Hi I just got an HTC Magic (Vodafone UK model, but purchased handset-only at Phones4U in the UK). Here are a few observations that might be of interest if you are thinking of getting one:
- Smaller and thinner than I was expecting. Somehow, the pictures haven't done it justice - I was expecting something the size of the old HTC XDAs, but it's very nice and slim. The finish is very good as well - it's really quite an attractive phone - Trackball is nice and big. It also flashes when the phone rings(!). Wonder if that's under SDK API control? - The Google account sign-in/create is presented when you first boot the phone, but unlike the G1 it is optional - you can skip it and use the phone without signing in. If you try to use an application like Android Market, then you are prompted at that point to sign-in/create - It was not SIM-locked to Vodafone. I'm using it with an O2 SIM - Latitude is enabled - Application rotate on sensor is enabled by default Happily, all my apps (built for 1.1 SDK and tested on G1) installed and ran without any issues, so that's encouraging. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Discuss" group.
