HTC Doubleshot

“The myTouch 4G Slide is a great all-around phone. Yes, everybody should try it out and make their own choice, but I would feel good recommending it to anyone. The camera works mostly as advertised, and a photobug would have a ball with it. T-Mobile did a fine job keeping the best features of Sense 3.0 while still giving it their own touch. While it took me a couple days to get used to the keyboard, I ended up really liking it, and found it one of the best I've used. While it may not be a stylish as the Sensation, it's tastefully done and a great choice for anyone who needs or wants a sliding QWERTY keyboard, and I hope HTC can offer the Doubleshot to folks on other carriers as well.”

“T-Mobile has another killer smartphone on its hands with the $199 myTouch 4G Slide. It may be on the hefty side and lacks some of the Sensation 4G's interface enhancements, but this handset has an amazingly fast camera that's packed with high-end features. T-Mobile users clamoring for a physical keyboard who want something a little more grown up than the Sidekick 4G will find the myTouch 4G Slide to be a great fit.”

“We’re absolutely over the fact that the original myTouch 3G Slide wasn’t all that much of a standout hit last year, but after looking meticulously at its successor, we’re amazed at how the device has transcended on so many levels. Obviously, some might still be attracted to the equally capable HTC Sensation 4G on Tmo’s lineup – though, you’ll be missing out with what the T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide has to offer. Actually, it boasts pretty much everything that the Sensation 4G has to offer, while priced similarly at $200 on-contract, but taking into account that it sports a considerably superior camera, there is no reason why this one should be a no-brainer decision! And yes, it undeniably flaunts the best camera on any HTC device we’ve seen so far – so you won’t be disappointed at all!”

“T-Mobile and HTC deserve praise for elevating the T-Mobile MyTouch 4G Slide from the ranks of flashy, midrange phones into a premium handset with some great additional features and specs that anyone would admire. Both the 4G speeds and 1.2GHz dual-core processor kept videos and the Web humming along, and the slightly modified HTC Sense interface is both powerful and easy to use. The fancy camera features didn't completely live up to their elevated promise, but the tools are generally useful and fun, even if they didn't uniformly perform as well as we had hoped. The keyboard was another area of disappointment, but one that will have a longer-lasting effect on cell phone owners than the camera. In the end, the MyTouch 4G Slide is a very worthy, very welcome member of the MyTouch family.”
