T-Mobile
has released a new version of the myTouch 3G. It now offers more memory, twice as much storage, and a more standard headphone jack, but the price for this Android OS-based smartphones stays the same.
The new version — which goes under the same name as its predecessor — is bundled with an 8 GB microSD memory card, while its predecessor came with a 4 GB one. It also has more RAM than the original: 288 MB.

After Dell CEO Michael Dell confirmed that the company’s Android smartphone would, in fact, make it to the US – albeit with some changes from the original Chinese model – details of a second Android-based device have leaked. According to Tinhte.com and another image supplied to SlashGear, you’re looking at the Dell Streak, a 5-inch WVGA 800 x 480 touchscreen Android 2.0 Donut MID, with WiFi, Bluetooth and 3G WWAN connectivity. Front photos of the Dell Streak – together with size comparison shots – in the gallery, together with a hands-on video after the cut.
The Dell Streak – as the prototype is labelled – also has a 5-megapixel camera with dual-LED flash, a microSD card slot and a 1,300mAh battery. Hands-on feedback is scant, aside from that the WiFi was very sensitive. From the video, below, we can see that hardware controls are minimal, with three touch-sensitive buttons along the right-hand side of the display and volume controls – together with a camera shortcut and an unknown key – on the top edge. A multifunction dock connector is on the bottom edge, and there appears to be a front-facing camera – presumably for video calls – on the left-hand side of the display. On the “engineering sample” label, meanwhile, the model variant is listed as “US”, suggesting that at least prototypes using US-spec 3G are being tested.
The existence of the device fits in with rumors from back in June, when the Wall Street Journal reported that Dell had been developing Android MID prototypes. Described as “larger than Apple’s iPod touch”, the speculation was fuelled by later comments from Dell’s consumer devision president, Ronald Garriques, who suggested that the company was considering screen sizes ranging from 4- to 12-inches.

Samsung Highlight for $18.88 (which is also eligible for a FlexPay plan), and the Blackberry 8120 for $28.88 (frost, white, and black) which is also eligible for Flexpay–but unlimited messaging is required for this device. Well there you have it! Head over to your nearest Walmart store or shop online to take advantage of these offers!
JBLmobileG1 says:I myself work at WalMart and I must say we offer some great prices on these phones compaired to the Tmobile corp. Stores. I couldnt’t believe it when the G1 dropped to $48.88 when I paid almost $180 with an upgrade at launch throught tmobiles website. And before anyone says they are refurbs or there is a catch… they are NEW and there really isn’t any catch. All you need to do is sign up with a new 2yr. Contract or renew your contract if your eligable (you need to be out of your contract). Also the minimum data is re quired on the G1 or mytouch which is $24.99 a month. As for the blackberry you need either the unlimited text plan and/OR the data plan in order to get it at the $28.88 price which only makes sence because to even enjoy the phone you’d want at least one of the two required options. Other than that…. they are Great deals which cannot be beat. The G1 is an Awesome phone and although it has some flaws (all phones do) its worth every penny. As for the Mytouch… again its an Awesome deal and an Awesome phone (Andoid is Great) and its $100 less than Tmobile. Blackberrys for $30 can’t be touched either…. I have owned a BB in the past and it is a pretty nice phone with a good solid OS. Choices choices choices…. all great deals at Great Walmart prices.
