I Pod Phone

T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide review

It's easy to mistake the myTouch 4G Slide for the myTouch 4G when seeing it for the first time. Both phones look almost identical from the front -- at 3.7 inches, the Slide's glass-covered WVGA capacitive touchscreen is only 0.1 inches smaller than its slate cousin. It features the same baroque earpiece and chrome rim around the screen. Like other myTouch devices, it comes with a row of four bona fide physical buttons (home, menu, back, and "Genius") plus an oh-so-retro optical trackpad above the signature chin. The silver ring around the front-facing camera lives on, along with the myTouch logo and notification LED. Flip the Slide over and it's a much more cohesive design. Gone is the myTouch 4G's mishmash of surfaces and textures, replaced instead by a silver accent along the edges of handset and a matte, off-white "khaki" battery door / back cover with a large, slick, machined aluminum pod incorporating the camera (the phone is also available in a more austere gunmetal and black color scheme). The words "8.0 MEGAPIXEL CAMERA" are prominently etched on the pod, which is flanked by a dual LED flash and a secondary microphone. A molded HTC logo and the speaker grille populate the other half of the back. On the sides of the Slide you'll find a standard 3.5 mm headphone jack and power / lock key on top, a volume rocker and micro-USB connector on the left, the primary microphone, a slot to pry the cover, plus a lanyard attachment at the bottom, and finally, a dedicated two-stage camera button on the right. The myTouch 4G Slide is as pleasant to handle as it is to look at. It's a solid, well-made device with a heft that inspires confidence despite the extensive use of plastics. Both the weight (184g / 6.5oz) and thickness (13.2mm / 0.52in) are on par with other sliders ( HTC's G2 comes to mind). Still, it can feel somewhat bulky if you're accustomed to slates like the myTouch 4G. Pop the back cover and you're greeted by a 1520mAh battery that's also compatible with the Sensation, SIM slot, and microSD card reader (an 8GB card is supplied). There's an interesting design touch here: the camera is mounted in a machined aluminum cylinder which is partially anodized in a beautiful shade of apple green. Sadly this is most obvious when the battery door is removed, and will likely go unnoticed by the casual observer. Sliding the handset open reveals a staggered four-row QWERTY keyboard with black keys on a silver faux-aluminum background.

Teen girls choosing BlackBerry over iPhone in the UK | CrackBerry.com

We see the same thing here, bigbamboo!

Now, we know why the new BB 7 Curve is so important!

Actually, I was thinking... although the new devices will be late for back-to-school shoppers, the new BBs did force the price down on the existing devices quite a bit making them more affordable for the back-to-school crowd. So, if you really think about it, RIM really didn't miss the back-to-school shopping. Great deals are to be had for a new Torch 9800, Curve 3G, and Bold 9780.

The new devices would be priced much higher than most kids could afford anyway.

 

I've read about this a few times. Young girls seem to love the interactiveness of BBM and of course the boys follow along.......

It does seem that its a viral thing that one girl gets a BBerry and then others follow and before you know it, everyone in the school has one.

My son only wanted a BBerry and I think I know why.......

I'm very interested to see how iChat fares.

 

The adults that I know who have the iPhone seem to be the ones that image is very important to them - they have to have the designer this and that and the Beemer....the ones who feel the need to impress constantly....that's just my observation

I need a workhorse that is dependable, reliable, and can take a beating (from the tile floor it gets dropped on all the time).

My prediction when the Bold Touch and Curve Touch comes out the biggest demographic buying it will be teens.

My son wants a BlackBerry so bad, but he has to figure out how he'll pay for the data plan. I'll chip in for the voice plan but the deal is that he'll have to pay for the data. Hey, nothing in life is free.

In his school, I'll say that BlackBerrys outnumber iPhones more than 2-1. Reason: BBM. Apple hopes to change that with iMessage. Now you'll have two camps. In the meanwhile, RIM will have to convince folks to try out the new BB 7 devices rather than flocking to the iPhone 5.

Eventually, someone will come out with a common messaging platform to run on BlackBerrys and iPhones. There are some possible options today. Skype is another. It's too bad you can't video Skype on the new devices because THERE IS NO FRONT CAM!!! Grrrh! (sorry, my little gripe!).

Once RIM unties BBM from the device PIN to BlackBerry ID, it will open doors to running BBM on other devices as well. I saw one fellow claiming to run BBM on an iPhone on YouTube. Not sure how they did that.
