It's a step up from the G1, but for non-T-Mobile customers there are superior touch-screen smartphone choices...


Highs: Android operating system; beautiful 3.2-inch HVGA touchscreen; expandable memory; physical control buttons; lightweight

Lows: No 3.5mm headphone jack; no built-in memory; slow 3G Web connectivity; minimal T-Mobile 3G coverage

Introduction

Warning: This review is not as in-depth as we would like, so we will be updating it when we can. We got a chance to fiddle with the second-ever U.S. Android phone, the T-Mobile myTouch 3G made by HTC, for around 45 minutes at an introductory event yesterday. The myTouch became available for pre-order to current T-Mobile subscribers Wednesday, and will be available to all August 5 for at $199.99 (with a two-year service contract). Our initial quick-take verdict? This sleek, lightweight touchscreen smartphone offers several improvements to its predecessor, the G1. But one major similarity to the G1 and a third Android phone due later this year may keep many potential T-Mobile customers from touching myTouch.
