T-Mobile's myTouch 3G Slide, Powerful and Affordable

In a seemingly overcrowded smartphone market, the new myTouch 3G Slide from T-Mobile attempts to set itself apart by pairing the power of the Android operating system with exclusive apps and features. From its social networking capabilities to its innovative Genius button, this phone has something for everyone.

The myTouch 3G Slide comes with Android 2.1, customized exclusively for this phone, and can be upgraded to Android 2.2 when it becomes available. The large touch screen measures 3.4 inches diagonally, one of the largest on the market, and offers users a full QWERTY keyboard and an optical track pad for easy navigation. Despite having a sliding keyboard, the phone remains an ultra-thin 0.6 inches thick. On the backside of the phone is a 5 megapixel camera with flash, ready to capture crisp photos and video. The myTouch Slide also comes with an 8GB microSD card and software to easily fill the phone with music and videos from a home computer.
Three new features are introduced on this phone: myModes, the Faves Gallery, and the useful Genius button.

People use their phones differently when at work and while at home. The myModes feature allows the user to select a home or work mode, making the phone completely customizable with the apps and other features most handy when at work or home.

The Faves Gallery is used to quickly contact and stay informed on what your twenty favorite contacts are up to. The user selects their favorite contacts and from the Faves Gallery, each contact’s photo is displayed along with status updates and recent messages. With a simple selection, the user can send text messages, share photos, and make a call to one of their Faves.

The Genius button is the most sophisticated feature on the phone, unlocking its voice command capabilities. When the Genius button is pressed, the user can place a call by speaking a contact’s name, compose a text message through speech-to-text technology, or even search the web, all by using voice commands. The Genius button makes the myTouch 3G Slide the perfect hands-free mobile device. With a low starting price and tons of apps, the powerful T-Mobile myTouch 3G Slide packs quite a punch.
