14 DAY TRIAL // Wireless carrier T-Mobile is reportedly working on a new version of the popular T-Mobile myTouch 3G handset, one that should make an appearance on the market as soon as February 10 is here. The main change that the new version of the handset will bring forth is said to be the inclusion of a 3.5 mm headphone jack, something that lacked in the first variant, BGR notes.
Other than that, it seems that the new flavor will be the same as the old one. However, most of you might have learned already that a myTouch 3G Fender Limited Edition will also be launched on the market in the near future, and that it sports a few more features than the original, mainly related to the phone's music capabilities. With that Android 2.1 version of Google's operating system promised for the near future, the revamped myTouch 3G should appeal more to users than the original did.
However, the word on the street is that T-Mobile might consider the addition of other new handsets to its lineup as well, including that myTouch 'Slide' that already emerged into the wild as the Espresso, and the Motorola Zeppelin, which was spotted quite a few times around the web last year. Nothing is certain at the moment, yet TmoNews says that these phones might indeed arrive at Magenta.
In related news, we learn that some good things might be coming to the users of a T-Mobile G1 too. To be more precise, the rumors suggest that the handset is set to receive an update to the Android 2.0 operating system before the end of this month. According to the same TmoNews, a moderator on an internal T-Mobile Forum broke the news, so something might prove true in the end.
Most of you might know by now that G1 was said a few times before to have been left outside the Android 2.0 bandwagon already. Motorola DROID was the first handset to run under this platform version and, ever since it arrived in November, things seemed rather gloomy for G1 users. This might change in the near future, but we wouldn't dare hope too much.
