T-mobile is finally ready to launch the myTouch 3G Fender Limited Edition. The handset is scheduled to launch on January 20th for $179.99 with a new two year agreement. From what we can tell, hardware is pretty much the same as the original, but the fender Limited Edition does feature a 3.5mm headphone jack to make music that much more enjoyable, 288MB of RAM and will be sporting a Fender branded shell. To make sure your music experience is up to snuff with other smartphones on the market, the myTouch 3G Fender Limited edition has a new customized music player created by HTC, a 16GB microSD card for all your music, and preloaded music from Eric Clapton, Wyclef Jean, Avril Lavigne and Brad Paisley. T-Mobile is also throwing in a customized version of the DoubleTwist music syncing computer application so that you can easily sync up all your tunes and even transfer in your iTunes playlists.

The January 20th launch of the T-Mobile myTouch 3G Fender Limited Edition will be accompanied by a new commercial featuring Eric Clapton. It’s nothing revolutionary and does nothing to call out the differences between the original and the Fender Limited Edition, but at least it’s nice to see T-Mobile still backing the myTouch line.
