T-Mobile myTouch 3G with Google in Stores Today

T-Mobile USA, Inc. today announced the national retail availability of the highly anticipated T-Mobile myTouch 3G with Google Android Smartphone. T-Mobile announced their 2nd Android phone back in June.

To celebrate the myTouch 3G arrival, T-Mobile is aiming high and plans to launch an aerial spectacle in the sky over San Francisco. Today at noon PDT, 100 skydivers, each dressed as unique personalities to reflect the individuality of the myTouch experience, will colorfully parachute in synchronized formations over the city.
Designed by HTC, the T-Mobile myTouch features a 3.2-inch HVGA touch-screen display and virtual keyboard, which orients automatically from portrait to landscape mode in most applications. The myTouch also features a 3.2-megapixel camera, a music player with a pre-installed 4GB microSD memory card, and enhanced video capabilities to make it easy for users to record and share pictures and videos, whether via e-mail, MMS or one-click upload to sites such as YouTube and Picasa.
The myTouch 3G mobile Web experience is supported by fast data speeds via Wi-Fi and T-Mobile’s 3G network.
The T-Mobile myTouch starts at $199.99 with a two year contract.
Five distinct accessory bundles will be available this month online, including a music pack with portable speakers and a bonus promotional card for Amazon MP3 downloads, and a fitness pack that includes a fitness belt and arm band — each allowing customers to further match the phone to their unique lifestyle.

Samsung Release Green 'Reclaim' Phone

Okay, so recycled cell phones aren't going to save the environment on their own. That doesn't stop this new green 'Reclaim' phone from Samsung from being a smart buy, both ecologically and practically. The Reclaim has a 2 megapixel camera with video capture, a sliding QWERTY keyboard, Bluetooth 2.0 with A2DP, GPS, and microSDHC support for up to 32 GB.

On the whole, the Reclaim sounds like a pretty good buy. It's cheap, and it's got the right features to make it a perfect tween texting phone or budget mobile. The fact that it's made from 80% recycled materials only sweetens the deal. If you'd like to pick up a Reclaim, you'll get your chance on August 16 for $49.99 with a 2 year plan. Also, for every mobile you purchase, Samsung will make a $2 donation to The Nature Conservancy's Adopt-An-Acre program.
