Maybe they should have called it the T-Mobile WhyBother?

Looks more like someone had some fun with Photoshop rather than this being an actual device. If it is in fact a real device….what a fail.

One more thing….why is T-Mobiles name attached to this? This is not something that T-Mo is releasing….at least not in the US.

@DroidDev Rob Jackson is the one “attaching” t-mobile name to it. This is not a t-mobile phone

I really really really really really really really really really really really really HOPE that tmobile doesn’t come out with this phone. Tmobiles point should start where the droid and eris end. Meaning they need to come out with competetive phones to other companies.stop comiing out with Rehashes of other phones ie mytouch to g1 minus the keyboard.Shouldn’t there be a vacancy for the phone choosing job in Tmobile. Someone from Phonedog or myself should look to fill that position. Tmobile needs a reality check. Once again I hope this is a really(let’s not start that again) bad joke. And looking at the specs its not a good joke!!! Step up tmobile step up.

Is it just me, or does windows copy everything that gets popular?

It kind of looks like a Mytouch met with a Droid Eris. Definitely some sort of HTC clone.
And I don’t think it has anything to do with windows copying anything. I think this company just copied the phone and threw WinMo 6.5 in there.

I vote worst story headline I’ve seen in a long time. Although the WhyTouch is a nice play on words, I agree with Josh. This has nothing to do with T-Mobile and is not a product marketed with that word play name.. It’s bad enough these guys are trying to make money off the look, but to put T-Mobiles name attached to it in a headline as if it was a product they offered is pretty crappy.. If you said.. T-Mobile myTouch: HTC Magic clone.., that would be acceptable, but in putting in your wordplay you have made it out that the T-Mobile WhyTouch is an actual T-Mobile product.

It actually one ups the MyTouch 3g by including a standard headphone jack.

Windows Mobile 6.5 isn’t really all that bad, but…..what’s with the purple theme? If anything, the purple theme with white chassis is what makes me want to throw up. Of course, you can probably change the color, but sheesh…..
