And for those of you out there with an iPhone, yes, it outputs a lot of radiaton.

It seems that Oprah recently showcased the T-Mobile myTouch 3G on the air and offered it to viewers. Luckily, in celebration of the 24th season of the show Oprah has given anyone looking to purchase the phone a promotion code (KICKOFF24) to cut $100 off the device’s price tag.

The code will apparently only work until September 24th, so if you’re looking to get down on this you better do it fast.

HTC has recently announced that they will be porting their highly sought after Sense UI to their Magic handset this October. Unfortunately, those with the American version of the Magic (T-Mobile myTouch 3G) will not be getting the same love due to the “with Google” branding on the back.

The reason for this is that T-Mobile reportedly signed an agreement with Google regarding Android’s licensing that made it unlawful for them to adopt the Sense UI. Bummer.

HTC’s CEO Peter Chou has recently stepped forward to let us know that his company has officially sold over 1 million HTC Magics to date. If you’re scratching your head looking at the above device associated with the name Magic, it’s because branded it’s called the T-Mobile myTouch 3G in the United States.

Furthermore, Chou went on to say that HTC will focus their efforts on releasing more mid-range sub $300 smart phones onto the market for the rest of 2009. In fact, he hopes to have 50-60% of all of HTC’s handset shipments fall into the mid-range category.

Besides that new BlackBerry Gemini that’s now available, T-Mobile has another hot phone waiting for you in its stores. The myTouch 3G is going to cost you $199.99 with a new 2-year agreement, but it’s definitely an Android device worth considering as you’re next smartphone.

RadioShack has long been a retailer of handsets from various carriers including Sprint, AT&T and Verizon. However, a T-Mobile handset has never found its way onto a RadioShack shelf. That could all be a thing of the past as RadioShack and T-Mobile have reportedly inked a partnership.

Apparantly, starting on August 19th, RadioShack will have the myTouch 3G, along with other T-Mobile handsets, on sale in-store.

BGR reports that wireless sales currently announce for 30% of RadioShack’s total revenue, so this recent partnership with T-Mobile should come as no surprise.

If you’re currently a T-Mobile customer and are on the market for a full touch-screen device but have decided not to opt for the myTouch 3G, perhaps you should check out Samsung’s recently announced Highlight handset.

Pictured above, this handset features all of the most sought after features such as an ultra-thin design, 3MP camera with digital zoom and video recording capabilities, stereo blutooth, a microSD slot, A-GPS, HSDPA and a music player with support for MP3, WMA, AAC, AAC+ and eAAC+ files. Additionally, the Samsung Highlight will be available in two color schemes; fire and ice (red and blue?).

So, be sure to keep an eye out for the Samsung Highlight on T-Mobile later this month.

Visual voicemail has been out for some time now on phones such as the iPhone, Samsung Instinct and various Blackberry models. However, most handsets running Google’s Android operating system haven’t gotten the same love.

Luckily, T-Mobile’s myTouch 3G will in fact include visual voicemail and the TmoNews has been kind enough to demo the software for us. You can view 3 videos of the service, here.

Once this software is up and working, the question remains if it will be ported to other Android devices. I guess only time can tell at this point.

How is this even possible? The Hero is probably the best Android phone coming from HTC and T-Mobile is not interested in launching it? According to T-Mobile’s CTO Cole Brodman T-Mobile “has no plans to bring the HTC Hero to market.” Sure it’s understandable that T-Mobile will want to sell the Magic aka myTouch 3G first but why not go for the Hero too? That statement was made during the myTouch 3G launch event and the message is pretty clear. There’s no room for interpretation here! No means no this time.

So now that the Magic is available for pre-order we have only one question left for T-Mobile: what carrier is going to launch the HTC Hero and who when will that happen?

Just yesterday we learned that T-Mobile would be offering the myTouch 3G for $199.99 with a 2-year contract. Now, we find that the carrier has put the myTouch 3G up for pre-order with a gauranteed delivery by August 5th.

For those who don’t know, the myTouch 3G will be T-Mobile’s latest Android offering and will feature a 3.2 inch touch screen, a 3.2MP camera, GPS, WiFi, HSDPA and a microSD slot.

This handset is cool and all but what I’m really waiting for is the HTC Hero.

We knew this was coming and it is now official. Well almost official since T-Mobile is yet to announce its availability dates and pricing. But according to these leaked shots, the myTouch 3G, or the HTC Magic, is going to be available from T-Mobile for $199.99 with a 2-year contract. Would you pay that much for the Magic or would you rather wait for the Hero to appear in stores?

If you’re already a postpaid or FlexPay customer you will be able to pre-order the Android phone and have it delivered to your door anytime from July 29 to August 3. Otherwise you’ll have to wait for the phone a few more days. So what do you think Android lovers? Is the Magic worthy of your attention at that price?

It’s crazy I know, but instead of actually announcing the next Android phone available, T-Mobile has just confirmed that next week the phone will be announced. Wait, we’ve actually seen that happen with other carriers so why should it bother us now?

A company spokesperson had this to say about the second Android phone coming from T-Mobile:

Next week, T-Mobile will share more details about its next Android-powered phone, the follow-on device to the T-Mobile G1 with Google.

It was about time T-Mobile announced the myTouch 3G (or however they want to call it) since the Pre and the iPhone have already been unleashed from their cages. The spokesman hasn’t actually mentioned the name of the phone or any of its features but according to rumors it has to be the HTC handset we’re expecting. What do you say folks? What do you pick between Android, webOS or iPhone 3.0?

The phone formally known as the T-Mobile G2, or HTC Magic, or whatever else you want to call it was recently announced to be coming to T-Mobile sometime this summer officially known in the States as the T-Mobile myTouch 3G.

News comes to us from The Wall Street Journal who says that T-Mobile is gearing up to launch their second Android powered phone in the coming weeks. Of course T-Mobile has kept generally quiet about the whole situation.

However, it’s definitly safe to assume that this phone will in fact be coming to the US via T-Mobile sometime later this summer.
