T-Mobile myTouch redubbed ‘myTouch 4G,’ landing on November 3rd

Ooh, Sprint’s just going to love this. T-Mobile just announced the launch details for its latest HSDPA+ handset, with a November 3rd touchdown date (possibly to go along with new data plans ?) and a $200 pricetag (after $50 mail-in rebate). But just to spice things up a little bit, T-Mobile also swapped names on the phone: what was previously known as the myTouch — a back-to-basics follow-up to the original myTouch 3G and myTouch 3G Slide — is now the myTouch 4G. In fact, it looks like T-Mobile has had this name for a little while , but was just waiting for the right moment to spring it on us. Wait, you didn’t know HSPA+ was 4G ? Ah, welcome to Sprint / Verizon / AT&T’s branding nightmare . T-Mobile myTouch redubbed ‘myTouch 4G,’ landing on November 3rd originally appeared on Engadget on Wed, 27 Oct 2010 18:58:00 EDT.
