The battery of the new phone has a 6 hours talking autonomy and up to 600 hours in stand-by mode. The phone has QWERTY keyboard, memory that can be extended up to 16 GB and comes in package with an 8 GB microSDHC card.
Other details
The connectivity of the myTouch 3G slide model is high, and if the first model didn’t had Bluetooth support, well this model solved this problem. The phone supports GPRS and EDGE, both at 10 class, 3G with HSDPA and HSUPA, Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g and BlueTooth 2.0 with A2DP and USB/miniUSB.
