MyTouch3G is now available with 3.5mm Non-Clapton Edition

First T-Mobile launches Fender limited edition of the MyTouch3G phone which brings 3.5mm headphone to the nearly-perfect MyTouch3G. Surely, that is going to upset some folks who's committed to the original MyTouch3G. Just today, T-Mobile announced standard MyTouch3G is now offered with 3.5mm. This, surely, will piss off a lot of the early adopters of MyTouch3G customers. Personally, I think T-Mobile should offer a low cost upgrade to the owners of original MyTouch3G...

Fender edition is temp out of stock? Crazy.

Quick Review: TMobile MyTouch3G

Wife just brought home a TMobile MyTouch3G issued by her work... this thing is sleek, lightweight and super thin. I like it drastically over the original G1 that I still have. Between the limited buttons on the front bezel, trackball+touchscreen and impressive onscreen keyboard, my bet on Android ruling the mobile world still stands!

T-Mobile Mytouch 3G Available to Public Today

If you've been patiently waiting for the 2nd Android smartphone officially sold in the U.S. (and from T-Mobile), wait no further. The Tmobile Mytouch 3G (aka HTC Magic) is finally out and about for $199 and a two-year contract. Choose from three colors (black, white and red)

This phone is pretty slick with a uber thin casing because it doesn't include a physical keyboard. With T-Mobile's 3G network, WiFi and aGPS running over a plethora of Google's goodies (Map, Talk, Gmail, Google Voice, and lots more...), this phone is one of the best contenders out there. Of course, I couldn't live with myself unless I mention the lacking of a 3.5mm headphone jack. Now go get yours!

Incase you want to know how this phone stacks up against other smartphones, Billshrink.com put together a nice little comparo chart here. Looks like Mytouch 3G is a no brainer in terms of average spending of its lifetime!

Preview of T-Mobile's MyTouch3G

Aka HTC Magic, Google Ion, and informally known as the G2, the upcoming T-Mobile MyTouch 3G is making the buzz lately as it would be the 2nd official Android handset to be sold in America. T-Mobile created a countdown website and is now taking pre-orders for August 5th delivery. This new phone is a bit more polished compared to the original G1; MyTouch 3G loses the slider/keyboard along with some thickness, shaved off some fat as well as the ugly chin.

From the hardware standpoint, MyTouch 3G has been improved in the following areas:
* Different CPU albeit the same 528Mhz speed: MyTouch (Qualcomm 7200A) G1 (7201A)
* System memory: MyTouch (ROM 512MB, RAM 288), G1 (ROM 256MB, RAM 192MB)
* Bigger Battery: MyTouch (1340mAh), G1 (1150mAh)
* Lighter: MyTouch (116g), G1 (158g)
(Details spec for MyTouch and G1)

My single point of complaint is the lack of a 3.5mm headphone jack; like the G1, everything is going to be shared via the mini USB data/audio jack. You can connect a 3.5mm headphoen via an adaptor but that means you'd lose the ability to charge your sync your MyTouch 3G at the same time. No matter what the argument is (ie. use Bluetooth A2DP for music, blah blah), I still think it was a stupid decision that HTC did not include it. Its sad because it would have been a really good competitor to the iPhone.
