hi I'm Mike been for all shadow calm and today we're going to do a little device showdown with the two new offerings from t-mobile the mytouch 3G and the dash 3g as you can see here I got some of the older lineup thrown out here let the old dash that off to the side it old wing the old shadow and the newer lineup the UM a shadow the g1 and what we're going to take a closer look at today is the dash 3g and the mytouch 3g so let's start with the mytouch comes in a nice case zipper case and I've already turned this one on and played with it I chose to get the maroon model because I'm tired of the black and white at the tmobile store there are different shells that you can get for the back comes off real easy don't try to force it just press down on it and it will come off a little bit of pressure so don't try to pry it open or anything like that so this case has some foam in there for cleaning up drool and whatnot there's some pockets built in here so after getting rid of the foam you can use this case for more accessories open up this little tab little velcro and there's a quick start guide some tips a pamphlet on customizing get creating your own shell and then a screen protector which is always handy on the left-hand side you have a fancy wall charger it's USB obviously some nicer earbuds the down below the ear buds are actually 3.5 millimeter even though the bottom of did my touch you need the adapter so the adapter is actually in the case there's a soft case for shinin nub keeping it from scratching and here's the adapter so you plug your headphones in there get a little push the talk button plugs into the bottom of my touch you're good to go otherwise they're just headphones unless we got in here some foam pads and rubber rings and a clip for the headphones and a USB cable and then underneath there more straps for accessories and whatnot so you can pretty much use this case as a travel case for mytouch or any other t mobile phones that you might have alright so here's the mytouch let's do little side by side comparison with the g1 one thing that you'll notice with the mytouch is actually a smaller device it is thinner slightly thinner it's more rounded versus the blocky appearance of the g1 and it doesn't have a physical keyboard so when you turn it on you use the on-screen keyboard and either profile or landscape mode and one thing many g1's users will notice right off the bat is the smoothness of the trackball it's actually quite sexy versus the g1's trackball it does have more rom than the g1 and on whole I think at g1 users will like the mytouch it is it's a better it's a more rounded phone will go into apps and whatnot later but it it does run Android it comes with Android 1.5 installed so you don't really need to mess around with updates but it will update automatically just like the g one next up we got the dash 3g now this is actually a very nice smartphone and the case comes with some random goodies I already took out the wall charger on this but the this car charger is actually one of the best better ones I've seen on the market because of the coil it doesn't get caught up in the car it's always ready to go there's one of those proprietary adapters charging cables that you can plug 2.5 millimeter or 3.5 millimeter into comes with a case with the strap as well as a soft case somewhere those headphones that we're all used to and then in here is the user manuals so side-by-side comparison with dash 3g there's the old dash set that off to the side the wing and the old shadow as well as the new shadow the mytouch and the g1 so it makes their current offering from t-mobile nice and sleek one thing I like about the dash is that it is Windows Mobile meaning that there is windows mobile office on there or actually yeah mobile office well you won't be able to create documents from the get-go you will be able to read and edit documents so we do have fixed for creating documents but it's basically the same size and form factor as the old dash it is slightly thinner it's not as thick and it is just about the same size same height it's a little bit taller now what the dash here has the new dash 3g has gps it does have 3g faster processor 528 megahertz processor as well as twice the ram and twice the wrong it does have a 2 megapixel camera on the back so you can take video and nice pictures one thing about the keyboard though that took some getting used to is that it's a 44 key keyboard versus a 39 key keyboard so the keys are a little they feel kind of squished together I whereas on the old dash it was easy to just press buttons on this one sometimes I find myself pressing the Alt key when I mean to press 0 and when I mean to press for impressing the asterisk key in our next video we're going to go into depth on the dash 3g zaps and what they bring to the table and until next time I'm Mike Benton for all shadow com
