by Brian Bennett

The new $49.99 T-Mobile MyTouch Q by Huawei offers a physical keyboard, a rare sight in Android smartphones.

A decent display
You won't be blown away by the MyTouch Q's 4-inch (800x480 pixels) LCD screen. It doesn't get very bright but it is bigger and sharper than the previous MyTouch Q's display.
A nimble budget camera
You'll find a 5-megapixel camera that's quick on the draw for a budget phone.
Type with competence
The T-Mobile MyTouch Q offers a four-row QWERTY keyboard that makes for accurate if basic typing.
Volume and USB
The left side of the T-Mobile MyTouch Q holds two volume keys and a Micro-USB port.
Get a grip
The back panel of the T-Mobile MyTouch Q sports a soft-touch coating for better gripping. Here you can also see a close-up of the phone's 5-megapixel camera and LED flash.
Phones and power
The T-Mobile MyTouch Q's top edge houses its power key and 3.5mm headphone jack.
Voice intelligence
T-Mobile touts the MyTouch Q's Genius voice recognition feature. It's powered by Nuance software and attempts to rival Siri's voice command skills.
Solid camera settings
Though the T-Mobile MyTouch Q only costs $49.99, its 5-megapixel camera comes with numerous settings and special lighting filters.
