The successor to the T-Mobile G1 is slated to be called myTouch 3G, reported The Wall Street Journal, quoting sources familiar with the device.

Like the T-Mobile G1, the long-rumored myTouch 3G will be manufactured by HTC and is expected to hit the U.S. sometime this summer.

The myTouch 3G will join an arsenal of Google Android-powered devices expected on the market this year. Along with HTC, device makers Samsung and Motorola are working on smartphones based on the open-source operating system. It is expected that as many as 18 Google Android devices could be available soon from various manufacturers and carriers.

It was unclear Wednesday whether the T-Mobile myTouch 3G is the same device as the rumored T-Mobile G2 that was also expected this summer.

The Journal reported that T-Mobile will soon share more details on the upcoming Android device, while a Google spokesperson said the company is "pleased to see more Android-powered devices coming to market."

The myTouch 3G is expected to have a similar design to the HTC Magic, an Android smartphone sold via Vodafone in the U.K. The smartphone will feature a touch screen, but no physical keyboard. The myTouch 3G is also expected to be smaller than the iPhone and slightly rounded with a glossy look. The lack of a physical QWERTY keyboard will make the myTouch 3G slimmer than its predecessor, the G1. The smartphone will also feature the same navigation buttons and trackball in the same locations.

In addition, The Journal reported, the software on the new T-Mobile Android device will be familiar but include a few enhancements, including a voice-activated search function that is an upgrade from the G1 and the inclusion of a video recorder, which was recently added to the G1 via the Android Cupcake software update.

Word of a new Google Android device from T-Mobile comes as the summer smartphone season kicks into high gear. It will compete directly against the new touch-screen titans, the Apple iPhone 3G S and the Palm Pre, two long-awaited devices that are expected to shake up the smartphone market.

The myTouch 3G will also go up against a host of new BlackBerry models from Research In Motion, including the just-unveiled BlackBerry Tour, which threw its hat into the summer smartphone showdown earlier this week.

T-Mobile USA's follow-up to the first "Google phone" will go on sale in early August, the carrier said Monday.

Today T-Mobile USA officially launched its second Android powered smartphone, the myTouch 3G.

Finally, after a long series of rumors and speculations, T-Mobile USA have officially announced their second Android-powered handset.

Tired of the iPhone 3G S and Palm Pre madness and looking for something different? Consider the T-Mobile myTouch 3G, the second Google Android-based phone to hit the U.S.

T-Mobile USA hopes there's room for at least one more device in an already crowded smartphone market.

T-Mobile's second Android phone, the myTouch 3G (previously known as the HTC Magic which we reviewed here), has finally been announced in an official capacity for $200. Its official official name is the "T-Mobile myTouch 3G with Google".

It's basically the same specs as we've seen in other incarnations, and it'll work with T-Mobile's 3G frequencies. We'll take a look at what customizations T-Mobile has put on the phone, but for a general idea of what to expect of this one over the original T-Mobile G1, take a look at our review of the Google Ion.

As the first Android phone, T-Mobile’s G1 was a much welcomed entry into the smartphone market. And it may have been considered the must-have smartphone were it not for a certain device from Apple.

When T-Mobile asked customers what they thought of the G1 Google phone, there were three major complaints. The battery life was anemic, the design was clunky, and where was Outlook?

T-Mobile USA plans to launch in early August the myTouch 3G, the follow-up to the T-Mobile G1, the first phone powered by Google's (GOOG Quote) Android software.
