my internal memory

  • If your system memory is low, just remove old applications you dont use anymore. You can also download games with its data on the sd card to save internal memory. But if you want to increase the system memory such as RAM, then you have to root your phone before it can be increase (with sd card help).

  • how do i upgrade my system memory

  • you can get to know something about rooting phone here But I have not root mine yet. Im still working on how to root it without bricking.

  • i don no9w waht you mean by roting the phone.please i would love it if you could explain better

  • @dbrigge You have to root the phone before internal memory can be increased. (with the help of sd card)

  • What you are experiencing is a hardware problem. You have to contact HTC.

  • @Kojo Ballo MyTouch 3g slide has 512mb of internal space. If you have only 150mb, that is ok because OS (Operating System) takes part of it. Also check to make sure that market (play store) have not updated some of the applications automatically y

  • @hamajesty what you are experiencing might be result from a widget or shortcut you have install or place on your homescreen. Try removing newly installed applications or changing the phone mode (maybe to away). If the problem still persist, go to market (play store) on your phone and search for "Contact" (without qoute marks.). Download and install "contact". This would definitely solve the problem. NOTE: You can use 1MOBILE MARKET; If you have install it, when play store is runnnig slow for you.

  • "T-Mobile myTouch 3g slide" has 5 home screen but it can be expanded to 7 after updating it to android 2.2 (Froyo).

  • Pls how can i configure the phone for browsing?

  • I formatted my phone, and i can't browse the internet Please can i get the configurations for it

  • You have to perform a hard reset on your phone. Unfortunately, all your files stored on the phone would be permenetly deleted (including the pattern lock password). Turn the phone off and take out your sim and sd card (if you have one) put the battery back in and follow the following instruction carefully. - Press and hold the Volume Down key and then press the Power key. - When the screen with the three Androids appears, release the Volume Down key. - Press the Volume Down key to select Clear Storage. - Press the Power key. - Press the Volume Up key for YES to delete all user data.

  • Yes it update straight if you follow the upgrading instruction (which is very clear and simple) on the computer. It takes about 15 minutes for the upgrade to be complete.

  • I don't know what I can do to my phone it was lock and I don't know who change my lock pattern loging to my google account but is not working pls what can I do

  • does it update straight without any problems and long processes?

  • pls how can i configure my t-mobile 3G slide to browse

  • This phone is very nice, strong and good. Just that it can't access skype and some apps and games like Asphalt 6.

  • Yeah - it does ok. Lasts through the day of moderate use - Wifi & Pandora for a few hours, 3G web browsing, etc.

  • what about the battery does it last

  • this phone is very nice

  • I've had the 3G slide phone for approx 1 yr and had to send it back for the 3rd time for replacement. The problem seems to arise when using either the USB for the computer or car charger. The pins inside of the phone is quite fragile and will bend, thus causing the phone not to charge by car, AC or USB. Its a good phone otherwise.

  • i reconmend you should not get the mytouch slide 3g it is really badd it always glitch and the screen just stops working, i had my second one for 4 month? and its already acting the same as my first one and i never dropped it once and it still acts glitchy bad phone do not get it >.

  • hello fellow users.... im louis christian... got this fone some couple o'weeks ago buh dnt still know how to root... can someone tutor me? i'll be grtful for the help... and has anyone been able to download screenshot app? does the fone accept assasins creed hd?

  • hi, i've had dis fone 4 2 mnths now n its a nyc fone. Havn't encountered any problems yet, d qwerty keyboard is solid n fluid even d onscreen keyboard is fantastic as it features swype technology. N with d froyo update it bcomes a fantastic fone. 1 more thing dat intrigued me about dis fone is dat i dropd it from ova my head n it survivd wit a minor but unnoticeable scratch. Overall,dis is a very gud fone

  • Ive had myTouch 3G SLide for about a week now, but my camera stopped working for almost the same time. Pls how can I correct this?

  • Can this phone run Andriod 2.3 and how do you loose default T_mobile themes and the installed unecessary apps.

  • hi

  • what is the text to speech function

  • I've had this phone for coming on a year now. It's quite excellent, takes being dropped well, and the keyboard is very easy to use. The only cons are the camera won't work if there is any movement at all, and when holding the phone sideways (when using the keyboard) the wifi will sometimes cut out (likely due to finger placement). I would still highly suggest this phone however.

  • Ive had this phone for six months. The pros of this devise is that youtube and internet are very fast, and the physical and virtual keyboards work wonderfully The cons of this devise is that it is quite bulky and slips easily out of your hands due to size, weight, and flimsy plastic shell. Also, the app store can lag sometimes, and the messages can be slow to load. And it takes hours to erase texts if you have more than say, 800. So I was very displeased when I had to delete over 2000 messages. (I didn't know prior it would take so long) the last complaint I have is that a three foot drop from slipping thru my fingers caused the inside of the phone to jumble up, and loosened the sim chip. Overall, I give this phone a 3 out of 5. It could be better if the shell of the phone was rubberized, and they speed up the deletion of texts to a more reasonable rate. I'm getting rid of this phone in 2 days to get the motorola defy. So far, I've felt and seen this devise and I am much more pleased with it than the mytouch slide. I suggest you do not get this phone unless its on some special, because for 70 dollars less, its worth it, but not when the price is where it is.

  • Upgrade to 2.2 and use wifi hopspot to connect

  • one of the best phone ever !!

  • Froyo came out about 2 weeks ago and it's made an improvement to the phone.

  • I bought this phone about a week ago, Even though the phone has s 600mz processor, the phone is very fast. I notice no noticable lagging unless playing games. The phone is very user friendly and the physical keyboard is very intuitive. Overall I would give this phone a 9/10

  • How can I use like a modem?

  • who is he ? oh ! and by the way,thanks for answer

  • why not just root and install cyanogen? he put wifi calling on the slide a while ago... and the latest version is 2.3

  • does anybody know how ca i fwd a msg to multiple friends ?? like i didnt found any option for groups or creating a friends/family list ???

  • This is a nice phone man.

  • guys, i am in chennai.after seeing the review, would like to go for mts 3g slide. can you tell me whr i can buy and the price?or else, recommend, a 3g/multiple push mail/social site/net usage for banking, which phone would be best to buy

  • Love this phone - one of the big issues I had with it was battery life, but after rooting and putting CyanogenMod on it, I don't have this issue any longer. Not sure if that is because of the improvements in Android's battery usage in the later version or thanks to my underlocking of the CPU down to 240 MHz when the screen is off (overclocked to 800 MHz when the screen is on).

  • you are rite,for me one of the best phone out there and knowbody talks about it. And I love the keyboard.

  • I have reviewed this website for a long time to check out what my next step should be whenever looking for a different cell. I am typing this up with the MyTouch Slide's QWERTY keyboard, and I have to say, this phone is golden. It will put most other Droid operated phones to shame. Multitudes of features that are run on fluent technology. Definitely gets a 12 out of 10 from me. (Just be sure to uninstall apps that you aren't/don't use.

  • Pleaseeeeee anyone knows when the update is going to come out. I means froyo 2.2 or 2.3 whichever,wifi calling will be nice.

  • I had my doubts a first, but now I don't know what I would do without my mytouch slide 3G. If it ever breaks, I will definitely buy another. They are great. well worth the money.

  • This phone is amazing, never been much of a touchsreen fan, which is why i got the slider but,droid's touchscreen swipe keypad is cool (i've only used the slider only twice since i've gotten it)and other features make this phone the best in it's pricing and class.

  • Can't complain about this phone since it's perfect in every feature. However, the 320x480 screen does not allow you to enjoy good games. In general, I love this stuff.

  • i am gonna get this phone. Tell u more when i receive it.

  • yes u can and much more this phone is alwesome

  • tell me about games can u play 3d games like iphone?

  • i hav T-mobile its over two year so i can get discount yeaaa aa so i get this phone about $50 NOT BAD.

  • I have posted on here but just found out some news a lot of people are saying that mts will not get froyo 2.2 that is wrong it will get the update as soon as the new batch of slides get sent out also just found out that I can be online and talking at the same time extremely pleased about that so plz if anyone has anytips or info about the mts please let me know thx

  • Mytouch slide is the best cell out there nothin compares. Android market!!! Rocks free downloads tons of space on my phone for whatever!! Pandora is a must! Thanks t.mobile

  • I just got my mts and have to say am really speechless it is a great phone haven't had any lag issues pretty quick downloads camera nice love the swype technology pretty good memory can't wait for 2.2 to come out now here is the funny part I exchanged my new vibrant galaxy s for this mts I know peoples mouths just dropped vgs was a great phone but the mts is faster online the vgs lagged a lot and on top of everything I only had it for a week and it crashed I had a full retail mind u 660 dollar paper weight within a day of having the mts I got a ota update I've downloaded a lot of apps and I also am using 3d hd wallpapers a deffinet 9.5 out of 10

  • i got the mts a month ago and i love it screw the the i phone 4

  • You have some of the Specifications Wrong it has swipe, a trackpad, and multitouch Geotaging (android has had this from 1.1) If i remember corect it has an ARM11 600mgz processer (don't qote me on that one though) but overall that is a good reiview and i love my phone just wish i had wated on the g2

  • Actually, the UI name is Espresso. Its T-Mobile's version of HTC Sense. Essentially its the same process but a different look. Its just not branded "HTC Sense".

  • it is sense

  • Hey Please Tell Me Does myTouch 3G Slide Support Skype ?? Any alternative application on which one can have voice chat or video chat??

  • How much internal memory does this phone have?

  • white

  • The MyTouch 3G Slide UI looks like HTC Sense UI

  • that has happen to me...idk why but when you go to bed turn off the internet network...and you should be good

  • im going to get a mytouch slide and i was just wondering is white or black color better?

  • Look at the 3G frequencies to determine if you can use the phone on another GSM provider data plan. Otherwise you are stuck with using the wifi for that.

  • is it just me, or does the battery life suck? went to sleep w.my phone charged 100% woke up and a quarter of the battery is used. i have stopped most of the running apps too, i dont understand -_-

  • look for an app,on the market store. It's an app for that

  • any review?

  • I just got my MTS today and I like it. It is however a glitchy unit.

  • One of the few times I got something within a week of its release. I finally get to be a guinea pig. It's a great phone, a sort of iPhone for T-Mobile customers. My one complaint is that the GMail phone app has no known features or documentation for dealing with clipped messages. So you either have to use the phone browser and go to the GMail website (which provides for viewing the entire message), or use the phone's regular "Mail" program, which you can configure to not clip messages regardless of size.

  • Love love love mytouch 3G slide. Initally I was up for a renewal w/tmobile so I initally got the HTC HD2 since I thought the highest priced phone is the better one but I was wrong. After a day of using it I hated it I don't get how it apps sucks. I returned the phone and got a mytouch 3G slide its awesome, great tons apps more and I like the idea it has a full keypad.

  • Do you have to have a data plan to access anything on the mytouch 3g slide or can you just use wifi to use the android market and the apps etc.

  • check this out.... N8 lovers u should check dis out Nokia N8 is the best Iphone 4 sucksss Nokia N8 can process 1.5 tetrabite iphone 4 only process 32 GB man do u know 1 tetrabite is equal to 1000 GB or gigabite check this site

  • Hey guys, i really really like this phone but unfortunately where i live, we dont have t-mobile. i found an unlocked version on ebay. if i'll buy it will i be able to use internet on it and emailings? regards melv

  • I am an experienced cell phone programmer/ technician for and I have seen and used many many cell phones. My service provider is T-Mobile and I have been a dedicated Apple iphone (Jailbroken) user from day one. I love my iphone the way that it operates the speed and how user friendly it is. I thought thought for the longest time that. First off I would like to say that the iphone works faster and with almost no dropped calls. My professional opinion is that the iphone works better in the NYC area on T-Mobile than on AT&T. If AT&T were to ever loose the iphone contract they would see a great loss in their profits. I thought that no PDA would ever come close to the iphone, until the My Touch 3G Slide. I got a hold of one a month before they were released and honestly have to say that I finally found a product that replaced the iphone!!! I am so happy with this My Touch 3G Slide. It is so user freindly, very fast, great GPS a TON of apps, I really have to say this is the best PDA that I have come across. If T-Mobile were to do some good marketing on this product I am sure that they will bury the iphone, mind you I love the iphone, but the My Touch 3G slide blows the iphone out of the water. And a buddy that just got a 3G slide found a way to teather the phone to a laptop SSSWWWEEEETTTTT!!!. Incredible product. It is so much fun to use this phone. Go to T-Mobile you can get one and have 15 days to return the product for a refund. I promise you that maybe 9 out of 10 buyers will stay with the 3G Slide. IPHONE MOVE OVER, YOUR TIME HAS COME!!!

  • Although on paper this phone lacks high end specs, the user experience says otherwise. It handles tasks surprisingly well for a midrange CPU (probably due to the generous 512MB RAM) and comes with an 8GB SD Card. The HTC Sense Espresso UI is a little different at first but it grows on you pretty quick (except the recent apps in the notifications bar, it's somewhat obstructive in landscape mode). The display is pretty nice for only having a 480x320 resolution. Battery life is decent. The hardware keyboard is top notch but I also use the Swype keyboard as much, if not more. I personally don't use the Genius feature too often but it has come in handy in the car. Dragon dictation's speech to text may even be more accurate than Google's. Flash lite does the job about half the time but you can't go wrong with this phone, especially since it's promised Froyo. I would highly recommend this phone.

  • Yes I did just that I was lucky they allowed me to return the HD2 and get the MTS instead works great.

  • why no reviews for t-mobile phones?

  • I purchased an HTC HD2 on the first day it launched. I have had nothing but problems with the phone, such as freezing, losing data, unable to open E-mail, etc. I just bought the Mytouch 3g slide I absolutely love the phone. Very easy to learn, lots and lots of free apps. Easy access to E-mail. Recommend highly.

  • I have both... MTS wins hands down!

  • Not an opinion but a question. I bought a HD2 on 6/19. I find that it freezes. The battery life is awful and it does not allow me to access my gmail emails among other things. Do you all think it would be a good idea to trade it in for a Mytouch Slide. I have 14 days after purchase to decide. Is t-mobile releasing any new phones July 1st? Thanks for your help..

  • I love this phone! My wife has the n1 and its just as equally impressive. They both blow the samsung galaxy 5800 out of the water. Battery life is good on the mytouch and better on the N1 and the samsung just sucks.

  • If you had to choose between the nexus one or the new mytouch 3g slide, which one would it be and why?

  • In regards to battery life, I cant complain as my usage in on the heavy side. I am constantly surfing the net or working the social media sites for my own personal research so the battery works hard and I would say as an above normal user it suits you to have a charger nearby to juice up. But if ur an average phone user who wont be working the internet channels much, the battery will last 6am to midnight .. i find the personalization of the phones features to be its core asset. Everything runs so smooth and so fast. I find it hard to believe sumpne would not be impressed with the user functionality of the Slide. Oh and having Android running behind it all makes it that much more powerful too. You can find all kinds of cool programs and widgets thru the Android Market or on android websites and theres just no end to what one can do on here. So before you juml on here, posting anymous discontent and disdain for the phone.. why not actually get one in your hands so you can see what a real reviewer sees and feels. Oh and I typed this on my Slide.. the QWERTY keyboard kicks the competition to the side....

  • what is the battery life on this one is it good?i heard things about flimsy slide mechanism that doesnt last long how true is this?what about facebook integration is it fast to upload?are pictures descent on this one?anybody who owns this pls give a more technical review.thank you.

  • Go to pandora APP. you can customize your own radio station and its free. thought i would try to help.

  • Yes

  • Yes

  • what kind of video format does it play

  • is it possible to customize the inbox look? like the colors and text colors and such, like the G1?

  • Can you change the background to one of your own pictures on the phone?

  • The most sad part of the phone is that it has no fm radio. Also it has no secondary camera. I dont want purchase it.

  • looks utterly not special

  • For the most part I LOVE the phone, but I've had some issues with the phone restarting itself. I took it back to the store and they exchanged it for me no questions asked. Today it shut itself down and would not turn back on. I even plugged it into the charger thinking maybe the battery was dead...I had to remove the battery and the sim card to turn it back on. Anyone else have any issues with theirs? I'm guessing the problem is in my sim card or micro sd card.

  • 512MB

  • thank you soooo much.. i've been going back and forth with whether to get a blackberry (my sister has one and she adores it) or to get the mytouch slide, from your review my decision has been made and it's the mytouch slide FTW. thank you so much

  • If your contacts are saved to your sim card the phone should automatically pull them from the card. If you are unable to do this the easiest solution is to go into the closest t-mobile store and have them do this for you.

  • I have been with Tmobile for almost 3 years now and I must admit I have dealt with some pains with the phones. When Android burst onto the scene with the g1, I was the first to jump on the empty bandwagon as I did not enjoy the business function of blackberry and despised Windows Mobile since the Dash SUCKED. I fell in love with the g1 from day one and used it to death. When i heard rumors of the slide in April I decided to return the HD2 only five days after getting it becuz i wanted to use my upgrade discount on the slide! Its been well worth it! The Slide integrates all my social media with my contacts and everything is simplified and easy to use. The camera has worked great for me, all times of day! I luv the 5-7 home screens, it allows me to personalize my phone with widgets and just make my whole user experience that much more enjoyable. I thought I was not going to enjoy the optical trackball being used to the old trackball of the g1 but so far it works for me and is easy to use. I had the hd2 with its snapdragon super processor and the phone froze up on me ten times in the 5 days i had it. I have had the Slide 5 days now and it hasnt froze up pr been sluggish ONCE!! midrange my buttt! This phone rocks! The only thing that i have problems with is a cosmetic choice on the part of the designers at HTC.. whoever made the decision on the QWERTY keyboard to place the O/9 key next to the P/0 key is a complete idiot becuz everyone time im typing i confuse the two and all my words with the letter O end up being letter Ps and my "wprds" look like that! Overall, this phone gets a 8.5 out of 10 from me. An avid, Android Tmobile user.

  • What a pisspoor review, first off, you act like ONLY upgrading the software isn't enough of a reason to buy the phone, but outside of that... they're upgraded the battery, the camera, added a flash, added flash, genius button, better keyboard, amonst many other improvements. Pff, read a book.

  • I had to buy the retail price, but I have been with T-mobile for more than a year, they give me $200 off as a partial upgrade/discount...

  • how can i transfer all my contacts that i have saved in my sim? help

  • I had to wake up early to get mine and there was already an old lady cutting in front of me to get hers. I didn't mine as I still came in second. How did you get the $200 off? This phone is smooth/fast. Swype texting on this is pretty neat! Has some additional polished features that the Nexus doesn't have yet out of the box like the genius button and senseUI. (tested Nexus one with 2.1)

  • I got mine today. It is damn fast and smooth. I actually liked the camera + flash. I had to go to 5 different T-mobile stores, because they have sold out the damn thing! But the sweet deal was that I had to buy the retail price. Fortunately I got $200 off!:D

  • You can get information about the MyTouch Slide at www.mytouchslide.com

  • I have talked to the T-mobike. It will be in stores tomorrwo June 2nd for the price between $400 to $450 in the US. The online ordering opens after 10am. I am a HTC user and my previous phone was HTC touch2, it was pretty good by the screen broke down for no reason. I think I will get this one tomorrow. Still have some doubts, because I am not sure which T-mobile phone should I go for, the thing is that obvious is that Windows phones, crash a lot. any idea?

  • What is the internal memory of the Slide?

  • YES! this is considered the TRUE G2. It will be running the 2.1 (ECLAIR) Android software, and it is rumored that it will get the 2.2 (FROYO) upgrade soon. Like within the next week of it coming out. So to answer your question.... yes you should def get this phone. You will NOT be disappointed.!

  • "This model works very well as an upgrade for those coming from feature phones and previous G1 customers." False Statement. This phone wishes it could be an HTC vision. Tmobile is telling their customers that their G1 will physically not be able to get Froyo and encouraging you to get this piece of s*** instead. Essentially the same phone they released almost 2 years ago. The only major benefit to a mytouch 3g slide over a G1 is the software. Like the others have said without a better processor this is completely useless. Try to run live all papers on your g1 with an eclair (2.1) build and you'll see how choked the G1 is (and the mytouch 3g slide) will be on Froyo (2.2) The brilliant devs at xda have already proved them wrong with a mostly working build here:

  • i have a g1, is the mytouch slide a replacement for my phone?

  • This phone is one of the best android devices that t-mobile carries. the screen is amazing, i love that they integrated the keyboard into this one. and the 2.1 is amazing... and i have heard from some of my "friends" that the MT3G Slide will get the FROYO 2.2 update pretty qwick... so i am waiting in anticipation... i can't wait to have this phone... RED

  • I have a question: does it lag? I mean did you encounter any lagging when typing or when doing anything??

  • The soft launch is June 2nd. Retail stores will start selling it then. The national advertising campaign starts June 16th.

  • How it's the battery life on this phone,and are sure that this phone it's better then the nexus one

  • MyTouch 3G Slide will be released in reatail stores on June 16th. So far it is pretty awesome. The only complaint I would have is the navigation in the Faves Gallery is a little more difficult than I would. Other than that, the touch screen is way better than any other Androd I have expirenced. The pinch to zoom is pretty awesome too. Every one has already heard that the Genious button is, well, genious. the trackpad works really good as well. The 2.1 software on it is EVEN MORE customizable than any Android before. HTC Sense UI rocks. Video and picture quality are definitly updated. Over all, I would rate this phone a 9 out of 10 and the best Android I have ever personally used (Over the Nexus 1, Mytouch, Cliq, Cliq XT, Motorola Droid).

  • Nope

  • Is this phone going to be released in the UK?

  • u mean optical trackpad, not trackball

  • i was gonna get this phone until i heard about the outrageous pricing. it costs $179.99 (2-year contract) after $50 mail in rebate. So basically ur gonna go and pay $229.99 in the front. Note: thats not including the $18 upgrade fee or tax. So expect to pay much more than $229.99. I really wanted this phone until i heard about this. So now, no thanks for me unless they lower the pricing. P.S. This phone will hit USA stores June 2, 2010

  • I have it also, this is suppose to be for those looking to have info on the device don't spoil it for those who need to decide if this is a device for them.

  • The only thing im wondering is how come the wifi doesnt have N. If it had that this phone would be even more perfect than it already is. The phone is out 6/2 in the US just a heads up.

  • yes the battery life is fine, im on mine all day long and still have half a battery by the time i get home. and in response to multi touch it does offer multi touch out of the box. any other questions, ive had mine for over a week now.

  • Where do you buy this and see how much it cost?

  • Yes it's a optical trackball,I find out all ready,throughout other sources.

  • That anybody knows how is the battery on this phone,it's less powerful then the one that nexus one has. I will appreciate the help. I want at least a decent battery life.

  • looks like an optical to me not many new phones have a non optical trackball these days anyway bc they are the first thing to break

  • yes it is

  • Where did you get yours? I really want one but I don't think it will be on sale until June.

  • that anybody knows,if that it's a optical trackball.

  • Love the slide, i just got mine yesterday and it's a champ. I have used the G1 and the nytouch and the difference is undiniable. I went to te HD2 for a few weeks and hated it and wanted Android back badly and this device is just what i need. Anyone tatwants to deny it please go into your local store and see it.

  • When to my local t-mo store to see the HD2 but a sales rep showed me his 3g slide instead. The phone runs smoothly, about the same as the HD2 even with less of a CPU. The sales persona said it's because of the OS. The genius button worked like a charm. All I had to do was press the button and say "find burger king" and the phone starts to look for the burger king nearest me. The hardware feels solid with good finish. It's heavy but a good heavy. It's no where near as cheap as some photos may show. Didn't get a chance to type a message with the keyboard but the spacing is good. The phone will be out on 6/15 and it's definitely going to be my upgrade.

  • i played with it. yes there multitouch. very very very nice android i love this device

  • there is multitouch

  • uhh multi-touch is embedded within the broswer, maps, photo gallery, even the home page.... showing your 5-7 homepages as thumbnails...

  • i think its goin to be a good fone.. but they could have made tha keyboard a lil better i still like the keys on the G1..

  • I think its going to be a GREAT phone!!!!!

  • I like this phone,but what happen with the multitouch. well anyways this going to be my next phone. I love android,and a keyboard yeah ! this is a winner. looks nice too.G1 lover

  • no multitouch

  • yea this phone runs really well, but got crashed by Incredible.

  • Is that an optical trackpad at the center at the bottom of the phone? If its not, theeennn what is it?

  • It looks good, specs could be better

  • I also have seen and gotten a chance to use it for a little bit. It flies compared to other android phones I've tried (haven't tried all of them), and it may, MAY, have a 700mhz cpu instead of the reported 600mhz. In any case, it is definitely my next phone.

  • this phone is real and i've seen it. its awesome, fast and slimmer than the original mytouch. better than i thought.

  • Specs aren't completely accurate, this device WILL have a 5 mp camera, it's already been comfirmed.

  • mytouch could very well run 2.1, lol the g1 runs it well. reason its not on the mytouch right now is because htc is busy with new phones that drivers for the old ones are getting pushed at the back of the priority queue

  • lol, r u crazy? they just share the name. it runs 2.1 + espresso ui which means its not carrying the same arm11 processor... arm11 processor is a family it ranges from 350 - 600+ mhz. this will share the hero specs not mytouch/magic

  • I highly doubt that 2.1 will work 'Flawlessly' on this device. This has very similar specs to the MyTouch3G, which does not run 2.1 very well.

  • This is NOT replacing the sidekick. It will be released in may. Employees get their devices the 26th of April. Why such a low mpx camera is unanswered. How ever android 2.1 will be flawless on this device unlike the behold 2 that has major issues supporting the firmware.

  • My question is why didnt they put a 5 megapixel camera ??

  • thi sis replacing the sidekick

  • keyboard looks uncomfortable htc should go with the far superior touchpro2's keyboard if this is real

  • so much space that could have been used for the screen is wasted...hmmm!!!
