Users can set myModes to switch at a designated time, by location, or manually with the option to create and store up to 10 customised modes.
In addition, the new 3G Slide also features Genius Button that enables the use of voice commands to control the phone and it’s features including making calls, composing and sending texts and e-mails, searching the web or your surroundings.
Andrew Sherrard, vice president of product development at T-Mobile USA, said: “Many smartphones are increasingly powerful in their features and specifications without continuing to improve the main reason that so many people have mobile phones, the ability to communicate with each other.
“The new myTouch 3G Slide is a smart and sleek phone that fits into your pocket, your budget and your family life with exclusive T-Mobile features that put communication with your closest family and friends front and centre.”
