T-Mobile myTouch 3G Slide coming June 2 for $180

So T-Mobile’s myTouch 3G Slide — the QWERTY-enabled version of the venerable myTouch 3G — has been priced and dated, and we’re happy to see that “expected to be available in June” has turned out to mean the very beginning of the month; June 2, to be exact, in your choice of red, white, or black. What makes us less happy, though, is the notion of paying $179.99 after a $50 mail-in rebate for an Android device that now has the unenviable job of lying in the massive shadow created by the brilliant EVO 4G. Granted, the two phones are for very different carriers, but that doesn’t really excuse T-Mobile from offering up a phone with a lower-class processor, 40 percent of the screen resolution, and three megapixels lopped off the camera for just $30 less upfront, does it? Time for some serious price correction across the smartphone landscape, wethinks.
