The past few days, all our news stories have been revolving around T-Mobile’s version of the HTC Magic. Last week, T-Mobile made an announcement that they were going to announce their second Android phone, then there was the confirmation that the announcement was going to come on Monday. Well… it’s Monday and the announcement has come! T-Mobile has put up a site dedicated to the myTouch 3G, featuring a pre-sale countdown that finishes on July 8. Those who pre-order the myTocuh 3G should expect to get them by the end of July. Engadget is reporting that the price for the new Android phone will be $199 with a new two year agreement. The price point is a bit odd to me since the only difference between the HTC Magic (myTouch) and the HTC Dream (G1) is that the Magic is missing the full QWERTY keyboard, but has a slight memory boost.
The T-Mobile myTouch 3G’s site make reference to a few widgets that we still have not seen.
- "Themes and skins let you show off your style. You can even customize menus, wallpapers and icons to create an experience that is truly your own."
- Picasa, weather, and Youtube widgets
- Exclusive Sherpa app that features shops, restaurants and more
