Samsung Galaxy Spica comes to Rogers
Granted, they got off to a slow start -- but every since the Dream and Magic originally launched, Rogers has done a pretty commendable job of leading the Android charge north of the border. Latest in the line is Samsung's venerable i5700 Galaxy Spica , a phone that won't win any awards for running up-to-date firmware (it still rocks Cupcake ) nor any medals for being high-end (the camera's just 3.2 megapixels with no flash), but at the very least, it makes an interesting, cheap Magic alternative with a high likelihood of an Android 2.x upgrade down the road.

Customer greeted with malware on Vodafone-issued HTC Magic (good thing it’s discontinued)
Crapware's bad enough, but having your life torn asunder simply by plugging in that shiny new (insert USB-connected device here) is an exciting new trend -- viruses find their way into the darnedest places, don't they?

HTC Magic’s user agent profile says it has a QWERTY keyboard, possible myTouch Slide for T-Mobile?
We'd just heard the other day some hot rumors that HTC's aging Magic would see a new version on T-Mobile this Spring with a physical keyboard added into the mix , and now we've got some corroborating evidence: an official user agent profile for the Sapphire (HTC's original codename for the phone) that proudly boasts of its QWERTY capability. You might think that this doesn't mean much since even Android phones without physical keyboard still have access to QWERTY through software, but actually, the "prf:Keyboard" line in these bundles of XML typically reads "No" if there isn't an actual keyboard in tow

HTC G1 Vs The HTC Magic – Battle Of The Google Mobile Phones
Over the past months Google have teamed up with HTC too develop two mobile phone based upon the Android operating system. The first phone was called the G1 and was released exclusively on the T-Mobile network. While the second phone called the HTC Magic, but often referred to as the G2 has just been released exclusively to the Vodafone network. Here we take a look at the two Google developed mobile phone in the wake of the HTC Magic’s release. The HTC G1 (or Google G1 Phone) brings you everything you love about the Internet in a mobile phone. With a 3. 2 inch touch screen and trackball, it’s made for browsing the web. Gmail, YouTube, Google Talk, Google Calendar and much more are just a touch away. With GPS you can use Google Maps to shows detailed street, traffic and satellite views. It has a slide out QWERTY keyboard. One problem with this is that the build quality does not seem the greatest and you can actually annoyingly hear the sliding movement. The Google G1 comes with a 3. 2 megapixel camera with autofocus and video record. While this is not the greatest, the whole point of the Google mobile phone was that it was designed with the internet in mind and not photography. The Google G1 is the first phone to run on the Android platform, which is an open source operating system. This means there are plenty of third party applications to download and install on the phone. Other features include HSDPA, Wi-Fi and GPS. Exclusive to Vodafone, the HTC Magic is the second mobile to run on the Android OS. The first was the T-Mobile G1. One of the most notable differences between the Magic and the G1 is the lack of a QWERTY keyboard. This makes the Magic slimmer, lighter and more pocket-friendly. The 3. 2 inch touch screen interface is also an improvement over the G1, with plenty of little tweaks in the latest Cupcake incarnation of the Android OS. The Magic has an accelerometer for autorotation and the screen has the option of handwriting recognition or the onscreen QWERTY keyboard. As we get into what the HTC Magic can do, it becomes very impressive. The Android OS has Gmail, Google maps including Street View and YouTube all just a touch away. The HTC Magic is a practical business phone. It’s equipped with all the standard document viewers and with Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and HSPDA (with download speeds of up to 7. 2 Mbps) this is a very useful device to have outside the office. The HTC Magic is a step up from the G1 and the looks of the new HTC Magic does look much better than the G1, which were fairly uninspiring. A few people that purchased the G1 might be a little annoyed that the HTC magic was released not long after the G1 and they may feel that the G1 was used as something of a test run/prototype. But the G1 is still a very good phone and the developments in the G2 are not that significant, you may also find that you will be able to get better deals on the G1, now that the HTC Magic has been released.
