Mobile Phone Sorcery with the HTC Magic
-
Sep 21, 2009 -
While the consumer market appears to have gone crazy at the release of Apple’s latest iPhone 3G S, the HTC Magic appears to provide the potential to become a rival in the market.
A lighter and sleeker design, the Magic is another impressive 3.2” touchscreen handset that has ironed out a number of flaws from previous versions of the Android software. The absence of the QWERTY keyboard from the earlier G1 model has surprised many consumers, but its exclusion has decreased the thickness of the handset to just 14mm.
The flexibility of the HTC Magic (

Drag and drop your icons across three ‘home’ screens that enable users to store more of their favourite applications and links for web browsing. The security of the handset has also been drastically improved with a locking system which requires a pattern to be drawn using a set of nine dots on the touch screen.
Despite the lack of a physical QWERTY keyboard, the virtual touchscreen version is among the best out there. The ergonomic design of the handset ensures the Magic fits perfectly into two hands both portrait and landscape. Web browsing has been made more user-friendly with the advent of the Webkit browser.
Perhaps the most frustrating feature of the HTC Magic (http://www.foneshop.com/

The multimedia features within the Magic are somewhat basic, and the lack of a standard 3.5mm headphone jack will frustrate a number of users.
For a versatile and flexible range of applications, the HTC Magic (http://www.foneshop.com/
