The HTC Magic is only the second Android OS smartphone to hit market, joining the T-Mobile G1 as flagship Android models. In many respects the HTC Magic is a better looking device than the T-Mobile G1 with its cool white finish and rounded design but it offers many of the same features.
Check out the full tech spec and features of the HTC Magic for yourself.
The HTC Magic is an Android smartphone that comes with a 3.2-inch touchscreen display and features an innovative trackball that is great for navigating the menu display. It comes loaded with Android 1.5 OS, also called Cupcake – check out our guide to getting more from Cupcake – and allows you to download apps straight from the Android Market.
Design features
the HTC Magic is a great looking smartphone. You can use the trackball to zoom in/out of apps for easy navigation and internet browsing. Then there is the built-n GPS, 3.2-Megapixel camera, as well as Bluetooth and Wi-Fi connectivity. All this in a device that weighs a portable 116g.
Multiple email
The HTC Magic provides a variety of email options, including Google Talk and Instant Messaging. What’s more, with the multiple email option, you can split out your work and personal emails but still receive and send them through the same interface, which is great for staying in control of your mail.
Android Market
Android Market is a one-stop resource for getting hold of the latest Android apps and tools. With the HTC Magic, users can search and download unique applications such as MP3 applications, calendar, Skype, and mobile phone games to expand and personalise their phone to suit their lifestyle.

You know, I sort of like the phone even if I have not yet felt the advantage of its being an android. My little problem is that I could not synchronize my files in the handset to and from the laptop. The Exchange ActiveSynch is not yet activated. It is not only asking for my email address but also server address which I do not know, exchange server name, exchange domain name and an encrypted SSL connection. How can I have them. Can somebody help. Thanks. JGP
