Review: Huawei myTouch and myTouch Q for T-Mobile

I'm an advanced android user and also tech support for phones, so I was initially concerned when I learned that the new myTouch line was going to be put out by Huawei. This was the company responsible for the Tap and the Comet, so their track record hadn't been the best, but their Springboard tablet was pretty solid, so there was at least a chance for redemption.

After playing with them, I can attest that this is a solid entry level smartphone for the price - enough so that my girlfriend had my blessing when she decided to upgrade her old Samsung Comeback to get her first true smartphone. (As she is on a Value plan, she paid the full cost up front, which is $350. Had she not insisted on a physical keyboard I would have steered her towards buying the Nexus direct from Google instead.) The phone does everything that she wants, and as soon as someone posts a true root method we'll take out all the bloatware. Everything in the review is right on the mark, except I will say that I found the slider on the Q to operate very smoothly, and the speaker was very good for media. Overall it's a very good phone for new smartphone users.
