I wish these were around back when I got my MyTouch a few months back.

After seeing the Clapton commercials for the Fender MyTouch Android phone, I finally got to play with one “in-person” during a recent visit to my local T-Mobile store.

I have to say that even despite the faux vernier (yes, that’s “fake wood”), it’s one good looking phone.

And at least, I guess, the “plastic wood” isn’t much of a fire hazard, as compared to carrying a wooden phone in your pocket.

Even the matching “wooden” ear-buds that come with it look incredible.

And it’s probably good they’re “fake wood.”

Splinters in the ears would be a real bummer.

Overall, it’s the coolest looking phone I’ve ever seen (kudos, T-Mobile).

I can’t wait to see how Apple responds (a Les Paul iPhone would be cool?).

I just wish T-Mobile hadn’t made Clapton goof with that cheesy “guitar app” in the commercial. That really seems to cheapen the offering, but alas.

Nevertheless, it’s great to see my favorite phone being promoted by two of my favorite musicians.

I mean, come-one… How can you top a “Fender” phone being plugged by Eric Clapton and Buddy Guy?
