Toys make children happy. Similarly what do you think makes men and women happy? Not everybody is happy watching football matches all the time. They are happy buying a very good latest smart phone like T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide. What do you think will be the reaction when you gift this smart phone to your girlfriend or wife? She will surely start giggling all the way home.

It is true. There is a child hiding in each one of us the adults. Every adult as well as child will love playing games on a smart phone like T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide. You will have waited to spend your precious money to buy the best smart phone and when it finally reaches your hands your joy knows no bounds. Now you realize that having paid such an amount and the fact that this smart phone is sleek and sophisticated, you will need to buy the right kind of T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide accessories. Especially the T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide case and T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide screen protector comes in very handy to ensure your smart phone is safeguarded.

Once you have had a look at all the specifications, functions and explore the utilities, you are now ready to start using your T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide for daily use. This is when you should get to know your Smart Phone completely including the very important features. It is good that you are safeguarding your smart phone but at the same time, develop the right discipline to use the phone in the right manner. What we mean by this is that you need to give attention to the batteries and charging as well as usage to ensure that the battery lasts a long time. Most of the times you will find that your battery goes dead within a short time requiring you to buy new set of batteries only because you do not know how to utilize the battery and charge it properly.

If you want your smart phone battery to last longer you have got to be careful in two respects. One is to do with the battery and its charge. The second aspect is to use the smart phone judiciously and thereby ensuring that the battery is not wasted. The battery comes with a specific amount of shelf life or performance hours. As long as you use the battery optimally, the battery can last you over a longer period of time. First and foremost check out the specifications to see how you can use a screen with power saver mode as well as check to see if the backlight timing can be adjusted to the minimum. T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide comes equipped with a proximity sensor to help power off. Ensure this option is enabled.

Go through the features to identify which of the functions draw maximum power from the battery. When you use multi colored screens, run videos and multimedia applications continuously, the smart phone consumes more power. If you are using the vibrator mode that is available in your smart phone, it consumes more power. Using blue tooth too can consume a lot of power from your smart phone battery. By understanding these you are in a position to judiciously use these applications and utilities to save on the battery power.

Besides using applications judiciously you have got to maintain and clean the battery so that it is working in good condition. Exposing battery to hot weather can heat up the battery thus diminishing its life. Over charging of battery too weakens the battery to a large extent. With a bit of discipline and judicious usage of your smart phone you can make the battery last longer and replace it with a new one or refurbish it when it has been used up fully.

The Impressive MyTouch 3G Slide

T-mobile has come out of the gate with a mobile phone meant to replace its aging Sidekick series. The Mytouch slide leads the family of new MyTouch series cellular phones manufactured by HTC. It has a full QWERTY keyboard, a large touchscreen, and the Google Android OS.

The best aspects of the T-mobile mytouch 3g slide are in the design and hardware. The handset comes with a reusable, strong plastic case instead of the zippered pouch of previous models. It won’t earn any awards, though, so nearly all users will still be looking for MyTouch 3G Slide Cases soon after purchase. The T-mobile mytouch slide is available in three color choices: black, white, and dark red. The phone is shipped with the standard USB/wall charger and a USB data cable. This model also comes with earphones.

The 3G Slide is a little bigger than its brothers since it houses the full keyboard. It measures 4.55” long x 2.37” wide x .6” thick. There has been few complaints over the size as customers prefer the easy-to-use keyboard with plenty of space between each key. For the few who do not like the keyboard, the touchscreen Android keyboard can also be used.

The display on the Slide is 3.4” and features multi-touch functionality. This is a draw back, as nearly all Android-based phones have at least a 3.7” display. However, it’s an improvement over the old models of MyTouch 3G pda phone. The upside is that the colors are crisp and clear, and it can be viewed in direct sunlight. A MyTouch Slide screen protector is suggested to keep the display from getting scratched.

Under the display are the hardware buttons. The Slide features 4 buttons: Home, Menu, Back, and the new “Genius” button. On the right side of the phone also has a camera button, and there is a volume control on the left. The power button and headphone jack (3.5mm) are at the top, whereas the USB cable connects to the bottom.

In the software side, the slide comes equiped with android 2.1 with a promise of a free upgrade to 2.2 sometime in the near future. The user interface is custom-designed for the phone and is similar to the HTC Sense. The phone is great for using with social networking internet sites. It automatically updates contact information from the networks and provides a Friend Stream for new status updates and links posted by friends.

The MyModes feature of the phone allows users to customize their homepage for work or for play with all-different widgets, apps, and wallpapers for each. The Genius button, mentioned earlier, is used with Android to turn it into a voice-command system. The system is buggy at first, but as it learns your voice, it improves over time.

The phone also features a 5-megapixel camera. The camera works best outdoors. Indoor photos are noisy and dark.

Overall, the performance of the Slide 3G is very impressive. The OS doesn’t lag and internet speed is fast. The price is right, too, at less than $200. This will leave plenty of money for extra myTouch 3G Slide accessories.

T-Mobile Releases The Next Generation MyTouch

Sunday, October 3, 2010

Once again capitalizing on the overwhelmingly popular droid phones, T-Mobile and HTC have released another new Android product onto the market. The HTC myTouch 3G Slide phone is the latest edition to the HTC myTouch family most T-Mobile Android users have become familiar with. While this product should be able to help attract new users to use the Android operating system, it is a bit of a disappointment to those who were expecting something a little flashier and more competitive.

While initially seen as a competitor for the HTC Incredible or Droid 2, this is really more of a mid-range phone within the same class of the original Motorola Droid or LG Ally. The processor speed is a disappointing 600mhz for those looking for a high end product, though the HTC version of the 2.1 Android operating system performs fairly well despite this. Although the myTouch 3G Slide is not the device most thought it would end up to be, the price of it surely makes up for it and fits within the category it fits into.

The slide out keyboard is the main new feature, meant to draw in users who are new to Android touch screens. The rounded keys do make a far better solution than the more flat design seen by other slide phones like the original Motorola Droid or the Devour. The touch screen is larger than the original myTouch, coming in at 3.4 inches. This may not seem like much of an increase over the 3.2 inch screen of the original myTouch , but it makes a huge difference in viewing and use. The detracting factor from this screen is the resolution. The screen resolution on this device only comes in at 480 x 320.

Even though that keyboard is a positive improvement, we’re most likely to see more action with the touch screen since the myTouch 3G Slide features Swype typing capability. A 3G MyTouch Slide screen protector is apt to be a good investment, even for those who initially think they will use the keyboard for most operations. As far as myTouch 3G Slide accessories are concerned, a myTouch 3G Slide case might be an important get as well. This is mostly because the back on this phone feels a little cheap and unable to withstand much of an impact.

It is uncertain when the myTouch 3G Slide can be expected to update to the 2.2 operating system. The proprietary software running on this phone would make it likely for that update to take some time to come through. With HTC being one of the original users of the Android system, they have perfected the OS for their phones fairly well, making this less of an issue. The Genius button allowing for voice commands is top notch and will also make this a draw for new users. The Faves gallery gathers social network information for up to 20 friends making this a very social friendly phone. The Slide can be favorably compared to most mid-level Android phones.

The MyTouch 3G Slide Hardware And Software

As the number of Android smartphones continues to grow, how does one distinguish itself from the many others? Consider that most smartphones are merely rebadged versions of several core designs and that question now seems much more difficult to answer. However difficult, there is an answer, and any provider seeking a template may want to look toward the amazingly successful myTouch 3G Slide. In this particular case, T-Mobile has been able to stand apart with potent, innovative software that’s unlike anything you have seen in today’s market. Then, they paired all of that power with an unparalleled collection of customization options in the form of myTouch 3G Slide accessories, myTouch 3G Slide cases and myTouch 3G Slide screen protectors. So without further ado, let us take a look at this smartphone’s awesome features.

According to the T-Mobile software development team, the company spent four times the amount of time developing the software for the myTouch 3G Slide than what they spent on the last smartphone they did. Why would they do this? Well, they saw it as an investment which would not only be used for the Slide but is going to provide the core functionality for many of their devices for years to come. Knowing the amount of time and money that went into the software development will establish high expectations. It will not disappoint. It all starts with the heavily modified HTC Sense interface that includes 45 expertly modified widgets. Some popular features, such as the home screen shortcuts and themed notification bar, are there and intact. Three core features that really enhance the user experience are the Faves Gallery, MyModes, and the Genius button. The Faves Gallery is an all-in-one networking hub that aggregates email, text messages, and contact status. MyModes is an amazing feature that changes the device theme, including sounds and home screens, based on location, time, or both. This feature is likely to become an industry-wide feature. The Genius button activates the voice recognition system that allows you make phone calls, compose text messages, and even search the web, all through voice commands. You probably already know that that Android 2.1 software supports voice recognition through Google’s services. However, what makes the myTouch a little different is that the Slide utilizes “hybrid architecture” so that it can work locally using its own technology or in the cloud using Google’s.

Reducing the myTouch 3G Slide to these three key features is an oversimplification, but it does highlight how T-Mobile has been able to set itself apart in a sea of fierce competition. The Slide also includes all of the must have features, such as a full QWERTY keyboard, Bluetooth, Outlook synchronization, and all the apps you’d expect on any Android smartphone. T-Mobile has also included extra apps that don’t come standard on other phones, such as myMusic, which is similar to Pandora, and Quick Office, which includes the game Abduction. The 3G Slide is an excellent little gamer device, thanks in part to the additional memory. It plays a game like Raging Thunder 2 flawlessly despite it being unplayable on much of the competition. So will all of its features, apps, gaming capabilities to enrich your smartphone needs with the myTouch 3G Slide accessories, myTouch 3G Slide cases and myTouch 3G Slide screen protectors to enhance your myTouch 3G Slide experience, this is definitely a phone to live up to the publicity.

T-Mobile Adds The MyTouch 3G Slide To Its Family

The newly released myTouch 3G Slide is a smart phone by the technology and communications giant T-Mobile. It is designed to target the growing market of consumers who have become intrigued by smart phones but who would prefer not to spend too much for a phone that offers unessential features that they don’t need. Yet, while the myTouch 3G Slide may be aimed toward first time smart phone purchasers, it does not neglect some of the basic and essential features people have come to expect in smart phones, like wireless web access, rapid texting capabilities, and Google’s smart phone operating system, Android. Additionally, it is possible to purchase a array of support equipment for the phone, and there is a growing market of myTouch 3G Slide accessories to help buyers get the most from their new myTouch 3G Slide.

The myTouch 3G Slide’s physical keyboard is what will probably draw the most attention from the phone. Merely slide the screen to the right, and you will have all twenty six letters of the alphabet at your disposal. Speaking of the sliding screen, you can keep it from getting broken, scratched, or dented by purchasing one of the new myTouch 3G Slide screen protectors made specifically for this smart phone. But let’s go back and disscuss the keyboard: while it can seem as if every other smart phone out there today comes with a multi touch screen and a virtual keyboard, not everyone prefers such keyboard systems. The myTouch 3G Slide allows you to type with tactile feedback, which can result in faster texting, web surfing, and general navigation compared to virtual systems that provide no feedback to your fingers. But even if you are one of those people who prefer the virtual keyboard or just simply want to try it out, that won’t be a problem. That’s because every myTouch 3G Slide also includes an onscreen keyboard for people who want to multi-touch, and you can use the keyboard to type both in landscape and portrait modes. There is also an additional Swype keyboard, which provides you an arsenal of way to enter text.

The myTouch 3G Slide comes in a sleek package, measuring 4.6 inches in length, 2.4 inches in width, and having .6 inches in thickness. Weighing in at a mere 5.8 ounces, the myTouch 3G Slide will never weigh you down when you put it on your pocket or purse and get ready to go out for a night on the town. However, it can still be a good idea to search for one of the many myTouch 3G Slide cases available in stores nationwide or from dozens of online vendors. A case offers you the security of knowing that the accidental pocket drop  will not bring a sudden death to your smart phone. However, you should not have to worry about an early death to your myTouch 3G Slide, as it is as sturdy in shape as it feels and looks, with a scratch resistant body and screen.
