T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide Caught in the Wild, Android 2.3.4 On Board

The T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide is said to run “much faster than the myTouch 4G.” Perhaps it was moving to quickly to grab a non-blurry photo. BGR got hold of a source who was able to snap off some photos of the upcoming device, codenamed Doubleshot, in the wild. Aside from comparing the device’s speed to the original myTouch 4G, the source also claimed the 4G Slide ran “just as smoothly as the HTC Sensation ” Confirmed is an 8MP camera, Sense UI 3.0, and Android 2.3.4. The screen isn’t said to be much, and the Android keys and keyboard are compared to those of the G2. The insider pegged early July as the estimated launch date for the phone.

Initially known as HTC Doubleshot, the unannounced T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide has finally appeared in some photos. Although they don’t show the handset in all its glory, said photos confirm that the smartphone features a sliding QWERTY keyboard, as well as Android Gingerbread (version 2.3.4) and the latest Sense UI 3.0.


BGR (where the new images have been published) has it that the myTouch 4G Slide also comes with an 8MP camera. A dual-core processor should be in there, too, although this hasn’t been confirmed.
