T-Mobile’s myTouch 3G Slide is made official — Android 2.1, coming in June

May 4

Well, well, well, Motorola CLIQ. Looks like you’ll be at the bottom of the Android QWERTY-slide out category in 3….2….1… The myTouch Slide will actually be called the myTouch 3G Slide — weird name, we know — and will pack in the heavily T-Mobile flavored “Espresso” Sense UI on Android 2.1, a full slide-out QWERTY keyboard, 3.4-inch HVGA display, and 5 megapixel camera. Not bad, T-Mo. It’ll be available “in June” in either black, white, or red for an unknown-as-of-yet price. To say we’re not excited is baloney; I’m very excited. Now to get my hands-on with a review unit, that’s another thing entirely. One more shot of the Slide and press release, After The Jump.

T-Mobile’s myTouch Slide coming in 3 different colors? Interesting…

April 13

Since the T-Mobile myTouch Slide is the successor to the G1, it means that not only there is extreme leakage on its specs and software (Android 2.1 with that leaked “Espresso” Sense UI, which is really glossy) but now, colors. When you cough up the cash to grab a myTouch Slide for an as-of-yet unknown price, you’ll have the option of Red with Black, Black, and White. Now the guys at CellPhoneSignal claim that the shot above is directly from T-Mobile’s press gallery (and we have no reason to think otherwise). So technically, that’s today’s dose of myTouch Slide news. You’re welcome.

A proper myTouch Slide photo makes the rounds…with details

April 12

The above is a shot of the successor to the T-Mobile G1, aka the myTouch Slide. This little sport has a 4-row QWERTY slide-out, 1300mAHr battery, optical trackpad, camera with LED flash, a not-so-cool ARM11 processor, 3.5mm headset jack, microSD expansion slot, and a 320x480 screen resolution, which is almost considered blurry compared to newer Android phones which contain 800x480 AMOLED screens. Besides that sorry list of specs, there’s not much to desire here besides slightly updated touch-sensitive buttons, including a hippy-like Google search logo. Ah, good times.

T-Mobile HTC HD2 a hit, sells out in 4 hours?

March 25

As much as I might not believe it, the HTC HD2 is a success! As a clarification, I see the HD2 as one of the best smartphones, but with Windows Mobile 6.5 practically doomed because of Windows Phone 7 Series, it didn’t seem like a logical choice to buy one, along with the Sprint EVO 4G making its debut 2 days ago.

But buyers have proved everyone otherwise. According to stores across the country, the HTC HD2 is practically sold out everywhere, within four hours. Windows Phone 7 anyone? Anyone? Looks like no one ever cared about it, after all.

Motorola CLIQ XT on T-Mobile for $129.99

March 17

So there it is. The ugliest Motorola handset to date. Running Android 1.5, MOTOBLUR, and is more like a keyboard-less CLIQ. For those of you strangely interested in said smartphone, there’s a 2-year agreement that you’ll have to agree with, then you’d be on your way to lunacy. Otherwise I’d suggest you buy a Droid, Devour, or CLIQ for that matter.

T-Mobile outs official HTC HD2 launch details: on March 24th, for $199

March 16

And there you have it. While we might have known this for some time now, it’s never too late to get your scoop from the source; T-Mobile in this case. Expect the 1GHz Snapdragon HTC HD2 with Windows Mobile 6.5 and Sense UI complete with a 4.3-inc screen to hit your local T-Mobile store on March 24th for $199 and ninety-nine pennies on contract, or $450 without one.

LEAKED: T-Mobile employees training for HTC Desire release?

March 10

As much as this is off the tip of the hat, so to speak, this might just be the real deal here folks. A recent leak is that the HTC Desire, the Sense UI counterpart of the Nexus One, is making its way to T-Mobile instead of AT&T, or in extraordinary cases, both. A ninja that seems pretty accurate says that after speaking to three T-Mobile retail store managers one of the employees responded:

“My manager said that [he/she] trained on a phone but was sworn to secrecy. It’s probably the Desire…[he/she] said it was awesome and it was Android.”

The second manager responded that the handset he/she was training with was not the CLIQ XT, but was “all touchscreen” and “large”. Pretty much fits the bill of the Desire right? Of course, this is just a margarita drizzled with salt, so don’t come banging on our door if it’s not real; we’re posting this because we love you guys.
