MyTouch 3G Slide FroYo Available

147


The successor to the MyTouch 3G, the Slide, has finally gotten an official taste of soft serve. The only catch is that it isn’t an OTA and users will need to make the effort to install it manually; though HTC has provided all of the neccesarry tools on their website.

Is this a welcome addition, or too little too late for a device that is closing in on its first birthday?

  1. HTC servers are crawling today. Here’s the mirror for the HTC Sync File: http://hotfile.com/dl/102662290/5cba4c1/htc-sync-setup.3.0.5511.exe.html

    There’s then the 158mb actual update file, which I can’t find a mirror for and don’t feel like waiting 3 hours to download it at 14 kbps. Can anyone find a mirror of the file?

  8. OMG! I thought I’d never see this update! I have long since moved on to the MyTouch 4g (which is a POS and I only get 1 bar of 4g at my house…hence why I’m going to Verizon this month to get the Thunderbolt)…anyways…

    I still have the old 3G and let my kids play with it…I thought Tmobile and HTC forgot about it. At least they finally took the time to get the update done for the owners of the 3G.

    Thanks for the update!!!
