I think I'll skip this one]]>Jul 8th 2009 12:39PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/08/mytouch-3g-hands-on-with-video/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/08/mytouch-3g-hands-on-with-video/Jul 8th 2009 12:55PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/08/mytouch-3g-hands-on-with-video/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/08/mytouch-3g-hands-on-with-video/Jul 8th 2009 12:56PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/08/mytouch-3g-hands-on-with-video/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/08/mytouch-3g-hands-on-with-video/
Engadget, is that all you can ding the myTouch/Magic/Ion as a hint to a 3G S?

3.5mm (and proprietary data connector, \cough\) is old school, and yesterday's news. miniUSB power+data and AD2P is the future...]]>Jul 8th 2009 12:44PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/08/mytouch-3g-hands-on-with-video/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/08/mytouch-3g-hands-on-with-video/
Any phone without a 3.5mm jack is a fail. Who the fuck wants to drain their battery listening to Bluetooth headsets which drop in and out all the time?]]>Jul 8th 2009 1:05PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/08/mytouch-3g-hands-on-with-video/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/08/mytouch-3g-hands-on-with-video/Jul 8th 2009 1:07PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/08/mytouch-3g-hands-on-with-video/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/08/mytouch-3g-hands-on-with-video/Jul 8th 2009 1:11PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/08/mytouch-3g-hands-on-with-video/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/08/mytouch-3g-hands-on-with-video/Jul 8th 2009 1:22PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/08/mytouch-3g-hands-on-with-video/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/08/mytouch-3g-hands-on-with-video/
I personally don't like using wired earphones/headsets and have no problem charging my phone in the car or at home. I never, ever run out of juice, so I don't see the big deal with moving to bluetooth. I doubt it's a huge difference between listening on wired earphones anyway.]]>Jul 8th 2009 1:28PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/08/mytouch-3g-hands-on-with-video/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/08/mytouch-3g-hands-on-with-video/
I'm with you. I actually leave my GPS on all day on my G1.
I don't stay out the house so much that I wouldn't be near a charger. So I would actually prefer bluetooth headphones...
If I actually listened to music on my phone that is.]]>Jul 8th 2009 1:43PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/08/mytouch-3g-hands-on-with-video/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/08/mytouch-3g-hands-on-with-video/Jul 8th 2009 1:46PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/08/mytouch-3g-hands-on-with-video/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/08/mytouch-3g-hands-on-with-video/
That jack actually did conform to all specifications. The designs for the plugs that did not fit made assumptions about the mounting environment that were not specified.]]>Jul 8th 2009 3:25PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/08/mytouch-3g-hands-on-with-video/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/08/mytouch-3g-hands-on-with-video/Jul 9th 2009 4:15AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/08/mytouch-3g-hands-on-with-video/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/08/mytouch-3g-hands-on-with-video/Jul 20th 2009 3:24PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/08/mytouch-3g-hands-on-with-video/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/08/mytouch-3g-hands-on-with-video/
What I would really want is a Blackberry Bold form, with a touchscreen, running Android. Someone make this phone please.]]>Jul 8th 2009 12:45PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/08/mytouch-3g-hands-on-with-video/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/08/mytouch-3g-hands-on-with-video/Jul 8th 2009 12:50PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/08/mytouch-3g-hands-on-with-video/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/08/mytouch-3g-hands-on-with-video/http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/27/back-to-the-drawing-board-kogan-working-on-a-redesigned-agora/

But they have no RAM...so no need.

I'll wait for Hero or Rachel (if it is indeed real)]]>Jul 8th 2009 1:12PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/08/mytouch-3g-hands-on-with-video/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/08/mytouch-3g-hands-on-with-video/Jul 8th 2009 2:59PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/08/mytouch-3g-hands-on-with-video/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/08/mytouch-3g-hands-on-with-video/Jul 8th 2009 3:59PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/08/mytouch-3g-hands-on-with-video/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/08/mytouch-3g-hands-on-with-video/
The OS and software is definitely improving, What is up with having the same crappy hardware as the G1? Where are the Android phones with an ARM Cortex-A8 based CPU or Snapdragon? And a PowerVB SGX? And I can't wait for WVGA screens.]]>Jul 8th 2009 6:30PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/08/mytouch-3g-hands-on-with-video/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/08/mytouch-3g-hands-on-with-video/Jul 8th 2009 9:13PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/08/mytouch-3g-hands-on-with-video/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/08/mytouch-3g-hands-on-with-video/Jul 14th 2009 7:18PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/08/mytouch-3g-hands-on-with-video/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/08/mytouch-3g-hands-on-with-video/

THAT is the handset to beat now theoretically.

But as far as literals go...yes, Hero is the device to beat. Or even maybe Huawei (when they start showing some UI screens and give us specs on flash and RAM)]]>Jul 8th 2009 1:14PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/08/mytouch-3g-hands-on-with-video/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/08/mytouch-3g-hands-on-with-video/Jul 8th 2009 2:49PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/08/mytouch-3g-hands-on-with-video/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/08/mytouch-3g-hands-on-with-video/Jul 8th 2009 8:26PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/08/mytouch-3g-hands-on-with-video/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/08/mytouch-3g-hands-on-with-video/
1) Release product that is only a modest upgrade of your earlier offering (G1)

2) Release product so late into its life cycle that users can already see other, more attractive options just over the horizon.

3) Once you get around to releasing it, draw out the release and delivery process as long as possible.

4) Market the product so schizophrenically that no one group feels like a target audience. Is it a customizable teenager's toy? Is it a business user's device with exchange support? Is it a makeup accessory with that little zipper case it ships in?

5) Sell product for maximum dollar to non-contract holders.

6) Put stupid effeminate "my" badges across the entire thing.

Whoever is putting together Tmo's roadmap needs to get canned. I'm a loyal customer, but this is a big fail for them.

Next.

Blackberry Driftwood or Samsung Galaxy please. ]]>Jul 8th 2009 1:03PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/08/mytouch-3g-hands-on-with-video/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/08/mytouch-3g-hands-on-with-video/Jul 8th 2009 1:06PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/08/mytouch-3g-hands-on-with-video/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/08/mytouch-3g-hands-on-with-video/Jul 8th 2009 1:08PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/08/mytouch-3g-hands-on-with-video/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/08/mytouch-3g-hands-on-with-video/
Apple leading the industry yet again!

I take it that's what you were inferring, Patrick?]]>Jul 8th 2009 1:15PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/08/mytouch-3g-hands-on-with-video/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/08/mytouch-3g-hands-on-with-video/
For the normal consumer...all touch is the "in" thing.
And the fact nobody knew it even existed til it reached american soil is another plus.

T-Mobile knows that the G1 is basically a test device. That's why they are putting this device (which is NO real type of upgrade) as its flagship Android device.]]>Jul 8th 2009 1:15PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/08/mytouch-3g-hands-on-with-video/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/08/mytouch-3g-hands-on-with-video/Jul 8th 2009 1:22PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/08/mytouch-3g-hands-on-with-video/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/08/mytouch-3g-hands-on-with-video/

That said, I've tried both and I think the standard Android keyboard is better by a mile.]]>Jul 8th 2009 1:04PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/08/mytouch-3g-hands-on-with-video/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/08/mytouch-3g-hands-on-with-video/Jul 8th 2009 1:16PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/08/mytouch-3g-hands-on-with-video/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/08/mytouch-3g-hands-on-with-video/Jul 8th 2009 1:23PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/08/mytouch-3g-hands-on-with-video/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/08/mytouch-3g-hands-on-with-video/
I've seen the demos of that...and I do have to say, that is the better keyboard =]

But I'm not ready to shell out for a keyboard just yet since the HTC one is doing me fine.]]>Jul 8th 2009 1:45PM
