Gather ’round, friends, as a glimpse of a once mythical beast is unveiled to the world. Nay, not Bigfoot — something smaller, and with more buttons. Oh, and this one plays friendly with T-Mobile’s kinda-sorta-4G HSPA+ network! Can Bigfoot do that? No. He can’t. Because Bigfoot isn’t real.
Tucked within that splash of blue jeans and blur you see up top is none other than the T-Mobile myTouch Slide 4G — which, as far T-Mobile is concerned, doesn’t exist yet.
While the pair of shots obtained by BGR leave a good bit to the imagination, the tipster came armed with a few details to help flesh out your mental imagery:
The device is said to be “much faster than the myTouch 4G”
The myTouch Slide 4G packs an 8 megapixel camera on the back, as opposed to the 5 megapixel camera found on its predecessor, the Slide 3G.
Will ship with Android 2.3.4 (Gingerbread), running the latest version of HTC Sense
The display is neither 3D nor particularly stunning, with the tipster saying it’s “nothing to write home about”
Should ship sometime before mid-July
So far, so… eh. It’s certainly not too shabby — but it’s nothin’ special, either. Between the G2 and the Sidekick 4G, T-Mobile sort of already has the whole sliding-keyboard thing on lock; does the myTouch 4G have anything up its sleeve to make itself stand out?
