MyTouch 3G Slide

Had your heart set on getting your own white iPhone 4 on Thursday morning? Although no one has been able to crack the case of the missing white iPhone, you still have a few options — wait until the white iPhone 4 hits the market sometime "later this Summer," or suck it up and buy a different model phone. Good news is, there are a few awesome alternatives that can satisfy your color preference, and your need for a new gadget at the same time — you just have to know where to look. Best part? You probably won't have to call in sick to work and sleep on the sidewalk to get your hands on one.

• BlackBerry Bold 9000 ($200) — A favorite of celebrities and business-types alike, the BlackBerry Bold 9000 is sleek, stylish and is a tried-and-true smartphone from the inside out. A crisp and clear VGA backlit LCD screen shows over 65,000 colors, comes with a 2MP camera, and syncs up with your Windows Media Player or iTunes for easy transfer of your favorite jams.
• HTC EVO 4G ($200) — The iPhone 4's biggest competition just got a little more colorful. The white HTC EVO 4G will be sold exclusively at Best Buy starting on July 11, but you can place your pre-order now.

There's been a ton of new Android phones hitting the market recently, and if you're on the T-Mobile train, you can get excited about the new MyTouch 3G Slide hitting the network on June 2. I'm a sucker for white gadgets, so the first thing that caught my eye was the crisp exterior hue. Also on the outside, you'll find a sliding QWERTY keyboard (in place of the touchscreen keys of the original MyTouch 3G), a 3.4-inch screen, and a 5MP camera with flash.

Coming in white, black, or red, the MyTouch 3G slide will be priced at $180 (after a $50 mail-in rebate) with a two-year service contract. If you don't want to switch networks and spring for the $200 HTC EVO 4G over on Sprint (which will be released just two days later), then I suppose the MyTouch 3G Slide will do just fine for T-Mobile fans.
