Today marks the day that Android fans on T-Mobile have been waiting for. The carrier has officially launched its second, and highest-end Android-powered smartphone called the myTouch 3G. The handset can be purchased now.

T-Mobile isn’t merely tossing the handset onto store shelves and running a few adds. To celebrate the highly customizable nature of the phone T-Mobil is having 100 skydivers jump over San Francisco dressed as different personalities.

The skydivers will perform synchronized formations over the city says T-Mobile. Along with the handset a plethora of accessories are also available including the fitness pack with a fitness belt and armband as well as other cases. The myTouch 3G is available for $199.99 with a new 2-year contract.

  1. My Mother dislikes her "MyTouch" - And her 3G signal sucks inside (mine works just fine, on the G1)

    So I told her to use WiFi while she's in the house, SMH!

    my father likes his mytouch . his complaints are that everything is too small for him to see and that he cant remember where everything is . i recommended this phone for him... lol http://www.associatedcontent.com/art...ll_phones.html
  3. Ohh, I'm going to Tmobile to pay my bill in a few so I guess ill have a chance to play with the MT as well. Never seen it in person and if I like it enough, might get one off ebay.

    LMAO! - My mother would air me out, if I was to suggest she try one of those phone..

    But I love those commercials ;-))


    * Yeah XDVIPER.. Pick it up, IT'S VERY LIGHT!
  5. i want this phone but im def. not gonna call it "my touch" lmao its the htc magic
  6. i went in to see it today


    i *know* my next phone is gonna be an android phone - "which one" is the only question

    i'm watching this whole android thing develop from the sidelines - i've seen G-1s here and there, but my experience with themis very limited



    so.. i wanted to see how the touchscreen would work out

    my impression: bleh!





    i *really* don't like it

    i had a really hard time - was a LOT harder than it had to be



    now i'm kinda depressed

    NONE of the new phones that are coming out have a physical keyboard


    heck, even the G-1's keyboard kinda sucked - the keys don't protrude enough and they're hard to press



    geez

    so yeah.. kinda bummed
  7. do you own a g1?

    i find the hardware keyboard extremely easy to type i can type without even looking at the keyboard. its the same keyboard as the SK keyboard and the SK keyboard is one of the best

    now i cant say the same about the VK cuz it sucks. i only use it when i have the phone in my holster and dont wanna clip it and unclip it.
  8. hmm..

    no - i don't have a g1 - i just played with it in the store today

    i have a treo and the buttons protrude a lot more - they're alot rounder ("bumpy") - i guess that's what i'm used to



    for the record, i think the lancaster is the best looking android phone on the horizon

    i like the hero's UI the best - but i think it physically looks the worst!


    problem w/ the lancaster... too small

    and, it seems like its being aimed at the teenie-bopper market - specifically FEMALE teeny-boppers, by how tiny its going to be (think: tiny girl fingers)




    my perfect android phone - lancaster's DADDY

    lol
  9. just because the keys are popped out more doesnt mean its a better keyboard. i used to have a 755 and i hated the fact that the keys were so close together and small (which is why i would never get a palm pre) so the g1 keyboard is a big improvement on a treo keyboard
  10. you know, you have a really good point there

    i think the small keys on the pre is a BIG reason i didn't go for the pre (i'm with sprint already and i *definitely* felt a tinge of temptation when the pre came out - but i sat down... let it pass - i feel better now)



    the g1's keys are definitely bigger - but flatter/smoother

    i'm sure i could get used to the g1's keys easier than i could get used to a touch screen


    for sure
  11. Of all the G1 complains the physical keyboard has never been one of them. Idk.. coming from an htc s710 I thought it was a step up.
  12. I'm surprised that T-Mobile took the HTC Magic instead of the HTC Hero -- big marketing mistake, IMHO. The Magic is too much like the G1, minus physical keyboard. The Hero has a completely different UI, and seems to be what people want.

    I might have given up my physical keyboard to upgrade to the Hero, but I'm not a bit interested in the Magic.

    but t-mobile has a thing for "pretty" phones and the MT3G is better looking than the hero so they are banking on the fact that people are gonna want it cuz its a nice looking phone

    Did you just fiddle with a display G1, or was it a working G1? Because I remember back when I was looking at them almost a year ago, I messed with the display phones and the keys seemed to be really flat and they didn't stick out enough, but when I actually got the phone I realized otherwise. You see, the display G1 doesn't have any guts so the keys sit further back, in the actual G1 obviously everything is in there, and so the keys stick out more, I actually love the keyboard.
