Expecting Froyo? Well hang on a minute there, partner, because that’s not Truly what you’re getting — but when it comes to phone firmware updates, we like ‘em early and often, so we’re not plan to complain about this one. T-Mobile’s myTouch 3G Slide will be getting an over-the-air boost starting today, promising a handful of improvements and bug fixes including improved battery life, the ability to send MMS messages while connected to WiFi, and a few changes to the so-called Genius Button and the Faves Gallery. Looks like all customers should have it by the 19th of the month, so hang tight if you don’t get it right away.

LG and T-Mobile had only been committing to a Summer release for their three-pack of new models, but at this time we’ve got a little more guidance on the most notable of the trio. The Sentio — a low-end full touchscreen dumbphone with 3G and social networking goodies on board — will be available on June 30 in all channels, so if you’re a “connected socializer” aged 16 to 29 who’s “in search of their first touchscreen phone,” you might have a look. As long as you’re cool with navy blue paired with silver accents, anyhow.

T-Mobile’s LG Sentio launching on June 30 originally appeared on Engadget Mobile on Tue, 08 Jun 2010 17:36:00 EST. Please see our terms for use of feeds.

We can imagine the conversation going something like this:

“Hello, FCC speaking. How can I help you?”
“Hey, Sony Ericsson in this place. So basically, we took this phone you guys already approved, and just… you know, slapped a keyboard on it. We cool?”
“Well, no, we aren’t ‘cool.’ Go ahead and submit another set of test results and we’ll get back to you.”
“But…”
“…no ‘buts.’ Just do it.” (click)
