Nothing like a long week of flub ups and for T-Mobile. The myTouch Q and, what ever the other one is called, hit the web and then was pulled. Which is odd that they would pull it and then announce it only a few days later. I guess they weren’t really prepared were they? Well, after absolutely no anticipation, T-Mobile has finally made the new mid-ish ranged device public knowledge.
They didn’t release anything special or any new information. There still is no release date or price available. They did however make mention of the alternate colors that will be available. The myTouch will come in black or white and the myTouch Q will be come in gray or violet. Feel free to check out the entire release below.
