Review: HTC myTouch 4G Slide
Calls
The basic calling application works the same as on any other Android phone, though HTC has moved things around a bit. The tabs for sorting through groups of contacts are placed below the dial pad instead of above it. Otherwise, most functions are unaltered.
The 4G Slide also supports T-Mobile's Wi-Fi calling service, which allows customers to make phone calls via their home broadband network.
The 4G Slide carriers over one of my favorite features from the myTouch 4G. Say you dial an area code with the number pad. All the matches in that area code are immediately pulled up into a cover-flow-esque graphic at the top of the screen. You can then swipe left or right through those contact cards to find the right contact/number. It will also tell you how many matches you have for the digits dialed, and preview Facebook profile photos if you've synced a Facebook account. Touch the face of the person you want to call, and the myTouch 4G Slide connects you. Neat.
But who are we kidding, you're not going to do that; you're going to go through your contacts list to find people to call.
Contacts
The contact application behaves similar to the one on HTC's Sense phones, and gets rid of the novel "Faves" feature found on the myTouch 4G. Instead, the 4G Slide takes a more standard approach for managing contacts.
The 4G Slide syncs mail and Facebook databases together and each contact card can include a tome of information about each person. There are some tabs across the bottom that can be used for checking your recent call history, Facebook posts, emails, and text messages to/from the contact being viewer. Reaching out to them in any way requires but the touch of a finger.
