T-Mobile MyTouch 4G Slide unboxing video

The T-Mobile MyTouch 4G Slide has been the subject of rumour and speculation for weeks but the device finally went on sale in the US last week.

The T-Mobile branded handset, manufactured by HTC, definitely sits at the top end of the market and in terms of specification is similar to the HTC Sensation albeit that the 4G slide has a full hardware QWERTY keyboard which, as the name suggests, slides out from underneath the screen.

With the QWERTY keyboard you might think that the MyTouch was all about productivity but tucked away on the back is an 8 megapixel camera and dual LED flash. Whilst that in itself may not seem too out of the ordinary, thanks to its clever backside illuminated sensor it’s claimed to be "the most advanced camera of any smartphone" with features such as zero shutter-lag, SweepShot panorama mode and HDR modes.

Whilst the T-Mobile MyTouch 4G Slide is USA only, for the moment at least, we’ve got one in to review, starting with the unboxing video below.
