In just a few short days, T-Mobile is expected to release the updated version of their myTouch 3G handset. Among the notable changes in design are a 3.5mm headphone jack and more memory. A leaked internal screenshot for T-Mobile indicates a software enhancement will be joining the party too.
The folks over at TmoToday have a screenshot shows the myTouch 3G with 3.5mm headphone jack (catchy title) will also offer the unique soft keyboard, Swype. For those of you who aren’t familiar with it, Swype works by dragging your finger from letter to letter, rather than pecking them. It’s rather unconventional, but we hear it’s pretty awesome.We’re not sure what kind of learning curve it has, however, it appears it could be a preferred way of typing.
It’s interesting to see something like this being bundled with a handset, but it does help differentiate it from other Android phones. At least out of the box. Swype also comes preloaded on the Samsung Omnia II.
Fun Fact: Swype was founded by the same guy (Cliff Kushler) who invented T9 texting.
Thanks for the heads up, Jim!

Good information. Currently I just got a Samsung Omnia SCH-i910 in the mail from ebay, and it presently would seem that it’s at stock settings for that Verizon Network. I program to make use of this telephone on Metro PCS. I also wish to set Windows Mobile 6.5 on here, but I’m not confident which purchase I ought to do this in. Need to I bring it to Metro PCS as is and have it activated, after which it afterwards flash the ROM with 6.five? Or ought to I modify the ROM initial and then acquire it to Metro PCS? I’ve been browsing all around and I’m unable to discover the answer to this.
