Google is trying to make magic happen twice with the launch of the mytouchG3, their follow up to the insanely popular G1 mobile phone. Hundreds of personalized applications and seamless integration with the user’s Google mail accounts made the phone an instant hit. Google has expanded on these features with fresh apps like Google Search by Voice, enhanced photo and video recording as well as instant one click uploads to YouTube and Picasa Web. The mytouchG3, which comes in black, white and merlot (fancy!), is available for pre-order July 8th and for national sale in early August. Assuming you sign up for a two year contract, it will only set you back about $200. The tech geek in me—that refuses to buy an iPhone!—is singing with glee.

What no coverage of the Pre?
Not sure what qualifies as insanely popular for google phones.
Nokia has had a great smartphone out for a while that gets no love.

@Riley: No no no, just no.
Actually this is already out in Europe on the Vodafone network, since February I think.

@Riley: No to the pre. I’ve even seen some of the dumbasses over at Gizmodo cut cake with the keyboard.
