T-Mobile begins to send out minor OTA update for the myTouch 3G Slide

As much as newly minted T-Mobile myTouch 3G Slide owners are waiting for the day for a Froyo update to arrive, they're receiving a minor one that addresses some of the issues seen with the handset. T-Mobile has begun rolling out an over-the-air update to owners and should reach everyone hopefully by August 19th. When you receive the notification on your handset, you can expect to see a better battery life, changes to the Genius Button, the addition of a voice command for GPS functionality, changes to the Faves Gallery, the ability to send MMS messages when connected through Wi-Fi, and other enhancements. Granted it's not Froyo, handset owners will probably be glad to see the enhancements which should make the handset just a tiny bit better – but we'd imagine Froyo is still high on their list.
