Cons

Battery life is average; speaker is horrid; already “old technology”; Android 2.2
Video chat barely works, mediocre speaker
Weak and screechy speakerphone, Poor battery life, Mesh of design styles
Ugly, Not stock Android, Low earpiece volume
A bit heavy, Lackluster Qik and Yahoo video calling, No dedicated search button
Speakerphone volume is too low. We had numerous issues with video calls. The smartphone is a little on the heavy side.
Genius Button is hit or miss, display doesn’t have good viewing angles.
Bloatware. UI skin may not appeal to everyone.
HSPA isn't available everywhere, Camcorder microphone is very sensitive to wind.

I have wanted to like Android for quite some time. I really did. I kept trying device after device hoping that the next device would be “the one”. Sadly, that never seemed to happen. Even with those devices that I initially liked I found...

It's worth mentioning again, I haven't been impressed with T-Mobile's myTouch family of phones. This one completely redeems any shortcomings its older siblings had. It's fast, it's sleek, it feels good in the hand. I completely...

The bottom line is that we're not sure if the T-Mobile myTouch 4G can handle all of the advanced content that is being piped out at a rapid rate. Although the phone touts a second-generation 1GHz Snapdragon processor, we saw more evidence of lagging...

The T-Mobile myTouch 4G is T-Mobile's second HSPA+ smartphone, following the T-Mobile G2. There are arguments to be made that T-Mobile's HSPA+ network isn't 4G, but there's no disputing that it's fast. So is the myTouch 4G; it's...

If you can overlook the poor battery life it exhibits, you'll find the T-Mobile myTouch 4G to offer a high-level of performance that will appease almost anyone in the market for a smartphone. Just about everything radiates a polished feel, and...

Overall, the myTouch 4G hits almost every checkbox when it comes to features and functionality, but sadly misses the mark completely when it comes to aesthetic and "purity" of the Android vision. In T-Mobile's attempt to make a consumer-friendly...
