T-Mobile has formally unveiled its second Android-powered handset. The myTouch 3G sports a 3.5in touch screen along with a 3.5-megapixel camera and a pre-installed 4GB microSD memory card.
Like the G1, the myTouch will use Google's Android mobile platform. The handset will also be equipped with a new preference tool called Sherpa which automatically suggests locations, sites and applications based on user interests.
The company hopes that the new handset will help it push into the consumer market by offering a device which can be more easily personalised.
"T-Mobile myTouch 3G puts you first, so you can create a mobile experience that is truly your own," said T-Mobile US chief marketing officer Denny Marie Post.
"There's no cookie-cutter approach to myTouch. Inside and out, there are boundless possibilities for personalisation so you can put your touch on the phone and make it uniquely yours."
The myTouch 3G is the latest product to be announced in what has been a busy summer for T-Mobile. Along with rolling out a major software update for the G1 handset, the company is said to be working on a number of new Android-based devices.
The news of T-Mobile's new device comes on the same day that Apple is celebrating a milestone for its latest iPhone model.
In announcing that the iPhone 3G S had sold one million units in its first three days, Apple chief executive Steve Jobs declared that "customers are voting and the iPhone is winning".

T Mobile Android
Duh, this looks like another "iPhone 1st gen phone". Who was it who started the touch screen mobile space again? Now all these copycats make it sound like they have suddenly discovered they are meeting "consumer demand".

Its not too late T-mobile, but you got to do little better
I always wanted the I-Phone, but dread At&T and Cingular service, they suck.. I love my T-mobile service.. but they got to get to the curve faster and better... at least come down on the price for this one.. it can't be the same price as the I-phone and offer less... that's just not the way to go.
