T-Mobile officially announced the highly anticipated MyTouch 3G Slide. Featuring the Genius Button, myModes, and the Faves Gallery, the phone aimed to offer a more communication-focused Android experience.
The new myTouch 3G Slide combines a roomy slide-out QWERTY keyboard with an incredibly crisp, high-performance touch screen powered by the latest Android software. The T-Mobile myTouch 3G Slide is purpose-built for communication, with unique new features that help customers connect more easily, more quickly and more often to their closest family and friends.
Faves Gallery presents up to 20 of your favorite people and the different ways to communicate with them in a dedicated application accessible through a soft button and an easy-to-use widget. myModes helps you draw the line between work and home by creating different themes with home screen apps, widgets, and wallpapers. The Genius Button, powered by Dragon Dictation from Nuance Communications, lets you press one button, talk, and it delivers voice commands to make calls, compose texts and emails, search the web, and more.
Powered by Android 2.1, the myTouch 3G Slide offers a rich mobile web experience and access to thousands of applications on Android Market. Designed by HTC exclusively for T-Mobile, the device features a 3.4-inch HVGA touchscreen, a slide-out QWERTY keyboard, a 5-megapixel camera, a music player with a pre-installed 8GB microSD card, and enhanced video capabilities.
The myTouch 3G Slide was expected to be available in June, exclusively from T-Mobile USA in three colors: black, white, or red.
Android 2.1, three colors, Swype included. One notable omission from the press release: processor speed.
