MyTouch 3G Slide from HTC

MyTouch 3G Slide

Nearly two weeks ago we announced the launch of the MyTouch 3G Slide from HTC. Some of the highlights of this device include the slide-out QWERTY keyboard, large 3.4in HVGA touch-screen display, pre-installed 8 GB microSD card and a 5 megapixel camera.

Unfortunately the price was clearly lacking from the original press-release and specification sheet. It would now appear as though the guys at TmoNews have come across this missing piece of information. According to the images available to us, the device should set us back $149.99 on a 2-year contract . There may be the possibility of a $50 mail-in rebate.

For those that are not interested in locking themselves down to a 24-month deal, it might be possible to acquire the MyTouch 3G Slide for $399.99. The rumored release date for this device is June 16th.

Is HTC a sinking ship? Resignations, poor sales, and absent leadership suggest so

by Robert Triggs, 7 hours ago

It has been difficult to know exactly what to make of HTC recently. The company has been touting success with the One, and is turning decent profits after months of underperforming, but today we learned…

Ive noticed that HTC keeps secrets better and better. Like Apple had in the past

HTC should have been Samsung. The HTC Desire (and its cousin the Nexus One) was the first really valid iphone competitor. In fact, it was the first phone that surpassed the iphone in specs and usability. They had a head start on everyone including Samsung. They’ve completely lacked vision since then and meandered to this point. I mean who’s idea was Beats? Every manufacturer was making bigger and higher res displays because mobile devices are all about the *visual* experience and HTC regress back to offering cheap earphones and a mediocre equalizer. Fortunately they still have the most solidly built devices, but I don’t know if that’s enough anymore.

    Just might be true. Historically:
    
    Google chooses HTC for Nexus One, the following year HTC is awarded handset manufacturer of the year and has device of the year. Google chooses Samsung for Nexus S / Gnex, the following two years Samsung becomes the dominant cell phone manufacturer in the world.
    
    Is Google picking winners, or do consumers follow Google?

I hope they can work it out. I really like my One x and would love to upgrade to the One but need to know that they are going to be around to support it. There should be an annoucement about the One for Verizon later today and that can help but it seems that they need a big internal revamp to really turn things around.
pppp

It never floated so how can it sink? LoL. I’m not buying a phone with non-removable battery, and if I was to go for a good build quality phone, I have chosen an iPhone. NOT HTC!!!

Ha-ha!

Introducing the stunning new “HTC in the Deuce”.

HTC Desire C with the Muve Music package is Terrific! You cannot beat the price,, with no contract to sign, and you also get to download, and listen to Hot New music, along with the oldies that the older generation loves. I am 44 and was relunctant to switch to a smartphone, but when I researched the different products discovered that the HTC Desire C, has everything that you could possibly ask for. I love the fact that I can download today’s newest music, along with all the music I grew up with so I think that this would be perfect for any family looking to switch over to a new phone package. It is cost effective with unlimited plans, and unlimited music. So I hope that they stick around for a long time, and am sure that they will.
