HTC Magic Overview
The HTC Magic has been around for a little while now; although not the most up to date as technology and styles change so fast these days, it is still an elegant and easy to use touch-screen phone. Contract and sim free mobile phone deals are likely to mean considerable discounts over when it arrived on the scene last year.
The Magic is a great phone to use and with lots of home page and set up variations, personalising it will give hours of entertainment. Its navigation ball means you can quickly and surely find your way around the screen and the one touch menu tab allows you to straightforwardly monitor all your apps.
It comes with a versatile audio player and 3.2mp camera but it does not have a flash or the much valued 3.5 mm headphone point. It has good connectivity and its 512MB internal memory can be extended with a microSD card. When comparing it with other mobile phones the nearest is probably the T-Mobile G1 – their features pretty much match up but the Magic is lighter and has a longer battery life and more memory space.
If you put aside its shortcomings and realise this is not an iPhone then the HTC Magic is a decent looking mobile to have. Many of the problems that it has have been resolved in the later models but for price and usability it will not let you down for either style or phone quality.
