The T-Mobile myTouch used to be the highest-end Android device that you could get, but that's no longer true. Despite the fact, the myTouch is still a great low end device. The myTouch 2, made by Huawei, runs Android 2.3 Gingerbread, so it's not the newest thing ever, but it'll still get the job done. The 4 inch display only has a resolution of 480x800, but the phone does have 1 GB of ram and a 1.3 GHz processor, so it shouldn't be too slow. 4 GB of storage are also on board, as well as a front facing camera and a rear facing 5 MP shooter. Battery life is pretty bad a only 6 hours and 10 minutes of talk time. All in all, the specs aren't too good, but if you can find this phone for the right price, go for it. We've included a user review below, but feel free to share your own thoughts in the comments.
"My current cell phone is the T-Mobile myTouch by Huawei. I would say that the phone is a very average smartphone, but it is certainly acceptable for daily use. It runs on Android, so it is customizable as far as downloading apps goes. Having downloaded many apps ranging from ones like Yelp to Instagram, I have not had any compatibility issues with the current versions on the phone. Browsing on it is nothing special, but I have not run into any problems with running dolphin browser on it. Of course having access to the Android market gives other options for browsers besides the basic browser that comes on the phone. There are times when the phone can be laggy, and I run into this problem mostly when opening up text threads, especially ones that have a high number of messages. In fact, this has crashed the texting program and even made it necessary to restart the phone multiple times back-to-back. It might help to delete messages in a high-count thread, but who wants to do that? The camera is what is expected for a phone in this price range. However, that means there are things missing and the user desires just a little more. In sunny conditions outside, the camera takes some great photos. They are clear, bright, and overall satisfy what a smartphone camera these days should yield. Although great, a more expensive phone with a camera will likely outperform it in size of pictures as well as in other more detailed aspects. The biggest problem with the camera is using it in any conditions that are not outside and sunny, whether that is indoor and lit or outdoor and cloudy. Pictures suddenly become very dull, blurry, and inadequate. Pictures can often turn out too dark to even be useful. The phone is not popular enough for companies to invest a lot in good accessories. This is unfortunate especially with respect to cases and screen protectors. Screen protectors will have to be cut to fit the T-Mobile myTouch. Cases are incredibly cheap and ultimately are too flimsy. In fact, they make it harder to handle the phone because they do not fit snug. That is certainly a shame, because the phone, although slim and fairly light, does not have a good grip to it. The back is a cheap piece of plastic that works, but even after great care and zero drops has accumulated a number of visible wear marks. If considering this phone, expect that the poor grip and lack of accessories will result in dropping it within the first few months of use, which will likely result in a cracked screen or a completely unusable cell phone. The memory is expandable, but if you are the type of person that would want to do a lot of music listening or movie watching, you’d be better served spending more money on a better phone. Overall the phone is great for a normal user. It is possibly simple enough for new smartphone users or older generation users. The T-Mobile myTouch will allow listening to Pandora via Wi-Fi, constant texting, and checking Twitter and Instagram throughout the day on one charge. It is not the best phone out there, but it will do for the cheap price."
