LOL!...What does that mean?

Are they accepting that the myTouch sucks but you should buy it anyways for self expression.

multi touch on my magic aswell as all the new HTC gadgets, it also has the added functionality for the camera.

If anyone is waiting for the hero thats a pretty low move, the only difference is that the hero has a headphone jack, better camera and higher price tag.

They both have the same screen, same amount of RAM, same processor-

Most people know by know that the Hero has 288MB of RAM (just like the Rogers' HTC Magic) meaning that it runs the HTC Sense user interface without much lag. The myTouch only has 192 MB of RAM (just like the Vodafone HTC Magic) and many of said that it is so laggy that its not worth to put it on your device. I doubt there will be an "optimized" version for the lower RAM versions since HTC has no incentive to do so really, with the Hero coming right around the corner.]]>Jul 8th 2009 11:39AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/08/t-mobiles-mytouch-3g-launch-event-pre-orders-now-available/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/08/t-mobiles-mytouch-3g-launch-event-pre-orders-now-available/Jul 8th 2009 11:47AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/08/t-mobiles-mytouch-3g-launch-event-pre-orders-now-available/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/08/t-mobiles-mytouch-3g-launch-event-pre-orders-now-available/

Unfortunately you can't get that same deal on the website or a preorder, but the T-Mobile store employees have a lot more leeway at their disposal to get you to extend your contract. It works every time though; I've been doing it every 12 months for the last 5 years or so.

The Hero has slightly better hardware specs (especially with the inclusion of the headphone jack) and arguably better software (though they still run the same library of apps), but the hardware itself just doesn't have any sex appeal with its boxy shape and gigantic angled chin.

I think the MyTouch probably just fits into their roadmap for the year a little better right now, which is why they aren't in a big rush to get the Hero out the door. Kind of a bummer, because I'd like to see the Hero hit in the US sooner rather than later, but I think I see where they're coming from. Maybe we'll luck out and HTC will show up in a few months with a phone rocking the Hero's software and specs in a package as pretty as the MyTouch and everybody can get the best of both worlds.]]>Jul 8th 2009 12:44PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/08/t-mobiles-mytouch-3g-launch-event-pre-orders-now-available/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/08/t-mobiles-mytouch-3g-launch-event-pre-orders-now-available/Jul 8th 2009 2:18PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/08/t-mobiles-mytouch-3g-launch-event-pre-orders-now-available/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/08/t-mobiles-mytouch-3g-launch-event-pre-orders-now-available/Jul 8th 2009 12:35PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/08/t-mobiles-mytouch-3g-launch-event-pre-orders-now-available/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/08/t-mobiles-mytouch-3g-launch-event-pre-orders-now-available/Jul 8th 2009 1:47PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/08/t-mobiles-mytouch-3g-launch-event-pre-orders-now-available/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/08/t-mobiles-mytouch-3g-launch-event-pre-orders-now-available/Jul 8th 2009 3:31PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/08/t-mobiles-mytouch-3g-launch-event-pre-orders-now-available/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/08/t-mobiles-mytouch-3g-launch-event-pre-orders-now-available/Jul 8th 2009 12:43PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/08/t-mobiles-mytouch-3g-launch-event-pre-orders-now-available/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/08/t-mobiles-mytouch-3g-launch-event-pre-orders-now-available/
Don't get me wrong, more is always better in this case, but I don't think internal storage alone can qualify the Galaxy as a "MUCH better device" when it isn't really a major issue with the MyTouch or the Hero.]]>Jul 8th 2009 12:48PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/08/t-mobiles-mytouch-3g-launch-event-pre-orders-now-available/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/08/t-mobiles-mytouch-3g-launch-event-pre-orders-now-available/
I currently have a rooted G1 that I'm running a version of the HTC Hero ROM on; it performs well for the most part with certain optimizations and modifications, but it requires the apps to be run from the microSD, as well as some overclocking and a swapper application (similar to Windows' "page-file" usage). I can only imagine what would be possible with 8GB of internal memory and a faster processor, PLUS a 16 or 32GB of microSD support. Rooted with the SENSE UI or the new RACHAEL UI? Hello iPhone-Killer. =]
