HTC, Fender Team Up To Create Every Geeky Guitarist's Dream SmartphoneHTC, Fender Team Up To Create Every Geeky Guitarist's Dream Smartphone

One of the faults of the T-Mobile myTouch 3G is that it doesn't have a 3.5mm headset jack. Those looking to listen to music from their device need to use a clunky miniUSB-to-3.5mm adapter. Not any more. A unique partnership with luthier Fender adds a 3.5mm headset jack to the Google phone.If there's one thing I enjoy more than smartphones, it's music and playing guitar. Pairing the two seems like an improbable scenario, but HTC and Fender have made it happen.

As part of T-Mobiles holiday line-up of phones, it announced the myTouch 3G Fender Limited Edition

Anticipated for later this year, the myTouch 3G Fender Limited Edition has a guitar-inspired wood-grain finish and provides access to the growing Android Market, which now offers more than 10,000 applications. In addition to offering the vast personalization options and integration of Google services available on the myTouch 3G, customers can also enjoy a more complete mobile media experience with a 3.5mm headset jack, pre-installed 16GB microSD card, and exclusive pre-loaded video and audio clips by iconic musicians.

Yeah, this is the kind of phone for me. T-Mobile didn't say exactly when the myTouch 3G Fender Edition, but you can sign me up.

Fender, of course, is the American guitar maker that produces the iconic Stratocaster, Telecaster and other guitars. Famous musicians making Fender guitars their weapon of choice include Jimi Hendrix, Stevie Ray Vaughn and Eric Clapton.
