T-Mobile & Fender Teamed Up for Wood-Grain Phone
T-Mobile is teaming up with guitar maker Fender to launch a wood-grain finished edition of its MyTouch 3G smartphone, complete with 3.5mm audio jack and exclusive audio and video from “iconic” musicians. The Bellevue based carrier said the handset runs on Google’s Android operating system for services such as Google Search by voice, Google Maps with Street View, YouTube and Picasa. It also comes with “Sherpa,” a new application that learns and recommends favorite food, stores, and attractions based a user’s preferences. Additional features include 3.2-megapixel camera, music player and access to social networking sites such as Facebook. While this is the first time a guitar maker has helped design a phone, luxury brands have teamed up with handset makers in the past. T-Mobile did not disclose the price of the MyTouch 3G Fender Edition but said that it will be launched later this year.
