myTouch 3G’s Froyo update well underway
From the looks of T-Mobile's official support forums, it hasn't gone out to everyone just yet -- but it looks like lots of myTouch 3G owners are now getting the official Froyo update the carrier announced back on the 13th of the month. Unfortunately, this doesn't include myTouches equipped with a 3.5mm jack -- those details are slated for "the coming weeks" -- but in the meantime, old-style device owners can expect a pretty stock-looking build of Android 2.2. Oh, and if you haven't gotten it yet, cool your jets (trust us, we know how hard that can be)..

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.

T-Mobile myTouch 3G with 3.5mm jack seen awaiting a lucky owner
Aww, will you look at that -- our little buddy here is all boxed up with no place to go. See that little green "3.5mm jack" box on there? Yep, you're looking at the non- Fender version of the mildly-tweaked myTouch 3G that finally features an honest way to enjoy music, but don't feel too bad that he's not on sale yet -- current rumors have this pegged for retail tomorrow, so we're sure he'll find a good, clean home soon enough.

T-Mobile myTouch 3G Fender Limited Edition impressions
Last October, we would've never guessed that T-Mobile would bother to circle back with HTC on the myTouch 3G to craft a slightly modified version that fixes everyone's single biggest complaint -- the lack of an integrated 3.5mm headphone jack -- but here we are now in January with that very product resting in our hands.

T-Mobile’s Fender edition myTouch 3G now available for $180
We'd already heard that T-Mobile's new Fender edition myTouch 3G would be rolling out on January 20th, but we hadn't had much indication about what sort of premium (if any) it would demand over the standard myTouch. Well, as you can see above, you will have to pay an extra $30 on top of the $150 the regular myTouch 3G currently demands (on-contract, naturally), but that will get you a bundled 16GB memory card, not to mention a genuine 3.5mm headphone jack, a few pre-loaded songs from Eric Clapton and others and, of course, that classy woodgrain finish. Not too shabby for an extra thirty bucks, if you ask us

T-Mobile Fender MyTouch 3G in the wild, due for launch January 20
A lot's happened since T-Mobile first announced the myTouch 3G Fender Limited Edition , but if you're looking for last-gen Android hardware in the sweetest case around, your wait is almost up: test units are going our to T-Mobile reps, and that formal launch will occur on January 20th. No word on pricing, but we can't imagine it'll be cheaper than the current myTouch 3G, especially since it adds a much-needed 3.5mm headphone jack and has that fancy woodgrain finish, bundled 16GB microSD card, and preloaded music

I really want the mytouch3g but should I wait for a better Android phone for T-mobile?
The $100 coupon is sooo tempting and I am just about ready to give in and buy one but I need to know if it’s worth it for contract. Should I wait for a better Android phone or just go with the mytouch?
