With the
G1 on its last legs, the
CLIQ stands as T-Mobile USA's only QWERTY
Android set -- and for a carrier that seems as committed to Android as T-Mobile does, that doesn't seem right, now, does it? Indeed, that rumored
myTouch Slide looks like it's going to get real here pretty shortly now that we're seeing shots of the thing in the wild, and... well, it looks nothing like the original
myTouch 3G (and even less like the
Fender edition). Beauty is certainly in the eye of the beholder -- and we'd want to wait until we see this in the flesh -- but the myTouch Slide appears to lack the old model's attractive contours, sticking with a spartan design strangely paired to a chrome-ringed earpiece. Besides the clear addition of an optical pad here (something we'd previously heard HTC would be pushing hard in 2010), it's apparently got an HVGA display, externally accessible microSD slot, camera with flash, and unfortunately, an old-school ARM11 processor. We're holding out hope that T-Mobile has plenty of higher-end gear waiting in the wings, but for now, this looks like the G1's true spiritual successor.

If its the same garbage processor, then its time to riot the streets. Are manufactures just taking us all for fools? It feels like it
That looks absolutely hideous.
First off it is a prototype so it won't look as good as the final product.It's a MT3 replacement what did you expect a hero phone cmon.Also, those type of keyboard is better than most usability wise not style I would give it a whirl .I can never have to many Android toys
That thing is uuuuuglyy!
I mean, The MyTouch 3g is nicer looking than most android phones. But this thing is almost euro spec hero ugly.
