According to the guys over at MobileSyrup, the MyTouch 4G will soon be launched by Videotron as HTC Glacier.
Given the fact that Mobilicity is focusing its operations in five major cities in Canada (Toronto, Calgary, Edmonton, Vancouver and Ottawa), Quebec customers in search of a decent Android smartphone will be happy that Videotron decided to pick the device.

Although there's no confirmation, it appears that the phone will run HTC Sense 2.1 UI on top of Google's platform.
