hi this is bryan bennett at cnet com and today we're taking a look at the t-mobile mytouch q now t-mobile certainly offers some high-end Android super phones but what if you're on a budget and can't justify spending two hundred dollars or more on a new handset enter this device basically the mytouch q offers the basic in Android computing and it also has a slide-out QWERTY keyboard as well as a 5.1 megapixel camera with LED flash plus it offers access to t mobile's 4g hspa+ high-speed data network so basically you get a lot of smart phone for a low price how low right now it's being offered for free with a two year contract and after an instant rebate if you buy the phone online the first thing you notice about the mytouch is it's 3.5 inch TFT screen now it's not as bright as other devices I've seen but it should serve your knees pretty well you also have the genius button which is a feature that is a staple on my touch devices basically it allows for voice commands and common functions of the phone like searching for emails and making phone calls to be done using your voice but what's really important about this device is that it has a slide out qwerty keypad so here you see the keyboard it's a 40 keyboard unfortunately it's not a five row which some of the other devices on the market have but Android devices with a full physical keypad like this are becoming very rare now the mytouch q is not a high-octane super phone running the whole show is a 1 gigahertz single core Snapdragon processor now the one good thing about that is that it has a pretty good battery life so far it has a big 1500 milliamp battery and with a processor you know not as powerful as a dual-core processor it seems to offer better battery performance than other devices so far I'm Brian Bennett and this has been a first book of the tmobile mytouch q
