T-mobile’s myTouch & myTouch Q
I want to buy a Smartphone but I don't know about it well. Recently I heard about T-mobile's myTouch and myTouch Q Smartphones. Can I choose it for my first use of Smartphone? If yes, why can’t another brand?Â

Of course you can.
Those two phones are very similar but also with some differences and I'd rather say that they complete each other. Let's try to compare them head to head and see which one is better for you.
– Obviously MyTouch Q has an excellent physical keyboard, which is quite handy if you're a fan of texting, but the non-Q version has a larger display, myTouch Q has a 3.5" 320×480 HVGA TFT LCD display, myTouch has a 3.8" 480×800 WVGA AMOLED display, which is quite impressive and shows much better graphics quality and you'll be able to see a lot more content while browsing on the internet)
– The Q-version is thicker and heavier than the non-Q version
– They both have a only 5 megapixel camera, advantage is that myTouch has a front-facing camera so you'll be able to make video chats, while the Q-version does not, but comes with a flash, which doesn't change a thing considering they don't have a good camera
– They both run on Android 2.3.4 "Gingerbread" and both have 1Ghz processor with 512MB RAM, but for some reason the non-Q version seems to performs better on benchmarks, while the Q-version lags quite a bit.
So if you're still wondering, I'd strongly recommend the myTouch (non-Q version) of the series
It is both a good choice for smartphones as T-Mobile MyTouch Q has a 4G data and a physical keyboard plus the entry price of $50 is kind of appealing. My Touch and My Touch Q from LG are both intuitive and very easy to use and easy to set up and would be a perfect time for moving into smartphones.
