As if the summer of smartphones wasn't already in full swing, T-Mobile Monday debuted its second phone based on Google's Android platform. Known as myTouch, the new T-Mobile phone is a touch-screen device manufactured by HTC and will be T-Mobile's next Google Android phone following its G1, which debuted last fall and according to T-Mobile has surpassed one million sales.

According to Reuters and numerous other reports on T-Mobile's plans, the new myTouch phone will not have a physical keyboard, but rather a touch-screen display. The myTouch phone will also sport a 3.2-megapixel camera, video capabilities and a music player, and according to T-Mobile will be lighter in weight and have longer battery life than the G1 phone.

It'll be available to T-Mobile customers at the end of July for $199 with a two-year lock-in, and its official name is T-Mobile myTouch 3G. It'll also feature version 1.5 of Google's Android software, which current G1 users already have.

Andrew Sherrard, vice president of product innovation at T-Mobile, told Reuters, "The story is personalization." His suggestion was that T-Mobile's myTouch would allow users to put custom home screens and other preferences on their phones, and Google Android would adapt to remember and update those preferences.

T-Mobile USA late last week unveiled yet another smartphone, the T-Mobile Dash 3G, which is T-Mobile's first phone to run on Microsoft's Windows Mobile operating system. T-Mobile also said last week it would continue to expand 3G network coverage, hoping to reach more than 200 million U.S. users by the end of 2009.
