T-Mobile myTouch 3G Slide gets priced, release date

"the myTouch 3G Slide, the successor to the first ever Android phone, the G1... The phone includes a 600 MHz ARM processor..."

The successor with a 400mhz weaker processor? Epic fail on T-mobs part.

EDIT: nvm I was thinking about the N1, but still, my point stands. the N1 is (and has been ) available on T-mob network. Not only that, but it's the ONLY phone running Android 2.2 at the moment.

myTouch is still a fail.

FAIL...by the time it comes out, the Droid will have 2.2 and will be blowing this thing out of the water for less money.

Last year, I went from the G1 to the HTC Touch Pro 2. I went from using android to windows mobile, but I had no trouble using it as a modem for my laptop. Keyboard is nice, and the screen can be tilted towards you when watching clips.

"The device has already been reviewed favorably over both the Droid and N1."

?And? Those are both old phones that cost a lot less. At the price they are selling it, it is competing with the HTC incredible...and it can't compete.

I seriously expected more...something that could at least compete with the incredible, or (at a lower price) could compete with the economy Android devices. Google may be great at rolling out an OS software, but not so good at the hardware side of things.

"The processor is a bit of a disappointment, yes, but it can be overclocked"
-So can all Android devices, even the incredible. It is the same chip as the droid, so it can't be overclocked much past 1200, even in ideal situations.

I have been holding out on an android phone because I want it all.
Currently have a samsung behold, was looking at the g1 but the size and lack of a flash stopped me.
With a 5mp Camera w/flash, std earphone jack, real keyboard, etc., this phone seems to have just about everything on my wish list except the snapdragon processor.

Would love some feedback from all of you who have myTouch Slide already, incl. battery life, processor speed (good enough?),glitches, speaker volume, signal strength, likes dislikes. Can you watch shows on it via hulu or other websites? GPS with voice nav (how is it?), my question was also posted on http://www.mytouchslideforum.com

Any comments are greatly appreciated.
