hello everybody i'm lynn MA associate editor at cnet com here to show you guys the tmobile mytouch by LG the phone runs on android 2.3 Gingerbread on t mobile's 4g network and it has a 3.8 inch AMOLED display above the display is a front-facing vga camera and below are three navigational buttons and the buttons actually don't stay lit so when you want to use it at night it's kind of inconvenient there's also no search button and in order to access that you actually hold the Settings button down on the back of the phone there is this nice soft black coating that I really like and these tapered edges that I'm big fan of and there's a 5-megapixel camera too the one thing about the camera is that there is no LED flash which is kind of a big disappointment because you can't take pictures at night or in low lighting on the back there's also the output speaker and the quality of it is kind of low so when you listen to videos or music the sound actually kind of bounces from the back and you hear it and you feel it on your phone and it makes the sound quality kind of muffled and unclear as far as software goes the phone comes packed with a lot of pre-installed apps like t-mobile TV and mobile life organizer unfortunately some of these can't be uninstalled so it might be annoying to some people who don't like it overall I really like this phone you have to keep in mind that it is a mid-tier phone so it doesn't have all the fancy features that higher end phones might have although I did find it really odd that it didn't have an LED flash which is kind of standard in most phones these days I'm Lynn LA and this has been the t-mobile mytouch by LG
