HTC Magic review

Rating: 8

The second Google Android handset is finally among us after what seems like an extended wait, and was it worth it? Yes indeed – the HTC Magic is better in just about every way to its predecessor, the G1, unless you really need a slide-out Qwerty keyboard or you hate Vodafone.

HTC Magic review

Rating: 8

Having already brought out the world`s first Android-powered phone with the T-Mobile G1, the Taiwanese company got its act together faster than the likes of Samsung, Motorola and LG to bring out another 3.2-inch touchscreen handset. In short, this is a very good upgrade from HTC, which has enjoyed a meteoric rise in the last 18 months, and all we can do now is salivate at the prospect of a year chock-full with new Android handsets. However, they`ll all have to go the extra mile to beat this new kid on the block.

HTC Magic Review

Rating: 8.5

The HTC Magic is not quite the iPhone killer that some people expected it to be. As both cost roughly the same price on contract, we`d still recommend the iPhone over the Magic, mainly because the Magic lacks multitouch. But we can pretty safely say that the Magic is the second-best smart phone we`ve ever used, so, if you really can`t stand the iPhone, this is the handset to get, as it`s easy to use, fast and packed full of features.

HTC Magic Review

Rating: 10

As hard as we tried to love T-Mobile’s G1, it just has too many niggles for us to hang out with it on a daily basis. The camera can’t record video, there’s no stereo Bluetooth and, most gratingly, its design is more boring than a year in solitary with John Major. HTC has clearly been listening to our grumbles, because the Magic is a real improvement. While the ditching of the G1’s QWERTY keyboard might split opinion, the payoff is sleek, curvaceous design, a much better feature list and improved navigation.

INDUSTRY REVIEW

HTC Magic Review

Rating: 7.5

In a nutshell, the HTC Magic offers a slimmer and smaller form factor than the G1 but lacks a QWERTY keyboard. Software wise, they are almost identical (once the G1 is updated to Android 1.5) and there isn’t anything too cool about the Magic. It is a nice phone - it feels nice in the hand, the on-screen keyboard is well-implemented - but we are disappointed that it is lacking the Sense UI that would really give it the “WOW” factor. We can only hope it will be available as a software update.
