On Tuesday, T-Mobile USA announced its plan to release a new Google Android smartphone in early summer. Though the carrier didn't go into much detail about the device, it did say that the product would be a follow-up to the T-Mobile G1, so our money's on the HTC Magic/Google Ion, which is currently available through Vodafone in Europe and Rogers Wireless in Canada.

To add fuel to the fire, Engadget Mobile has what appears to be the artwork for the product's sales packaging, and sure enough, the HTC Magic is pictured on the front. But more interesting is the name: T-Mobile MyTouch 3G. In addition, it looks like the smartphone will be offered in black, burgundy, or white. The artwork certainly draws attention, but I'm not so sure about the name.

I got a T-Mobile Wing (HTC) from a guy off of Craigslist who upgraded to the G1. (I'm a Mac, my phone is a PS) My Wing recently started freezing up on me every time I use it and I don't want to change phone

carriers. A friend of mine owns a Samsung HTC phone from another carrier and likes the customizable features on it which are similar to Android. I just pre-ordered the myTouch 3G today. Looking for more
