myTouch 3G Limited Edition: Clapton
It looks like this phone has taken the nickname, “Clapton,” according to the title of the video below, posted to T-Mo’s official YouTube account. Maybe that’s the name of the commercial. Does that make this the God of phones? Sounds like a good title to me, and this phone needs all the extra style it can get at this price. Don’t get me wrong; I love the finish, the 3.5mm audio jack, the 16 GB SD card and the 288 MB of RAM (See update after the video). But with Nexus going for the same price on a new contract ($179), there’s not much of a contest here. For existing customers who want a new hack toy, be prepared to peel off $449. I really, really want one…but it just ain’t gonna happen. Ships with 1.6 and should see 2.1 before long. Goes on sale Feb 10th.
UPDATE: It seems there has been confusion regarding the RAM of this device. Apparently, T-Mo posted the wrong specs at their site!
I was excited to hear about this phone last fall and as like most of us I wanted on, because the 288mb of ram was and is nice. I think they released this phone very late and as far as I can tell, there was now reason to wait til now to release it. I think it was a bad move on HTC and T-mobile part and I don't expect anyone to buy this, but a few Android newbies probably and I'm sure they will enjoy it too. I'm sure I don't need to mention, but I will anyways. If you're in the market and you are going to go with a 2 year agreement, the Nexus One has a bigger screen, better camera with led flash, faster processor, newer OS (v2.1), more memory expansion and will be able to be upgraded more giving it a longer life span for the same $179.99. If you are purchasing the phone outright then you are saving $80 before fees buying the Fender addition, but you're losing out on several features that will make your user experience more enjoyable. Verdict- The Fender addition MyTouch 3G is not worth the purchase
