HTC Magic Update - Phone To Be Launched May 5th, 2009

htcFor all of you out there that have been eagerly awaiting the upcoming launch of the second phone to use the Google Android operating system, dubbed the “HTC Magic”, your wait is almost up! Within just a few short weeks, May 5th to be exact, the HTC Magic will make its appearence in stores across Europe. No release date has been given yet for the US, although industry experts seem to think that the Europe launch will be a test market for US demand.

“The carrier said the phone will be free when customers sign up for a two-year contract with fees of about $51 per month. The plan includes unlimited web use, 700 minutes of calls, 250 text messages and unlimited calls to landlines and other Vodafone customers.”

So how many of you are going to purchase one of theses super Android smartphones? The price is nice (free), for those that are willing to enter the two year contract (compared to the price that the G1 cost in the US even with a two year contract). I expect that these will be hot little numbers, and I can’t imagine that they won’t be far behind in releasing them for the US Market. I mean, we can’t have our European friends having cool new phones that we can’t get!

HTC Magic: a Snapshot of the Android Phone

There are a lot of things one can say about the HTC Magic but since most of the people have the attention span of 5 year olds, here’s a snapshot look at the mobile phone.

The Look from the Outside

The HTC Magic has dropped the G1’s QWERTY keyboard and instead, has an onscreen keyboard much like the Iphone. This move has given it a very smooth finish and has certainly added to its aesthetic appeal. It is definitely thin and is very lightweight. Its outer shell, although plastic, is very sturdy and fits comfortably at the palm of your hand. It also has a very beautiful 320×480 touchscreen that is very responsive and a pleasure to use. It also has a trackball at the bottom of the front to give you a different way of getting from one point to the next. It also switches from portrait to landscape quickly.

Basically, its look is very graceful and is certainly something that should attract a lot of people. The very sleek and curvaceous design is certainly an improvement from its ancestors.

The Look from the Inside

The HTC Magic is working on the Android operating system and allows people to access the multitude of Google services like Google Maps, Google Search, and even Youtube. The interface is a joy to look at and is quite easy to use. It also has access to the Android Market and thus, to hundreds and hundreds of mostly free applications. Plus, the advanced version of the Android Os, which is endearingly called “cupcake,” has a lot of feature improvements that gets it closer to Apple’s OS intuitiveness.

It also has a 3.2 megapixel camera that has impressive capabilities in image and video capture. Plus, thanks to its access to Google Services, one can even upload videos directly to Youtube. It is also equipped a WebKit browser engine and a JavaScript engine that gives a respectable browsing experience. It also has other features like Bluetooth and Wi-Fi Connectivity.

The problem is that it lacks a 3.5 mm headphone jack, is short on memory and its battery life can use a bit of tweaking. Certainly, there are some things that need improvement but as it stands, it is still an above par mobile phone.

The Verdict

It is certainly a good smartphone, not a great one. Its pros greatly outnumber it cons but unfortunately, these cons are major considerations by buyers when purchasing smartphones. It may not be the best smartphone in the market today but the HTC Magic definitely has a lot to give to those willing to endure its faults.

HulloMail on Voda HTC Magic

It’s a very nice phone! Great design, thin and light - it feels and looks high-end. Although I’m a diehard iPhone user, I’m also a diehard Android fan. The combination of the HTC Magic and Android is a tempting package that could lure me away from my iPhone. It would probably succeed if the email client was on a par with the iPhone’s. Video shows the HulloMail Android app working in its full glory. With HulloMail Sync enabled all your GMail contacts and messages are synchronised with GMail….

Palm Pre - can it beat the iPhone 3GS and HTC Magic?

Now that the Palm Pre has been unleashed on the world, let’s take a look at it, and see how it plans to overthrow its rivals.

Looks and Design

First up, let’s take a look at the Palm Pre’s hardware, as compared to what are probably its two closest rivals: the HTC Magic and the iPhone 3GS. Of those three phones, the HTC Magic is probably the one that scores the lowest in terms of looks, as it looks the most ‘boring’ of the three. The Palm Pre and iPhone 3GS, on the other hand, both have sleek looks, with glossy, curvy panels. It’s a very close-run thing between the iPhone 3GS and the Palm Pre, and it simply isn’t possible to decide which is the best, looks-wise. It’ll simply come down to which feels right when you hold it.

Hardware Features

With hardware features, once again, all three phones are pretty evenly matched, with 3 megapixel cameras on all of them. One key advantage the Palm Pre has over the others, however, is that both the iPhone 3GS and HTC Magic lack hardware keyboards, while the Palm Pre has a full QWERTY keyboard. For messaging and emails, that’s a big plus. And whilst the Palm Pre has a smaller screen than both the iPhone 3GS and HTC Magic, its touch-sensitive screen actually extends, unbelievably, beyond the screen itself. It could be argued that they could have given the Palm Pre a bigger screen, but the sheer fact the screen extends, in effect, beyond the screen is a sure to turn heads, and it gives the Pre the edge on hardware features, despite the iPhone 3GS having much more internal memory (coming in at either 16 or 32Gb, compared to the Palm Pre’s 8Gb).

Software and Interface

Finally, we come to interfaces. The iPhone 3GS has the latest iPhone 3.0 software, which brings with it such cool features as voice control throughout the device, and the ability to edit videos captured with the camera. The HTC Magic, meanwhile, uses widgets, allowing you to customise the front end of your phone in any way you want. Also included in the HTC Magic is tight integration with Google apps, such as Gmail and Gtalk. However, in terms of interfaces, the Palm Pre is on a whole other level; its WebOS interface has to be seen to be believed, as it’s quite simply the slickest OS ever seen on a mobile phone. EVERYTHING is achieved through a variety of intuitive gesture and swipe controls, and as for integration and synergy between apps, the Palm Pre leaves even the HTC Magic in the dust. Of these three phones, it’s a close thing, but the Palm Pre is good enough to beat both of its rivals.

My Touch 3G Vs T Mobile G1

My touch 3G was released as HTC Magic which has been release in Europe for about a year. Some difference is the newest T mobile phone use T mobile 3G’s network with 1700/2100 MHz frequency but HTC Magic use 3G network with 900/2100 MHz frequency.

If you compare T mobile my touch 3 G with T mobile G1 you will see the main difference is keyboard because My touch does not have a physical keyboard (T mobile G1 have a physical keyboard with Slide-out 5 row QWERTY keyboard)and that is the biggest disappointment.

Nonetheless, T mobile my touch 3 G has more internal Rom memory (512MB),more Ram memory(288MB) which make an applications run faster,better battery life (Rechargeable Lithium-ion battery,Capacity: 1340 mAh) which make T mobile my touch 3 G can standby up to 660 hours for WCDMA and up to 420 hours for GSM,more micro SD memory card support (4GB),have Microsoft Exchange Support which good for business user,have Sherpa application which help user to discovery local location and find favorites place and absolutely beautiful more than T mobile G1.

Another important is that T mobile my touch comes with the Cupcake Android 1.5 firmware with user interface refinements,performance improvements,new applications,new features, including the ability to type messages in portrait or landscape view, video recording, and improved browser

So,if you don’t mind about software keyboard and think T mobile G1 is not good enough for you especially its ugly model.I think T mobile my touch 3G with 199$ and two-year contract is a good choice for everyone.

HTC MAGIC SMARTPHONE

Google Android system is a new catch phrase now. Smart phone HTC G1, which first adopted Android system, was not very warmly responded in domestic market but strongly welcomed in Europe and America. In the MWC meeting in February, 2009, HTC together with Vodafone launched HTC Magic, the second generation of Google phones.

 

With its body of 113×55×13.65mm, Magic weighs 118.5g. As compared with the previous generation G1, HTC Magic looks much more beautiful without the keyboard, though there’s no big upgrade for hardware equipments. In the  aspect of hardware equipments, HTC Magic adoptes MSM7201A 528MHz as its CPU and 512MB ROM/192MB RAM as its memory, with a 3.2M pixel automatic focus camera on the back. Apparently, HTC Magic’s memory equipment is better than G1’s 256MB ROM/192MB RAM. Based on simple designed style on its four body sides, HTC Magic has only volume key on the left side and no keys on the right. There’s charging indicator light near telephone receiver on its body top and USB charging interface which can be also used to connect to PC, as well as talking holes on its body bottom.

 

With Android system, HTC Magic performs well in the aspect of response speed. Though we were greatly disappointed at the linux operating system which has been employed by MOTO A and E series phones, Android operating system basing linux is much more satisfying. What’s more, its sensitive touch screen also makes HTC Magic more attractive. Magic even supports gravity sensor function. An arch-rival for iPhone, don’t you think? With Android system, HTC Magic also performs excellently in SMS and phone book. Although Magic has no tangible keyboard like G1, its system has built-in virtual keyboard which will operate automatically when words are input. Its key clicking accuracy is high with only 10% error rate while you input 20 letters.

 

HTC Magic supports online video playing and has built-in YouTube client. Magic video playing interface also supports gravity sensor function. With its bending body bottom, it is comfortable to hold Magic in sideway.

 

However, with its 3.2M pixe camera on the back body without LED camera flash and self-portrait mirror, HTC Magic may disappoint you by taking photos in shadowy place, especially at night. Above the camera, there are separate speakers.

 

As the second generation of Google phones, HTC Magic’s improvement lies in its shape — it is much more beautiful and fashionable to have no tangible keyboard than that of G1. As for the functional equipments, Magic and G1 are similar — GPS navigation, wireliess WiFi, Bluetooth, USB2.0, 3.2M pixel automatic focus camera, etc.
