It does work, but you need to mess about with asterisk configs to make
up for the lack of features with it at present.

Also I'd go with the HTC dream if you do a lot of typing for whatever
reason, the full sized keyboard is useful and faster than the touch
screen, and with Android 1.5 the dream can do onscreen touch keyboard in
any case.

The battery life on the HTC Dream (and probably the magic too) really
sucks, I'd suggest getting a 2600mAh battery + replacement battery cover
from Seido.

It makes the phone a little more chunky, but I tend to get 8hrs of
useful life out of it, compared to the 2-4 from the regular battery,
depends if you plan to use it a lot with the screen on for navigation or
what not, or plan to use it more like a normal phone.

The downside of all HTC phones is they use a special mini-USB socket to
do audio out as well, rather than a separate 3.5mm connector. You can
buy adapters to get a 3.5mm connector but I'm pointing this out now so
you aren't surprised later.

Apart from that, figure out if the Rogers devices can be "rooted"
because the Android devices are so much more useful if you have full
access to do what you like to them.
