HTC T-Mobile myTouch 4G, The Slickest Device Ever!


Coming hot on the heels of the ultra-impressive G2, T-Mobile has returned to its myTouch series with the myTouch 4G with Android 2.2. While the G2 is the natural enthusiast flagship, the 4G represents a flagship in its own right of a skinned, curated Android experience.  Some impressive functionality inside and out, including a front facing camera for video calls, HSPA+ network speeds, and WiFi Calling.



Spec-wise, the myTouch 4G pretty much has it all. The 3.8-inch 800 x 480 really "pops" color and brightness-wise, although the viewing angles don't quite match Super AMOLED or the best LCDs we've seen. Under the hood there's the same second-gen 1GHz Qualcomm QSD8255 "Scorpion" Snapdragon processor that powers the Desire HD, and the same 768MB of RAM. A sizable 1400mAh battery provides plenty of juice to get through a day of pretty hefty use. Storage-wise there's an 8GB microSD card included (which is nicely accessible without removing the battery), and 4GB of built-in storage, though there's only about 1GB of that available to the user. Best thing is HTC myTouch 4g repair parts are cheap and easily available.

T-Mobile has included WiFi Calling on this phone. Basically, you just run the WiFi Calling app, register your current WiFi network, and select if you prefer WiFi calls or cellular calls in absence of the other, or want to go WiFi only. Then, for as long as you're on the WiFi, your incoming and outgoing calls will be routed through WiFi.

The 5 megapixel camera is pretty good. The UI is very nice, with tap-to-focus, relatively in-depth image adjustments (ISO, exposure, saturation, contrast) and some built-in filters. The 720p video is pretty good, you can switch in-between camera and video modes nearly instantly, and recording starts instantly as well. Footage is nicely saturated and not too terribly compressed, and even quick pans and tilts look fine, although there's no avoiding the regular shake of a non-stabilized handheld camera like this.

In place of the typical search button, there's a stylized "G" that launches a voice-controlled app. The voice control is powered by Nuance, the guys behind Dragon Naturally Speaking, and to their credit, it's some of the best voice recognition around.

Overall, the myTouch 4G hits almost every checkbox when it comes to features and functionality.  Other features includes Free Voice-guided GPS, HSPA+, Wi-Fi hotspot, SWYPE, Dragon Dictation, Social integration with Facebook, Twitter, a solid look and much more. If you don't need a physical keyboard, this phone is as close to perfect as you can get right now. Feels really solid. Highly customizable. Usually HTC myTouch 4g Repair Services are not so much costly. Sense UI does look great. Extremely fast. Tethering is legally available. Browsing the web is awesome. Google voice search and Google Earth work seamlessly. Battery lasts 2 days with moderate usage (turning wifi, bluetooth, gps and sync only when needed). Packaging and accessories are very durable and look awesome.
