T-Mobile myTouch 3G Coming Soon!

With the release of the myTouch 3g from T-Mobile just a few weeks away, the buzz seems to be dampened by other smart phones. With just a few differences between the first T-Mobile G1 and the myTouch 3G I’m just not sure if it’s enough to rush out and purchase one.  The design of the new phone is a little more nimble.  The keyboard has gone away, the battery life has improved to 420 hours of stand by time, Microsoft Exchange support, the form factor is a little smaller but thats about it.  It still has the same 3.2inch display (320×480 resolution), Wi-Fi and Bluetooth, 192mb Ram / 256mb Rom, and a 3.15MP autofocus camera.  Missing in the new phone is a 3.5mm audio jack and camera flash. The price point seems to be off as well.  With a $199 price tag, they are in the same arena as the iPhone 3gs and Palm Pre which I believe are still the leaders. Pre-orders began July 8th and myTouch fanatics should begin to see the phones arriving late July.
