According to the company, the new mobile phone is set to become available for purchase in June, bringing to the table a spacious QWERTY keyboard, a great touchscreen display, and the latest Android software. T-Mobile myTouch 3G Slide was designed with communication in mind, boasting features that enable users to connect more easily with friends and family.

The new T-Mobile myTouch 3G Slide comes to the market with a series of features that are exclusively available for its users. Among them, we can count the Faves Gallery, which presents up to 20 favorite people and the manners in which one can communicate with them; myModes, through which one can create different themes for work and home, which can be switched at a designated time or manually; and the Genius Button, powered by Dragon Dictation from Nuance Communications, through which one can control the device using voice commands.
myTouch 3G Slide runs under the Android 2.1 operating system and offers a rich mobile Web experience, coupled with access to the Android Market, where users will find a thousand of apps available for download. The phone has been designed exclusively for T-Mobile, sporting a 3.4-inch HVGA touch-screen display, a slide-out QWERTY keyboard and a 5-megapixel photo snapper. The handset also includes a pre-installed 8GB microSD memory card, Wi-Fi and 3G connectivity, e-mail, MMS capabilities, and the possibility to easily upload photos and videos on sites like YouTube and Picasa.
