All in all, the HTC Magic or MyTouch 3G is a great phone for the average customer. There are those that would definitely prefer either more or less than it has to offer but such is the case with any product. For those that type a whole lot, then...
The HTC myTouch 3G Slide is a nice Android device that's worthy of consideration by first time smartphone buyers and/or those looking for a feature packed mid-range Android device. I imagine the physical keyboard and overall design will make current...
The Slide is first and foremost a phone and communication device, and it does an excellent job at both. Call quality was fine on both ends, the speakerphone performed well, louder and clearer than any other Android phone I've used, which is quite a few. ...
Abstract: Video Review: With T-Mobile's strong Android options, the myTouch 3G Slide could be their best yet. Kevin Pereira and Alison Haislip take a look at the phone's new features, like their Faves Gallery, Genius Button, 3.4" touch screen and 5 megapixel cam...

The MyTouch 3G Slide is a pleasing addition to T-Mobile's healthy line of Android smartphones. Though not high end and chic, it's an attractive phone that's sturdy and it feels good in the hand. If you found the MyTouch 3G's on-screen keyboard tedious...
Other than a few tiny details, I'm quite pleased with the MyTouch. It's an entry-level phone for messaging addicts and that's just fine. At about $180 with contract, you really can't go wrong and HTC worked closely with T-Mobile to offer a unique but pure...
The Slide is a pretty good mid-range Android handset that beats the tar out of devices like the Motorola Devour, Cliq XT and the Motorola Backflip and it should make a lot of first-time smartphone buyers happy. The problem is that T-Mobile is positioning...
If you liked the original T-Mobile myTouch 3G, but wanted a physical keyboard, the new T-Mobile myTouch 3G Slide is what you've been waiting for. This sideways slider offers Android 2.1 and a full QWERTY keyboard for typing. Let's not forget some of...
