Mytouch 3G HD could/couldn’t be HTC Vanguard
Well this sure has been a fantastic week of leaks and announcements all over the place. First we hear word of the HTC Vision possibly being dubbed the G1 Blaze, maybe being the first HSPA+ device to come to T-Mobile USA. Then good ol’ Magenta decides to put up a nice little webpage for their first HSPA+ device to make us drool, incidently revealing a connection between this mysterious device and the codename Vanguard.
But now we have an even nicer treat. tipster has sent in a photo of what is believed to be the Mytouch 3G HD (say that 5 times fast). It appears to be of the same form factor of the Mytouch Slide sans the keyboard and a slightly larger screen, of course there aren’t any specs yet so I’m just judging that by the picture above. At the bottom you still see the button layout as on the Slide, with the much favored Genius button in place of a search button. Now this is either a smudge in the picture or something we can finally look forward to. Up on top, right next to the earpiece on the right there seems to be a small circle which could indicate a front facing camera.
Most people would already love to jump on the bandwagon assuming that this device and the mystery device on T-Mobile website are one and the same. But I beg to differ. Claims that this device looks very similar to the silhouette are unfounded in my opinion. The corners are more rounded on the device itself than the mystery device. The Mytouch 3G HD shape has more in common with the Nexus One than the very squared shaped silhouette from T-Mobile. I could be wrong, this could be fake shape of a device to throw me off my tracks but thats not very common when it comes to device announcements like those. I still believe the mystery device will be the G1 Blaze coming out sometime this fall.
Either way I will be happy to see both on T-Mobile shelves this fall. What say you, will you be running for the G1 Blaze with fantastic keyboard? Or do you like the slimmer sleeker style of the Mytouch 3G HD? let us know in the comments

Possibly Project Emerald ?
maybe, that would be very nice. But I have heard rumblings that Project Emerald will only be a disappointment to us all. Let's hope not :)
If we are to believe the road-map leak it list the Vanguard for Sept 9th and Emerald for Nov 5th. So possibly this and the Vision are the 2 said phones. Which is which would be the next question.
I sure hope this isn't their new flagship. HSPA+ or not, the world does not need another keboard-less slab device. :-(
I've had my G1 for a little while, and thought NOTHING could top it. Then the EVO came out with a huge screen, sense, 4G, and a front facing camera. (On Sprint sadly) I almost died, lol. But I got top play with it alot and I wanted to throw my G1 out the window. So… if this has those features similar, but not exact to the EVO im getting it. Physical KB are nice but the EVO's screen is so big it doesn't matter. Its so easy to type on. ok, bye : ) tweet me @delayynee
actually this does look like the device in the silhouette. check it out:
the image on the TMO HSPA+ site is of the backside…in the lower left side part of the image there is a small bump. looking at the image in this article of the mytouch 3GHD theres a button on the lower right side ( which would be the lower left side looking from the back) i dont just saying hmmmm…….
also noticed in the photo of the mytouch3GHD, it does appear as though there could be a qwerty slide out. to me the phone appears to be split down the middle, with the top half fitting on the bottom???? now if the version is bigger and longer than the MT3G slide then i'd say we might have something pretty cool.
my girlfriend has one and i dig it!! just a little too small. 3.5 – 4″ would be awesome
also is this photo shopped???
looking at the picture i see editing tools in the back ground……..perhaps the phone was “stretched”
wheres my posts!!! iposted over half ago
I hope it isn't either. Hopefully they have a couple BIG phones coming out. But I prefer keyboardless.
NO!!!!! Emerald is supposed to be dual-core! Android 3.0! Some fancy screen made out of stem cells or somehing!!! This abomination will not suffice; the MyTouch line needs to end!
how do you guys know there’s no keyboard? looks like it to me.. if you look at the bottom of the phone, look at that slit, then follow it up the side
this looks really cool
thanks steffy…right after i buy my slide…
hahaha, always something better right around the corner.
is that… a front facing camera?
yea man im goin for the vision. i <3 my nexus one but for the same size screen reportedly id take a keyboard and a little extra heft anyday. plus it'll probably be running sense. i <3 sense
is this the galaxy ph? IF so is a laggy ho.
What has t-Mob got coming that is Andriod – fast and sleek.
My MyTouch 3g is dog. as volume creeps up on device it bogs down big time 5-7 sec btw screens.
Gmail now just sits there – 'your mail will appear shortly' right……
