60-second review | HTC myTouch cellphone

Similar stories:

bcarey@MiamiHerald.com

Product: HTC's myTouch, sold by T-Mobile.

Features: This touch-screen phone uses Google's Android operating system, so it integrates with your Gmail account, Google search and maps. The camera is 3.1 megapixels with auto focus. Customize your home screen icons with your favorite shortcuts. Comes in black, white and merlot.

Price: $199.99 with a new 2-year contract

Ups: Typing on this screen isn't too shabby even though the screen is smaller than an iPhone, and you can type horizontally when flipped. Lots of good apps available in the Android store.

Downs: The camera may be good, but the video recording quality is lacking. When the screen flips between horizontal and vertical, sometimes the open application or website will reload, slowing you down.

Bottom line: Having a large number of apps to download gives it some of that coveted iPhone-coolness factor. And for an extra $20 you can have the back plastic shell come in any color or design -- you can even use your own images. T-Mobile really means it when they market this phone as being ``100% You.''
