AppleInsider —
... the Wall Street Journal that he believes the Magic will be the first phone to challenge the iPhone in style. "The first G1 wasn't principally bad, but it was more of a development platform for the operating system," said Christian Lindholm. "This one is more of a proper Android product."

... frankly, there's nothing on the market that'll compete with that beast at the moment! Technical specifications The HTC Magic's technical specifications are as follows: As you can see, it's not that different from the G1, but it is a whole lot smaller. The Android user interface is really nice, too, while HTC has managed to create a touchscreen that is really responsive. If it wasn't for the damn keyboard, this would be my next smartphone. Grr!

Been there, done that, got the bloody' t-shirt. Seriously, you know something stinks when you ...
