T-Mobile is adding two new handsets to its myTouch family, announcing the August arrival of a pair of inexpensive Android-powered, consumer-oriented smartphones.
The latest phones in the myTouch series will be manufactured by Hauwei, rather than HTC and LG like in years past. While the rumor mill had been churning for quite some time about these devices, T-Mobile finally confirmed whispers with an official unveiling this morning.
The T-Mobile myTouch and myTouch Q will feature identical specs, including a 4-inch WVGA display, 1.4GHz single-core processor and a 1,500mAh battery. Additionally, both phones are going to run Android 2.3 (Gingerbread) with a special customized user interface, and will offer 4GB of internal storage, with a microSD slot for expansion. Both will sport a 5 megapixel rear camera capable of taking 720p video and a 0.3MP front-facing shooter.
The myTouch Q will also feature a 4-row QWERTY keyboard, while both handsets will offer HSPA+ connectivity. In line with its predecessors, the myTouch and myTouch Q will each feature the Genius Button, a capacitive key underneath the display that sits next to the menu, home and back keys. The button allows for users to make calls, dictate texts, search the web and set up your navigation via voice dictation.
The myTouch and myTouch Q will hit stores August 8 and will hold an entry-level spot, with both models set to sell for $50, after a $50 mail-in rebate card. The myTouch will be available in black and dark red, while the myTouch Q will come in black and white.
For those who are feeling deja vu, these device have the exact same names as a pair of similar smartphones introduced by T-Mobile last year.
