This means I can add on the Web 'n' Walk Plus or Max packages as and when I need them at the discounted rates when using them as add ons. They seemed a bit confused at this request at first and had to 'speak to their superiors' but eventually agreed that there was no reason that I shouldn't be sent the USB Stick. My mobile contract recently expired and instead of upgrading with a new mobile phone I chose the Huawei E170 T-Mobile Web 'n' Walk Stick. That said, on the plus side, the MyTouch phones do offer a healthy 1GB of RAM, and run on T-Mobile's speedy HSPA+ network.Using a Huawei E170 (T-Mobile Web 'n' Walk USB Stick) with Mac OS X Leopard These specs may have been competitive a year ago, but they're not good enough today. The duo features just 4GB of internal storage (although there is a microSD expansion slot), a single-core 1.4GHz Qualcomm processor, a 5MP rear camera and a 0.3MP front-facing camera. The Atrix HD is an entry-level phone at a entry-level price, but it features a 1280x720 display that rivals the best screens in higher-priced smartphonesĪs for internal components, the specs don't get much better for the MyTouch and MyTouch Q. Take, for example, the Motorola Atrix HD, which AT&T is selling for $100. Yes, the MyTouch and MyTouch Q are entry-level phones, but rivals are selling much better products in the same price bracket.

It gets worse: The 4-inch touchscreens on both phones failed to pick up all of my touch, tap and swipe inputs. This interface change is ostensibly designed to the make the phones easier to use, but because the phones' screen resolution is so low (just 800x480), the icons and the recent applications box look cramped. The phones also include a modified app launcher with a box at the top of the screen that lists recently used apps. Rotating either phone from portrait to landscape results in icons and widgets that disappear and reappear as they attempt to keep up with what you're doing. The operating system itself, which is saddled with T-Mobile's MyTouch OS changes, frequently stuttered during the last two days on both the MyTouch and MyTouch Q. Worse yet, Android and most apps run terribly slowly on the MyTouch.

Essentially, Huawei's MyTouch phones are now two generations behind the curve, which means newer apps might not run on the handsets, and Android usability advancements are off the table. This is especially troubling considering that Google recently released Android 4.1 (Jelly Bean) as an over-the-air update to the Galaxy Nexus smartphone, and the Nexus 7 and Motorola Xoom tablets. Given that Ice Cream Sandwich made its debut in November 2011, the Huawei MyTouch line shouldn't be debuting on an operating system that's so far behind the times.
