Oh, and I mean that in the aesthetic sense (read: Not talking about how good a phone is.. simply that it looks like a turd thats been polished now) ]]>Jan 29th 2010 1:52PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/29/t-mobile-mytouch-3g-fender-limited-edition-impressions/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/29/t-mobile-mytouch-3g-fender-limited-edition-impressions/Jan 29th 2010 2:15PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/29/t-mobile-mytouch-3g-fender-limited-edition-impressions/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/29/t-mobile-mytouch-3g-fender-limited-edition-impressions/Jan 29th 2010 2:21PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/29/t-mobile-mytouch-3g-fender-limited-edition-impressions/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/29/t-mobile-mytouch-3g-fender-limited-edition-impressions/
Hmm.. downranked..

Since I clarified I wasn't talking about the phone (quite the fan of Android btw) just the design, I can only assume people actually like the look of this...

Do you people also happen to like Internet Explorer 6?

In the grand spectrum that is all phone available today, its still clearly one of the better phones. This is coming from someone who owns one btw..]]>Jan 29th 2010 2:08PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/29/t-mobile-mytouch-3g-fender-limited-edition-impressions/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/29/t-mobile-mytouch-3g-fender-limited-edition-impressions/
If all you want is an Android handset, and not the awesome that is a Droid/Nexus/Whatever is coming next, then yeah, the myTouch is a good phone. It just doesn't have the fast processor like the higher end phones do and therefore you get the lag. It is also still at 1.6 IIRC. I think its supposed to be getting 2.x, but I have no clue as to when.]]>Jan 29th 2010 2:18PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/29/t-mobile-mytouch-3g-fender-limited-edition-impressions/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/29/t-mobile-mytouch-3g-fender-limited-edition-impressions/http://bit.ly/mytouch-3g-fender-leaked]]>Feb 13th 2010 12:13PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/29/t-mobile-mytouch-3g-fender-limited-edition-impressions/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/29/t-mobile-mytouch-3g-fender-limited-edition-impressions/Jan 29th 2010 1:58PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/29/t-mobile-mytouch-3g-fender-limited-edition-impressions/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/29/t-mobile-mytouch-3g-fender-limited-edition-impressions/

If you did a special edition Nexus One, you'd steal even MORE sales away from the MyTouch. That's the exact opposite of what they want.
The goal here is to add enough extra appeal to keep the MyTouch viable to enough customers that they'll still have sales, due to the fact that they now HAVE a Nexus One. Not everyone knows or cares about what little extra (power, features, or OS rev) the Nexus One has.]]>Jan 29th 2010 2:49PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/29/t-mobile-mytouch-3g-fender-limited-edition-impressions/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/29/t-mobile-mytouch-3g-fender-limited-edition-impressions/

Uhhh...what? Why the hell did they use a bookmatched flame maple top on this? SRV and Buddy Holly did NOT play Fender guitars with bookmatched flame maple tops (that kind of thing typically goes on a Gibson). SRV's guitar was Alder, Buddy Holly's was probably Alder as well.]]>Jan 29th 2010 2:10PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/29/t-mobile-mytouch-3g-fender-limited-edition-impressions/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/29/t-mobile-mytouch-3g-fender-limited-edition-impressions/

Although like you said it is more common on Gibsons, and I'll throw PRS in there, Fender does use Bookmatched Flame Maple tops on some of their Custom Shop guitars. ]]>Jan 29th 2010 2:26PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/29/t-mobile-mytouch-3g-fender-limited-edition-impressions/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/29/t-mobile-mytouch-3g-fender-limited-edition-impressions/
Yes, Fender does use the maple tops on some guitars, but these are few and far between and it was NEVER done on the classics.

Fender and Gibson were basically two companies providing the same product with totally different manufacturing concepts in mind. Gibson's guitars were much more difficult to make (carved tops, angled necks, glued neck joints, angled headstocks, etc. etc) whereas Fender focused on being as economical as possible (their guitars were built using cheap wood like alder and ash, the necks are joined parallel to the top, screwed on, etc. etc. etc.).]]>Jan 29th 2010 2:42PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/29/t-mobile-mytouch-3g-fender-limited-edition-impressions/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/29/t-mobile-mytouch-3g-fender-limited-edition-impressions/Jan 29th 2010 2:51PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/29/t-mobile-mytouch-3g-fender-limited-edition-impressions/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/29/t-mobile-mytouch-3g-fender-limited-edition-impressions/Jan 29th 2010 2:57PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/29/t-mobile-mytouch-3g-fender-limited-edition-impressions/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/29/t-mobile-mytouch-3g-fender-limited-edition-impressions/I know you could get Mesa amps with Flame Maple, but I'm fairly positive that any Fender Amps with a Flame Cabinet would be extremely Limited Edition and exclusively from the Custom Shop.]]>Jan 29th 2010 2:59PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/29/t-mobile-mytouch-3g-fender-limited-edition-impressions/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/29/t-mobile-mytouch-3g-fender-limited-edition-impressions/Agreed]]>Jan 29th 2010 3:00PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/29/t-mobile-mytouch-3g-fender-limited-edition-impressions/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/29/t-mobile-mytouch-3g-fender-limited-edition-impressions/You're probably right. I thought I remembered either a Blues Jr. or a Deluxe with that same finish. I am a very devout Gibson/Marshall guy so it's kind of foreign soil. I think we all agree flamet maple does not exactly scream Fender. I guess they needed a way to make it look more like wood and less like a brown phone. ]]>Jan 29th 2010 8:04PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/29/t-mobile-mytouch-3g-fender-limited-edition-impressions/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/29/t-mobile-mytouch-3g-fender-limited-edition-impressions/Jan 29th 2010 2:11PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/29/t-mobile-mytouch-3g-fender-limited-edition-impressions/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/29/t-mobile-mytouch-3g-fender-limited-edition-impressions/
