Ah…. Google Android phone. I welcomed Google’s decision to buy Android and release a new mobile OS. If any company to shake up mobile industry, Google was in better position than any other company. It had money and right engineering culture to do it. Apple’s iPhone was available much earlier than Google Android phone, so when it was time for me to change my phone, I had gone with iPhone. If Android phone was available at the same time as iPhone, it would have made the decision much tougher. Before iPhone, I used two different Blackberry models. So, I am not exactly a stranger to smart phones.
I had a chance to test HTC’s myTouch, which is follow-up model to T-Mobile’s G1 phone. In summary, I must say this is quite capable phone, but it still comes short of iPhone. I am certainly not an Apple fanboy, and I wasn’t 100% happy of iPhone, but compared to other smart phones, I am still amazed at what Apple has pulled off with iPhone. It’s still hean and shoulder above many other phones out there. However, it does not mean myTouch is not a worthy phone. There were many features I found valuable. Without further ado, let me break it down for you.
