T-Mobile USA will soon have a new myTouch Android smartphone, namely the T-Mobile myTouch Slide (or myTouch2 – it’s not clear yet what the handset’s official name is). The folks over at Droid Developer have it that the myTouch2 / myTouch Slide is actually the HTC Espresso – one of the phones included in HTC’s 2010 line-up. The big difference between the myTouch2 / myTouch Slide and the original T-Mobile myTouch (aka HTC Magic) is that the former comes with a sliding QWERTY keyboard. There’s also an optical trackpad instead of a trackball.

It definitely isn’t a Modern Warfare 2 killer as I thought. As a fan of the Battlefield series from way back, Bad Company 2 brings back the same tactical excitement with the addition of vulgarity and adrenaline. So the short of it is if you’re wanting that fast, arcade action from shooters, Modern Warfare 2 is the Diablo II “quick in, quick out” of this genre. But if you’re looking for a deeper experience where “there is no I in team” and squad based tactics matter, Bad Company 2 should not be ignored
