If you're familiar with the MyTouch Q's predecessor, the MyTouch 4G Slide, you won't find many surprises here. Also a QWERTY slider, the MyTouch Q's look and feel are very similar and it's practically the same size. Measuring 4.7 inches tall by 2.5 inches wide and 0.5 inch thick, the MyTouch Q is not small or trim by modern definitions. And tipping the scales at 5.6 ounces, the phone isn't light either. Compared with much thinner smartphones like the Samsung Galaxy S II for T-Mobile, the MyTouch Q is plump and portly. Still, I found its softly curved edges comfortable to hold, and the gray soft-touch back coating provides a sure grip and repels grease and prints. Eschewing the large 4.3-inch or even 4.5-inch panels gracing many of today's modern Android handsets, the MyTouch Q relies on a smaller 3.5-inch LCD screen. Immediately, I noticed how fuzzily the low-resolution screen (480x320 pixels) rendered details in app icons, photos, and especially text. Contrast wasn't great either, with the black background of the Android app tray, for instance, appearing grayer than it should. Viewing angles also were disappointing and tilting the device in any direction off axis quickly killed image quality. Below the screen are illuminated capacitive buttons for typical Android controls including Menu, Home, and Back. Instead of the Search key, though, there is the Genius button, represented by a circular "G" logo. Long-pressing this key, a staple of T-Mobile MyTouch devices, fires up the phone's voice command capabilities. You can tell the MyTouch Q to do simple tasks like "Send text message to John Smith, running late," or "Find the nearest espresso." The MyTouch even can be commanded by voice to launch specific applications or play favorite music, which is handy if the phone is buried deep in a pocket or bag. In my experience, the feature worked as advertised. That said, don't be fooled into thinking this is as powerful or intelligent as the Siri assistant on the iPhone 4S.

I can't get all the apps I like or that I have on Android 4
The phone met my expectations, which were not very high. I do not use it with a Data plan, so the wifi feature is helpful and allows internet access from home or businesses that have wifi access. The speed is a bit slow for today's standard, and the operating system is Android 2.X. It works, but is not the newest. I can't get all the apps I like or that I have on Android 4.X tablet, but, hey, for the price, I could not beat the deal.

I absolutely love it! I got it faster than I expected
I absolutely love it! I got it faster than I expected, it was brand new in the box and it works great. The only minor complaint I have is that the touchscreen is extremely sensitive. But with the slide out keyboard, it isn't really an issue.
