Many aspects of the HTC Magic (3G) are definitely ‘magical’. The Magic’s design, touch-screen and internet capabilities are all top-notch. However, this Android phone fails to find perfection, as it is let down by a lack of high quality multimedia functions.
In terms of the phone’s design, the HTC Dream and the HTC Magic are differentiated mainly in the area of physical construct. Unlike the Dream's bulky shape caused by its full-size QWERTY keyboard, the Magic has a 3.2-inch HVGA (480x320) touch-screen display with built-in software keyboard. This means the Magic is way slimmer, sleeker and more attractive to the eye. One option is a glossy black handset with small silver navigation keys beneath the screen, plus a 3-megapixel camera on the back.
