T-Mobile Announces New MyTouch, Roaring with Speed

T-Mobile has announced its new MyTouch, and it is a new flagship smartphone for the carrier. The phone is launching as the second phone with HSPA+, and has other specs that include a 1GHZ second generation Snapdragon processor, a 5MP Main camera that shoots 720p (no frame rate known yet), a front facing camera and Android 2.2. It seems as if 2.2 is the new 2.1, every phone (except the Dell Aero) seems to be launching with Froyo. The new MyTouch has me very excited as it has the second-gen Snapdragon. The new version seems to be screaming fast, scoring 1500's in Quadrant's benchmark, and that is only the 800 MHZ version. Imagine the 1 GHZ, it will probably score around a 2000 in the test. No RAM amount was said, though I think it will be around 768MB, because of the fact that the Desire HD, with similar specs, has 768MB. I wonder how the new generation of Droids will stack up to this phone, especially with the Droid Pro rumored to have a 1.3 GHZ processor, presumably an Texas Instruments OMAP. A very good selling point of the MyTouch is that it has a front facing camera. I am not sure if this is a new version of Qik, or if it is the phone's own facetime-like software, because it seems to have that kind of feel, with the flip-camera button in the bottom right and a little movable square of the person on the top left. Don't forget to bookmark, share, and save! Also, a shout-out to my friend Jake who just launched his new blog, Apple Inc. News!
