We’ve already seen the myTouch 3G up close and personal at Mobile World Congress 2009 and also at CTIA 2009, so specs and features shouldn’t be too much a surprised. It has more RAM – 192MB – so it should run quicker and be able to multitask more comfortably than the G1. There will be an on-screen keyboard – which is only available in portrait orientation, not landscape. myTouch 3G is powered by Google Android 1.5 operating system (aka Cupcake) when it drops.
In the non-final hardware we’ve played with, the key change are the hardware buttons on the myTouch 3G’s “chin” section. The prototype has thin, sliver-style keys running under the capacitive touchscreen, together with a single button (”Menu”) to the left of the trackball. The final hardware will have four square keys under the screen, with functions switched around to leave call send/end on keys either side of the trackball.
