Thanks for the unboxing.
But ew, I'm definitely going to get some kind of unbranded Magic/Ion if I ever get the money up (I want one to tinker with for when I brick my g1 lol). That little my logo in the back ruins the phone,just makes it look cheaper and ruins the awesome form it had going on.
I just have a question - does the "my touch" have multi-touch? Without a keyboard, I'm thinking its imperative, but I know how that turned out on the G1 (which compensates with fake touch and a comfy keyboard).

What exactly is "fake" touch? Multi-touch is Apple's method of allowing the screen to recognize two fingers at once. There is no "Fake" touch. There is resistive (Windows Mobile, some TouchWiz Samsungs) and capacitive (G1, Palm Pre, iPhone, BlackBerry Storm). The Ion/Magic/MyTouch are capacitive touchscreens.

I meant fake touch as in how the G1 can be modded to use fake multitouch. It actually can't do multitouch, but it can be changed to map two finger movements, but its still considered one touch. Do you have a G1? If not, its hard to explain. But for example, I'm running JF1.51, which uses "multitouch pinch" in the browser and it gets really messed up when you pinch close. Someone told me its something about how the G1 handles the multitouch, it maps the distance between the fingers instead of following those fingers or something. I don't know. The point was if the myTouch has multitouch, I may craigslist one in a few months to use with my G1.

if you mean multi-touch like the iphone does, then the story/rumor I heard was that the double touch thing on the iphone is specifically patented or registered for the iphone. probably makes sense why you haven't seen it on any other smart phones.

WTF - will you people stop leaking stuff

still no 3.5 mm jack, thats a deal breaker for me (coming from a G1) I'd rather wait and forgo the better look and size. HTC wtf honestly...

I played with one of these today at the T-Mobile store. I was checking out the G1 when the guy was like "Wanna check out the new Google phone, the mytouch?" Seemed nice, I wasn't too fond of Android though.

what's with the ladies makeup case that it apparently ships in? that, plus the effeminate "my" badge everywhere makes me wonder about the target audience.
