T-Mobile MyTouch 3G Reviews

CNet
"Nice Display but wheres the 3.5mm audio jack?"
Gizmodo
"MT3G same as Google Ion"
PC World
"Too little, Too late?"
Mobile Crunch
"It’s smaller, sexier, and way better looking than the G1"
InfoSyncWorld
"Digging through the Google Market will reveal some hidden treasures that go a long way to improve the interface and basic features on the phone, but we wish some of these apps were simply bundled on the device, and a few features, like corporate contacts sync or video playback, still have no first-class options for the Android platform. The T-Mobile myTouch 3G is a stylish sign of things to come, but we're already waiting for what's next."
Mobile Crunch
"should current G1 owners upgrade to the myTouch 3G? If you don’t mind a cramped virtual keyboard (portrait only, landscope is fine) and you’re in dire need of Exchange support, then go for it. If I was new to the whole T-Mobile/Android scene, I’d go with the myTouch. It’s smaller, sexier, and way better looking than the G1. You’ll miss the QWERTY keyboard at first, but you’ll adapt. It’s not as bad as you’d expect."
Phone Arena
"The T-Mobile G1 has been the only Android powered device offered to US consumers since the fall. To tell you the truth, the myTouch 3G is the perfect device for those who didn't like the hefty form-factor of the G1 and prefer a virtual QWERTY. Other than that, it remains faithful to what we've already seen with the HTC Magic. It may not make quite a splash, but we're sure this will garner some attention from Android lovers."
Mobile Burn
"While the phone is largely a success, it has some weak points. Battery life is still less than one would hope for, explaining T-Mobile's decision to sell battery extenders, and the camera performance still leaves much to be desired. We've also suffered from a bit of multi-touch envy after having spent time with HTC's Hero. In spite of those shortcomings, the T-Mobile myTouch 3G is a great phone for day to day use. And as such, we give it a "Highly Recommended" rating."
Android Central
"The myTouch 3G Fender Limited Edition -- and the original myTouch 3G -- is a solid part of T-Mobile's Android lineup. Problem is, it's no longer at the top of the lineup, at least when it comes to technical specs. That crown is worn by the Nexus One."
Laptop Mag
"The $199 myTouch 3G is a svelte and well-rounded smart phone, and it’s a very good choice for T-Mobile customers. However, while the virtual keyboard on the myTouch 3G is good, it’s not as easy to use as an iPhone. And although there are a lot more applications in the Android Market now, including some you won’t find in Apple’s storefront, the App Store still has ten times the selection. Nevertheless, if you’re choosing between the myTouch 3G and the G1, we think you’ll enjoy the sleeker design, personalization options, and longer battery life offered by the myTouch 3G."

HTC Wildfire, Magic (myTouch 3G), and G1 Latest to Receive Honeycomb Ports [Video]

Honeycomb is beginning to reach back into the archives with a couple of new ports for older devices. By older, we mean two of the original Gs to hit the scene, the T-Mobile G1 and the myTouch 3G. This further spits in the face of the notion that Honeycomb requires a set of minimum specifications, [...]

MyTouch 3G FroYo Distribution Window Extended

Originally the MyTouch 3G 1.0 was supposed to have its FroYo roll out completed by 25 October. That window has now been extended to 15 December.

G1 and MyTouch Still Moving Along With Froyo Thanks to Cyanogen and Friends

It was once believed that the T-Mobile G1 (aka Android Dev Phone 1 in the developer circuit and HTC Dream in other parts of the world) could never die: it was, after all, the first Android device ever created that brought about a ridiculous amount of support from nearly every major player in every part [...]

CyanogenMod Targeting Eight Devices for Android 2.2

Now that Google has open-sourced the code for Froyo (Android 2.2) you better believe the folks at CyanogenMod aren’t just going to sit on their hands and wait for the manufacturer’s to port the OS to their phones.

[Update] Original Android Phones Possibly Receive First (Unofficial) Port of Froyo

It’s only been one day since Google announced Android 2.2 and released the SDK to the public (and it’s been less than an hour since we reported that Froyo would technically be able to run on older phones such as the T-Mobile G1), and now a bootable ROM has already (supposedly) been ported to both [...]

MyTouch 3G To Get An Upgrade To Android 2.1

I knew that when the T-Mobile G1 and  the T-Mobile myTouch 3G were released, they’d be destined for an OTA gas chamber as their under-spec’d hardware proved too little to handle Android’s ambitious growth. While the MyTouch 3G has always been a bit more capable (in terms of ROM space, at least), the future looked [...]

The guitar styled hotness that was the MyTouch 3G Fender Edition is no more – the device has sold out. Rumor also has it that regular MyTouch 3G phones are low on supply as the Black MyTouch 3G is no longer an option for upgraders. The likely cause? A MyTouch 1.2 that adds a 3.5mm [...]
