I'd love a guitar themed Zune. ]]>Jan 21st 2010 3:26PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/20/t-mobiles-fender-edition-mytouch-3g-now-available-for-180/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/20/t-mobiles-fender-edition-mytouch-3g-now-available-for-180/Jan 20th 2010 5:28PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/20/t-mobiles-fender-edition-mytouch-3g-now-available-for-180/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/20/t-mobiles-fender-edition-mytouch-3g-now-available-for-180/Jan 20th 2010 5:31PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/20/t-mobiles-fender-edition-mytouch-3g-now-available-for-180/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/20/t-mobiles-fender-edition-mytouch-3g-now-available-for-180/
Then no interest at all in it. haha]]>Jan 20th 2010 5:33PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/20/t-mobiles-fender-edition-mytouch-3g-now-available-for-180/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/20/t-mobiles-fender-edition-mytouch-3g-now-available-for-180/
May I ask what the difference between the two is?

I actually like this phone a lot, but the lack of a 3.5mm headphone jack on the "regular" myTouch is a near-killer for me. It looks like this Fender version has the 3.5mm jack and a 16 GB card which seems nearly perfect and worth the $30 premium.]]>Jan 20th 2010 5:47PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/20/t-mobiles-fender-edition-mytouch-3g-now-available-for-180/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/20/t-mobiles-fender-edition-mytouch-3g-now-available-for-180/
The 32a board has more ram. It is identical, specwise, to the HTC Hero.
I can honestly say that you should go with the nexus over this.

In Canada we have been assured that the HTC Magic sold by Rogers will get the Android 2 update. I believe it is a 32A.

If the T-Mobile myTouch truly is a 32B - so it has significantly less RAM then the Magic - then it is likely it will never get 2.x.

Unfortunately the wiki article is not clear on this issue:

Regardless, there is absolutely no reason to get this over the Nexus One.]]>Jan 20th 2010 6:33PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/20/t-mobiles-fender-edition-mytouch-3g-now-available-for-180/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/20/t-mobiles-fender-edition-mytouch-3g-now-available-for-180/
I see people saying to get a N1 instead, but from what I gather, that requires an $80/mo bill, while if you buy something like this myTouch, you can get 500 talk.txt/web for $60/mo (no contract). That's a decent sum of money over the course of a couple of years.

Then again, I might be wrong on the monthly costs for the N1, but Google's online buying page is crap - doesn't even offer to let you see plan details without filling in all your personal info.

I am not completely convinced which way I want to go for my next phone, but trying to weigh in different options now before my current plan expires.]]>Jan 20th 2010 6:45PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/20/t-mobiles-fender-edition-mytouch-3g-now-available-for-180/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/20/t-mobiles-fender-edition-mytouch-3g-now-available-for-180/Jan 20th 2010 7:01PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/20/t-mobiles-fender-edition-mytouch-3g-now-available-for-180/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/20/t-mobiles-fender-edition-mytouch-3g-now-available-for-180/Jan 20th 2010 5:29PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/20/t-mobiles-fender-edition-mytouch-3g-now-available-for-180/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/20/t-mobiles-fender-edition-mytouch-3g-now-available-for-180/Jan 20th 2010 5:31PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/20/t-mobiles-fender-edition-mytouch-3g-now-available-for-180/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/20/t-mobiles-fender-edition-mytouch-3g-now-available-for-180/Jan 20th 2010 5:35PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/20/t-mobiles-fender-edition-mytouch-3g-now-available-for-180/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/20/t-mobiles-fender-edition-mytouch-3g-now-available-for-180/

No, actually, you can't. If you're an existing T-Mobile customer, or you want to have a family plan, then the Nexus One costs $350 more than this phone does. Only an extremely narrow percentage of customers are actually entitled to the subsidized price on the Nexus One, while the $180 price for the Fender MyTouch is available to everyone who has a line with an upgrade available.]]>Jan 21st 2010 9:49AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/20/t-mobiles-fender-edition-mytouch-3g-now-available-for-180/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/20/t-mobiles-fender-edition-mytouch-3g-now-available-for-180/Jan 20th 2010 5:31PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/20/t-mobiles-fender-edition-mytouch-3g-now-available-for-180/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/20/t-mobiles-fender-edition-mytouch-3g-now-available-for-180/Jan 20th 2010 5:32PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/20/t-mobiles-fender-edition-mytouch-3g-now-available-for-180/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/20/t-mobiles-fender-edition-mytouch-3g-now-available-for-180/Jan 20th 2010 5:33PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/20/t-mobiles-fender-edition-mytouch-3g-now-available-for-180/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/20/t-mobiles-fender-edition-mytouch-3g-now-available-for-180/

32GB card, Engadget ANDROID APP (hello?), a carbon fiber finish and *blurry cam* feature and I think we have the deal of the century.
