There's a lot to like about the myTouch 4G Slide. The keyboard is very good, though not as good as the HTC Arrive and other HTC slider phones of the past. The camera is also very good, though not as good as the superior optics and mechanical shutter...

We can't help but like this well made dual core Android smartphone. Sure, we'd like a clickier keyboard and the front design is a bit busy (please get rid of that Genius button!), but the phone is fast, well made and the camera is excellent. Top...
