Gingerbread may not be a very likely option, but T-Mobile myTouch 3G Slide users can now get a dessert of another sort (albeit a slightly stale one), as the phone has finally received an update to Android 2.2 (a.k.a. Froyo ). Unfortunately, there’s apparently no over-the-air update planned, and the software required for the installation is Windows-only, so anyone with a Mac looking to upgrade will have to find a PC-using friend willing to help them out. If you’re all set to go, however, you can download the update from HTC at the source link below.

May 27th, 2010 admin After taking a look at this launch deck for T-Mobile’s myTouch 3G Slide , it’s becoming more obvious than ever that T-Mobile is taking the myTouch brand very seriously — it’s not just about a product, it’s about an ongoing line of devices that all prescribe to the same socially-connected principles. In fact, with the effective loss of Sidekick to Verizon now that the ex-Danger team has thrown its weight behind Kin , you might even argue that the myTouch line is being positioned to take over where Sidekick left off, and that’s evidenced when you see that they’re referring to myTouch as a “franchise” throughout these slides. Follow the break for some of the highlights!

April 30th, 2010 jedwan After a brief delay , looks like CyanogenMod 5 is now out for the HTC Dream, Magic and Sapphire, also known as the T-Mobile G1 and myTouch 3G. The release is labeled as experimental, so take care not to flash it onto your work phone , and G1 owners should back up their data as they’ll need to install a little something called the DangerSPL (which has phone bricking potential) and perform a full wipe. If you’re the kind of individual who doesn’t shy away from software explicitly labeled “danger,” get cracking on that rooted Eclair at the source link. Update: Can’t get through? That’s because the sheer willpower of Android early adopters is crushing websites hosting the CM5 ROM like so many stale pretzels. Cyanogen is retweeting alternative options if you simply can’t wait for things to quiet down.

April 11th, 2010 admin Seeing HTC leak a shot of a product through a confidential FCC filing is about as rare as a confirmed yeti sighting, so you can imagine our excitement with this fresh meat that just landed in the Fed’s files today. What is it, exactly? Well, it’s a smartphone running 3G on WCDMA Band IV, which — for those who don’t have their bands memorized — is the AWS spectrum that T-Mobile uses. In other words, we’d bet our bottom dollar that this is the rumored Android-equipped myTouch Slide that we’re looking at here — and with a Spring launch window having been rumored in the past, this certification looks like it’s running right on time. Your move, T-Mobile. T-Mobile’s myTouch Slide earns its FCC wings? originally appeared on Engadget on Thu, 08 Apr 2010 18:23:00 EST. Please see our terms for use of feeds . Permalink

February 11th, 2010 jedwan As much gentle ribbing as the Fender rebranding of T-Mobile’s myTouch 3G has gotten, someone’s obviously buying the blasted things because the carrier’s been wiped clean of them — all 17,250 units, according to TmoNews . Sure enough, a quick check of T-Mobile’s site confirms that the device is listed as “temporarily out of stock,” but the problem is that “temporarily” might be a hell of a wait — it’s being claimed that we won’t see a fresh batch of these until April. Why the huge gap? It seems T-Mobile had to go back to HTC and place a second order for the phone, possibly a sign that even the carrier is shocked at the success of a year-old, warmed-over device with some fake wood and a corporate tie-in. Amazing what a little rock ‘n roll can do, isn’t it?

February 9th, 2010 admin Aww, will you look at that — our little buddy here is all boxed up with no place to go. See that little green “3.5mm jack” box on there? Yep, you’re looking at the non- Fender version of the mildly-tweaked myTouch 3G that finally features an honest way to enjoy music, but don’t feel too bad that he’s not on sale yet — current rumors have this pegged for retail tomorrow, so we’re sure he’ll find a good, clean home soon enough.

January 28th, 2010 admin The CLIQ isn’t having all the Android over-the-air update fun today — and unlike Motorola’s little debacle , this upgrade looks like it’s here to stay. The myTouch 3G has started receiving what appears to be the tiniest of cute little updates — so tiny, in fact, that it fixes just one bug: a dodgy missed call indicator that wasn’t showing up consistently. The bottom line is that you can’t expect Android 2.0 or 2.1 here — you’ll still be at 1.6, and if you’re intentionally not answering your phone, you may have actually preferred the bug anyhow. Let us know how your updates go, folks. T-Mobile myTouch 3G granted ultra-minor firmware update, too originally appeared on Engadget Mobile on Thu, 28 Jan 2010 22:31:00 EST.

January 20th, 2010 jedwan We’d already heard that T-Mobile’s new Fender edition myTouch 3G would be rolling out on January 20th, but we hadn’t had much indication about what sort of premium (if any) it would demand over the standard myTouch. Well, as you can see above, you will have to pay an extra $30 on top of the $150 the regular myTouch 3G currently demands (on-contract, naturally), but that will get you a bundled 16GB memory card, not to mention a genuine 3.5mm headphone jack, a few pre-loaded songs from Eric Clapton and others and, of course, that classy woodgrain finish. Not too shabby for an extra thirty bucks, if you ask us. T-Mobile’s Fender edition myTouch 3G now available for $180 originally appeared on Engadget on Wed, 20 Jan 2010 17:24:00 EST.

August 13th, 2009 jedwan Filed under: Handsets , HTC , T-Mobile , GSM , EDGE , HSDPA , Android These days, the whole ” I shipped a million! ” claim is becoming more and more common , but it’s still worth pointing out that HTC has managed to move a whole bundle of its Android-based myTouch 3G (or Magic , as it were) since debuting in April. Or, that’s the story, anyway. According to a dangerously brief blurb over at Digitimes , the outfit’s head honcho quipped that the Magic has “surpassed one million units,” and he also noted that it would begin to focus more on the mid-range market as opposed to always dealing devices at the high-end. So, raise your glass high for this one folks, and let the countdown to a million Hero handsets begin while you’re at it.

August 8th, 2009 jedwan Filed under: Handsets , LG , Samsung If this screen capture to be believed, August 23rd is gearing up to be one helluva day for phone lovers. According to this snapshot from Best Buy’s computers, that’s when LG’s desirable BL40 Chocolate Touch will be making its way into the consumer world, alongside a red Xenon and a bevy of Samsung phones including Omnia 2 , Rogue, and Solstice. No clue on what the Tour is doing up there dated for the 23rd, since it’s already out on both Verizon and Sprint, but perhaps a major shipment is in the works. As for that M330 for September 8th? Yeah, we’re not sure. Surrounding that tantalizing list from the top and bottom, respectively, are Samsung’s eco-conscious Reclaim — presumably listed for August 16th , although the date is obscured — and a red and black “G2″ from august 5th, which would undoubtedly be referring to T-Mobile’s sophomore Android device, the myTouch 3G . Two weeks seem awfully close, but if this pans out, we certainly won’t be arguing.
