T-Mobile myTouch 4G Software Overview

What apps come pre-loaded on the T-Mobile myTouch 4G? Glad you asked! Let's take a look!

This iteration of the myTouch comes pre-laoded with a customized version of HTC's Sense UI. In all honesty, this is the first version of Sense that I've used that didn't irritate me in use. There are still some things that I think the stock Android OS and app suite does better, but I'm glad that HTC is continuing to push their UI forward and make improvements that are more in-line with what the rest of Android looks and feels like (or is it the other way around?).

As with most carrier-subsidized or carrier-branded phones, the myTouch 4G comes with its share of "bloatware" -- software that you may not want or use, but you're stuck with because it comes with the phone. Most of these apps, however, are small enough not to get in the way, and are nice to have just in case. Many are demos, providing one or two levels (Asphalt, Rockband), or time-limited subscriptions (T-Mobile TV), but they are still pretty cool and could come in hand to keep you entertained when waiting for a train or flight.

Let's take a quick walk through of all the stuff that comes pre-loaded on the myTouch 4G.

That happens on 2.2.1 joe, wen i put that on my vibrant, g2, AND nexus, it does it every time :) ONLY if you check the box during setup to backup data to your google account

@ItsAndroidsWorld so it's a 2.2.1 thing that comes with enabling "backup data"... makes sense to me, though I'd have written it to say "backup data and app installation history".

[scheme007]

I would think you would call it "kick" because it's not spelled "quick"...it's spelled "qik" not "quick".
