New T-Mobile myTouch 3G Android Phone Announced

T-Mobile USA is following-up its G1 Android phone with the new T-Mobile myTouch 3G Android smart phone which will be available to pre-order for current T-Mobile customers starting July 8 for $199.99 with a two-year agreement.  The myTouch 3G Android Phone will ship in late July, in time for and early August release.

As this is T-Mobile's second Google Android powered device, myTouch 3G also features one-touch access to a host of Google services including Google Search by voice, Google Maps with Street View, YouTube and Picasa, as well as access to thousands of apps from the Android Market. As the name indicates, myTouch 3G is all about "touch," and it lacks the slide-out QWERTY keyboard found on the larger G1. The new phone has a 3.2-inch HVGA touch-screen display with virtual keyboard. myTouch 3G also features a 3.2-megapixel camera, video recording and sharing, a music player, a pre-installed 4GB microSD memory card, and  Wi-Fi.

myTouch 3G runs on T-Mobile’s fast 3G network, and it will be available in black, white, and merlot colors.

In addition to the virtually endless ways to personalize myTouch, plus its deep integration of Google services and the latest Android software, T-Mobile myTouch customers will enjoy access to new applications that enhance their mobile lives. One such application, and at the heart of myTouch, is Sherpa^™. Created by Geodelic, Sherpa features GENIE (Geodelic ENgine for Interest Evaluation), a learning engine that automatically customizes itself to the user’s preferences. Through behavior and user feedback, the application learns a person’s likes and dislikes, prioritizing recommended retailers, restaurants and attractions. Seamlessly blending behavior recognition, a recommendation engine and location relevant information, this combination of learning is exclusive to Sherpa and unlike any experience currently on the market.
