Here comes a new edition in the family of the Android™ powered phones. This time it’s T-Mobile that took off the curtain from its new device called myTouch 3G Slide, which will be available to the network from the month of June 2010. From the previous myTouch mobile phones, the new version with 3G Slide is definitely more advanced and impactful. It comes loaded with a new interface for the Android™ users, a full QWERTY keyboard and a bigger and better touch screen display. It is definitely one step ahead from the other Android™ devices like Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 mini-pro , rather it follows the same route that HTC Google Nexus One has taken - Android™ OS, v2.1 (Eclair).
