There are already 6 members in T-Mobile myTouch lineup, such as high-end HTC mytouch models to free-with-contract, entry-level LG myTouch units. These two are the seventh and eighth phones aimed at entry-level users. But they all have a same thing - each phone in the series runs a version of the Android software stack.
It's disappoint that neither of the new myTouch smartphones will have Android's latest OS. Instead, they are coming with Android 2.3, but offer other improvements over the handsets before.
Both a better voice control feature and T-Mobile’s simple setup wizard are highlights. The two will come with the Genius Button 4.0. This gives users enhanced speech control featuring Dragon’s speech engine from Nuance. Then, customers are allowed to use their voice to search the web, launch apps, and make reservations.
This year's myTouch models own a 4.0-inch WVGA at 480 x 800 with a 1.4GHz processor and five-megapixel camera. A front-facing camera and 1500mAh battery are the only other key features of both myTouch handsets, which will take advantage of T-Mobile's HSPA+ "4G" network.Keyboard is the big difference between the myTouch and the myTouch Q. myTouch Q has a physical keyboard while myTouch doesn't. Smartphones with hardware keyboards seem to be a rarity these days, but T-Mobile has a long tradition with QWERTY phones that harkens back to the Sidekick days.
There are many apps provided by software companies in Android Market for users to play office documents, such as Mobile Document Viewer. It's also an easy way to play powerpoint on myTouch. But there is still some places needed to be improved. Most of these apps are supported by browser. So, the formats in original powerpoint document are not sure to be shown as the same. For a better shown, the best way is keeping everything the same in a video - convert powerpoint to mp4. Then, all worries will disappear.
Available on August 8, the 2012 myTouch will be available in black or dark red, while the myTouch Q comes in black or white; both sell for $49.99 after $50 mail-in rebate card with qualifying two-year agreement.
