    The Good: The T-Mobile MyTouch Q offers a satisfying physical keyboard and a fast 4G data connection for people on a budget.

    The Bad: With a sluggish single-core CPU, a pokey 5-megapixel camera, and a low-res display, the MyTouch Q won't impress either gadget hounds or shutterbugs looking to replace their point-and-shoot cameras. Also, the phone is loaded to the gills with bloatware and it suffers from a blah user interface.

    The Bottom Line: If you absolutely crave a physical keyboard and swift 4G data for less, you'll find plenty to like about T-Mobile's MyTouch Q. More selective smartphone shoppers, however, will want to look elsewhere.
