And this is why I highly doubt that T-Mobile will be launching the myTouch for free on a 2-year contract. The carrier has just officially announced their next Android-based smartphone and it's a pretty good one. The myTouch sports a 3.8-inch WVGA touchscreen display, a 5MP camera with 720p HD video recording, a next-gen Qualcomm MSM8255 1GHz CPU, a front-facing camera for video chatting, WiFi 802.11n support, HSPA+ connectivity, and Android 2.2. Prices and the exact release date aren't mentioned but T-Mobile did says that it'll be available in time for the holidays. That means it'll be available before the end of the year. In the mean time, check it out on T-Mobile.

T-Mobile will be launching the myTouch HD (or the myTouch) sometime in the future but the price hasn't been leaked yet. Well, the specs aren't official either so basically the only thing we know for sure is that this smartphone will have a front-facing camera with "Video Chat Capability." Apparently though, it could actually launch for free on a 2-year contract, which I'm having a hard time believing if the rumoured specs are true. Anyways, check it out on T-Mobile.

T-Mobile's G2 is up for pre-orders at your local Best Buy (in the USA) and it looks like another leak may stop you from buying one. The leaked slide above is about the upcoming myTouch HD (courtesy of TMo News) which will also be running Android and will be hitting T-Mobile in the next couple of months. The leak above states that the myTouch HD will be one powerful superphone. It'll reportedly feature a dual-core 1GHz CPU, a 3.8-inch touchscreen display, 12GB of internal storage, HSPA+ connectivity, a microSDHC card slot, the Swype keyboard, a slide-out QWERTY keyboard, a front-facing VGA camera, a rear-facing 5MP AF camera with a flash, Android 2.2 and possibly T-Mobile's own customized UI - not vanilla Android. The shipping date hasn't leaked out yet but this one is looking like something you should wait for.

The T-Mobile G2 still has to hit the carrier but it looks like another Android handset will be hitting the carrier in a couple of months. The rumoured launch for the myTouch HD (on T-Mobile), according to TMoNews' trusted source, is said to be November 3rd. That's a pretty random date but this would be great timing for the holiday season. Maybe someone will be getting this as an early Christmas present.

There's a new rumour going around that T-Mobile's Project Emerald will be the launch of two Android-based 3G+ (HSPA+) smartphones. This would be pretty amazing. Apparently, the handset above that's being called the HTC Desire HD thus far will be hitting the carrier as the myTouch HD. The other handset is below and it's the HTC Vision which could actually hit the carrier as the G1 Blaze. Apparently, one of them will be launching on September 22nd while the other one will be seven days later, on the 29th. This is said to be a "secret launch". If that's true then the secret is now out.

Update: Phandroid's source has mentioned that the HTC Vision / G1 Blaze looks a little bit different than the one below but it's confirmed to feature a front-facimg and camera and an optical trackpad.

Update: According to Electronista and the latest rumour going around the HTC Vision may actually hit T-Mobile as the G2. This smartphone will be a "Google experience" phone - remember those? It's just a rumour so believe whichever one you want to.

Just yesterday we heard that T-Mobile is no longer offering the G1 anymore and it could be because they're about to introduce their HSPA+ device, which is going to sport a QWERTY keyboard with the Android OS. Apparently though, the HSPA+ device may not be the HTC Vision, as expected, since there's another smartphone that's making the rounds. The phone you see above is being called the myTouch 3G HD and it does not sport a slide-out QWERTY keyboard of any sort. Sporting a large touchscreen display, this could be another high-end Android phone headed to the carrier and maybe it's the Vanguard but we'll have to wait and see, really.
