14 DAY TRIAL // T-Mobile USA has just listed LG myTouch and myTouch Q Android smartphones on its “Coming Soon” webpage.
This comes as a confirmation of the recently leaked T-Mobile roadmap for the rest of the year, which lists both phones as LG Maxx and LG Maxx Q.
According to the latest hearsay, the handsets should be available for purchase beginning November 2 at a price that will be announced in due time.
Although the full specs sheets of the smartphones have yet to be released, T-Mobile USA mentions several highlights of the devices, which puts them in the mid-range category.
T-Mobile describes the upcoming LG myTouch as “beautifully simple - easy to learn and use - and it’s also a slim, advanced, full touch-screen Android-powered smartphone.”
The handset is equipped with a single core 1 GHz processor and sports a 5-megapixel camera with video recording capabilities.
In addition, the phone comes with a Genius button that allows users to make calls, send messages, search the Web, or find things nearby with a simple voice command.
LG myTouch's 1500 mAh Li-Ion battery is rated by the carrier for up to 19 days of standby time or up to 9 hours of talk time.
The second Android smartphone soon to be released by T-Mobile, LG myTouch Q has similar hardware and software configuration, but comes with a full slide-out QWERTY keyboard.
However, the phone's 1500 mAh Li-Ion battery provides less autonomy than LG myTouch, as the carrier states only 12 days for standby time and 3.3 hours for talk time.
Other highlights of the phones include 4G support, Wi-Fi and Bluetooth connectivity, microSD card slot for memory expansion, GPS with navigation capability, as well as Swype keyboard app.
The Android phones also come pre-loaded with carrier's T-Mobile Mall and T-Mobile TV services.
