The phone is powered by a 1. The phone definitely makes use of those relatively powerful specs to power through Sense's animations and added features. Most of the time, the core UI responds with some snap and verve, though I definitely experienced lag in places.
It seems as though HTC has solved Sense's occasional lag and bloat by throwing a powerful processor at it. While it's a solution that works, it would be nice to have that extra power applied to apps and games instead of Sense's overhead.
As long as I'm talking about things that work better but are still aggravating, I'll point out that this is the first Genius-enabled device where I've actually used the feature with anything resembling success. Nuance's voice recognition is as solid as ever and the processor and RAM finally seem to have the oomph to power the feature on the MyTouch 4G Slide.
It's not enough to make me forget that I don't have a Search button, but at least it's usable here. Battery life on the MyTouch 4G Slide is not a major cause for concern. I haven't had a problem getting a full day of moderate usage out of the mAh battery. I actually was able to push it to a day-and-a-half a few times. Unfortunately, getting much more than that is going to be difficult, especially if you go all-out and enable all of the social networking sync functions offered in Sense.
If you are in a place that can get T-Mobile's "4G" service, data speeds are remarkably good, but I generally find that to be the case with T-Mobile. If you can get the "bars," you can get solid download and upload speeds if you haven't guessed, I don't live in a good T-Mobile area. Voice quality is fine here but not particularly notable. You can also enable Wi-Fi Calling on the device. The MyTouch 4G Slide has elegant and solid hardware, decent speeds, and the best overall camera experience I've had on a smartphone in a long time.
Make no mistake, though, this is more MyTouch than Android -- with all of the caveats that distinction brings. I think that experienced Android users will find T-Mobile's Sense skin overwrought and the insistence on replacing Android search with the Genius feature aggravating. I certainly do and I'm not alone in wishing T-Mobile would just cut it out. If these features actually do appeal to you, they run better on the MyTouch 4G Slide than I've seen run before. If you're a shutterbug or are not dogmatic about a pure Android experience, it might still be worth a look.

Called the Active Lockscreen, it allows you to add up to four shortcuts to the lock screen. Dragging any one of these into a ringed area quickly unlocks the phone and opens up the application.
SweepShot is useful for taking wide panoramic images: Simply press the shutter button one time and then sweep across your image as if you were taking a video. The software processes the image into a wide view. ClearShot HDR snaps several images in a range of exposures to create high-definition-range HDR pictures, beautiful for outdoors where the sun can overpower the foreground.
And BurstShot takes five images in succession to make sure you capture the picture you want. I found it useful for fast-moving objects.
Netflix is on the phone for movie and television programming, and the new Zinio Reader app is there for magazines. But Name ID shows most every other caller name too, which I found helpful when using the phone. Android fans that crave a keyboard should consider the T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide, but they should test the keypad to see if they like the light touch. The phone offers solid overall performance, and the camera is much improved.
But on custom rom roms battery life is much better. Question: is there a user of this phone out there that's able to use the 4gb rom they advertized? I only think of it al false advertisment. They'll email you unlock code for your phone. Guys by mistake i downloaded Dragon Dictation Software. And my keyboard has changed. Pls let me know how to get the old keyboard? As i am trying to uninstall this but it is'nt? I've this cell phone for couple of months. It works very good with its stock rom Android 2.
But u can flash CM7 rom which is based on gingerbread rom Android 2.
