  • seflan6

    you are the worst presenter alive ..

  • MrPlaystationboy

    looks like the hero

  • ispaniola

    Jep! (seen in my vid on my profile)

    I would suggest though, that you use a MicroSD card CLASS 6
    Since you might otherwise experience some lag.

  • easytolearnmagicstuf

    is it possible to install HTC Sense on the Magic?

  • Adrenalinejunkie1096

    is the Imagio an android phone?

  • ispaniola

    Jep free firmware updates

    But if you want to try them before the official release or if you want to try different ROM’s, you can flash them (only if you know what you’re doing!! you can brick your phone..)

    I have the Magic, since it’s pretty similar to the Hero in hardware (but Hero got 5MP cam and 3.5mm input), and I flashed it with a Hero ROM and it works even better than the videos I see with the HTC Hero out of the box! :D

    There is a branded and non branded (has more memory) version

  • Andrewterrorist

    Firmware 1.5, do these Android phones get free firmware updates? after all, Android is open source so I would expect to get free updates for the device and making it better. Also, do you need to get a special plan for Android phones like the iPhone and the Blackberry? or are they basic phones?

  • beyourselfdummy

    Thanks!!! :)

  • ispaniola

    You could buy the G1 version(it has a physical keyboard)..though I find it to be amongst the ugliest phones I’ve ever seen! :P

    Or buy a Nokia N97

    I’ve got the Magic and Im very pleased with it
    In landscape, after a while you get used to the software keyboard (you can try different ones from the Android Market) and in portret mode you can also choose for old fashion T9 keyboard

    HTC Touch pro2 is also a nice phone to consider

    That’s no problem

    You can watch them in 2 qualities, but I’d choose the best one. It works fine streaming with both wifi and 3G connection

    You can also download any video by pasting the URL into the website KEEPVID . c o m (use the mp4 file, not the FLV)

    When I have time I may be doing some videos on using the Magic Tips and Tricks etc.

    Because, you probably want to download a couple apps that make your Android phone work better (ie the standard camera app is too basic)

  • NorthPlum

    Hello!!!

    Can you play YouTube videos well using the magic?

    Thank you sir!

  • unknowncritic1

    is this a good phone?

  • beyourselfdummy

    So this phone doesn’t flash when you take a picture? It does seem a little hard to type on though. It’s very tight. I want this phone, but it would have been nice to have a keyboard as a second option.

  • RoyWennekes

    black looks nicer :)

  • wackytwist

    so whats the big deal with this android phone? that can beat iphones??
