Most probably in August

According to some of the latest news on the Web, wireless carrier T-Mobile plans on releasing the Android-powered myTouch 3G on its airwaves somewhere between July 29 and August 3, with a price tag of $199.99. Undoubtedly, the handset (also known as the HTC Magic) is a great device, yet it seems that there are some voices stating that the price might be too leveraged for the capabilities of the phone.

The idea is that, compared to other high-end mobile phones currently available on the market, the myTouch 3G doesn't seem to bring such impressive features that would make users opt for it even if it costs more. One of such handsets would be the iPhone 3G, which now runs in the country for only $99 on a contract, and seems much more attractive than T-Mobile's Android phone, not to mention the fact that it comes to the US market a few months after the Magic has been launched in Europe.

In addition to the new T-Mobile myTouch 3G, the wireless operator also seems determined bring another HTC device in August, namely the HTC Touch Pro2, which is Windows Mobile-powered. The mobile phone was initially expected to come to the market in July and, although it was recently rumored to have been delayed much more, it seems that it will come towards the carrier's users sometime around August 12.

For the time being, the August release date hasn't been confirmed officially, though the company is reported to have said via its Twitter account that the handset would hit the shelves this summer. The HTC Touch Pro2 seems to be the third device coming from the Taiwanese manufacturer on the carrier's airwaves, as it joins not only the aforementioned T-Mobile myTouch 3G, but also the T-Mobile Dash 3G, another Windows Mobile-based phone (aka HTC Snap).
