T-Mobile's myTouch Slide earns its FCC wings?

Seeing HTC leak a shot of a product through a confidential FCC filing is about as rare as a confirmed yeti sighting, so you can imagine our excitement with this fresh meat that just landed in the Fed's files today. What is it, exactly? Well, it's a smartphone running 3G on WCDMA Band IV, which -- for those who don't have their bands memorized -- is the AWS spectrum that T-Mobile uses. In other words, we'd bet our bottom dollar that this is the rumored Android-equipped myTouch Slide that we're looking at here -- and with a Spring launch window having been rumored in the past, this certification looks like it's running right on time. Your move, T-Mobile.

please turn the the phone over... I just want to take a peak if you mind

[lv2bll54 Posted Apr 8th 2010 6:50PM]

could this be the true successor to the g1???

[hbueain Posted Apr 8th 2010 7:46PM]

@Alexpeegs

if any of u actually used the first mytouch, the phone is soo sluggish/slow I can't believe they actually sells this

[RockTripod Posted Apr 8th 2010 10:25PM]

@hbueain I've had mine since launch. Occasional hiccups aside, its not sluggish. Stop loading so many widgets.

[tklr08 Posted Apr 8th 2010 6:27PM]

myTouch Slide sounds like a new line of KY lube.

[tklr08 Posted Apr 8th 2010 6:29PM]

@ssgadget
Yeah, kinda like quicksand.

[Alexpeegs Posted Apr 8th 2010 6:30PM]

now compare this to OS 4.0 I think you know who won.................................Android...go ahead fanboys lawl

[Mrtoocool Posted Apr 8th 2010 6:34PM]

This is probably the T-Mobile G1 replacement or successor.

[mpv Posted Apr 8th 2010 6:47PM]

@Mrtoocool -- I was in a TMO store a few weeks back, and an employee said they're "relaunching" the G1 soon -- which I thought was odd (I didn't ask the obv. follow-up questions). He also said their HTC rep was in the store recently, and that HTC has "a few" new phones coming to TMO this year. (I asked about Moto, and he said he believed they're "done for the year"...)

[mpv Posted Apr 8th 2010 6:55PM]

(this was all re: *Android* phones specifically, btw)

[Mrtoocool Posted Apr 8th 2010 6:57PM]

@mpv

Nice thanks for the info bro.

[Armo Posted Apr 8th 2010 7:30PM]

@mpv

Employees tend to know nothing about future launches.

[RockTripod Posted Apr 8th 2010 10:26PM]

@mpv They don't tell us reps much, if anything. Almost all I've learned about upcoming devices has been from blogs.

[xanavi Posted Apr 8th 2010 6:37PM]

Im off contract and bought a magic on craigslist to tide me over to the perfect phone, this aint it.

[icyazn Posted Apr 8th 2010 6:39PM]

well this have htc sence

[JW Posted Apr 8th 2010 7:00PM]

@icyazn
No because it's a MyTouch phone. But it will have spellcheck.

[abimanyu Posted Apr 8th 2010 6:42PM]

HTC Don't you have some thing new?
All HTC Phones in Market has same hardware just add a feature or removed feature and the most funny part is some time u Just mod your sense interface and call the same old product with new name.

[abimanyu Posted Apr 8th 2010 6:43PM]

HTC you can't keep fooling people for long time so try doing some thing truly innovative.

[iCello Posted Apr 8th 2010 9:00PM]

@abimanyu Like the EVO?
What I want is to be able to use the TMo Sidekick Prepaid plan with something other then the sidekick.

[gandecab Posted Apr 8th 2010 6:49PM]

looks like it has a camera flash!

[DiggaX Posted Apr 8th 2010 6:53PM]

Ehhh.... Blah.. About as exciting as diareaha

[PresidentObama Posted Apr 8th 2010 6:55PM]

@Ziegler

What ever happened to the March launch of the Motorola xt720? Any idea?

Sorry to go off-topic, but I am the President.

[mpv Posted Apr 8th 2010 7:17PM]

@PresidentObama -- is that the Motoroi? I've given up waiting for news; guess we'll see it later this year, or maybe not (see my comment above re: Moto)

[PresidentObama Posted Apr 8th 2010 9:27PM]

@mpv Yeah, the Motoroi. It's fallen off the radar. Sucks, because it's the only smartphone on the horizon with top-notch camera and video capabilities. Maybe we gotta go to S. Korea.

[lalaluluj Posted Apr 8th 2010 6:58PM]

omg omg omg!!!! I hope it is the g1 successor. I love my g1 to bits but the fact that there most likely won't be any more updates past cupcake, sounds like a deal! I just hope its also aesthetically pleasing too

[yerand Posted Apr 8th 2010 7:05PM]

kinda looks like my old palm pilot... 0_o

[kenny goo Posted Apr 8th 2010 7:13PM]

$400 off contract please? It'd be sold if it was. I just need something a little more modern then the G1 and a little less suffocated to death by Blur like the Cliq.

[NineT9 Posted Apr 8th 2010 7:47PM]

Did no one get the dirty inappropiate reference from the title? wow im shocked no one said anything :(

[ElectroPop Posted Apr 8th 2010 8:23PM]

As long as it comes with a 5-row keyboard, im sold.
I've been with the Sidekick for too long and I feel its time to retire it.

[meatball Posted Apr 8th 2010 8:30PM]

@ElectroPop - I felt the same way, but when teh G1 first came out 15+ months ago, I was sold. 5 -row BB, touch screen, GPS, 3G and wifi? That was my dream phone. I really hope this successor kicks some serious ass.

[insectezoid Posted Apr 8th 2010 8:41PM]

Will it support Unicode or continue to treat Latin as the sole writing system in the world?

[jayy337 Posted Apr 8th 2010 8:48PM]

if this is promising with a PRETTY GOOD processor past that 528 mhz shit, i will upgrade.

If its not, then i'll wait for a high end android phone to hit T-Mobile. I will most likely be sacrificing a physical QWERTY keyboard, but i know the phone will most likely run really good and i'll be able to have a good experience on it.

[Johnny Rockets Posted Apr 8th 2010 9:26PM]

This is crap.

People want Snapdragons, not that old garbage hardware, but now with a keyboard.

[tklr08 Posted Apr 9th 2010 10:06PM]

@marik1234
Does saying fuck all the time make you feel good?

[balazer Posted Apr 16th 2010 6:41PM]

Month names should not be capitalized.

[balazer Posted Apr 16th 2010 6:43PM]

@balazer I mean season names, gosh darn it. Where's the edit on this thing?
