Htc Magic Slide

Word around town is that T-Mobile is currently locally testing a new update for the HTC Magic

which will enable a couple of big deal software upgrades to the owners of the early Android handset. Despite the fact that even the Taiwanese release of the phone was only a mere year ago, support for the older Androids sometimes seem wavering. But this proves that just because theyve pushed out the old for the new doesnt mean that T-Mobile is ending its support.

The new software update includes Android 2.1, a huge step forward for the device, and Sense UI support (really?). These arent the only features the phone will be upgraded to promote in tandem with its up-and-coming QWERTY brethren, the HTC Magic Slide, as the phone will also include a software (read: non-physical) Genius Button which you can read all about over here. The specifics on how the genius button will be implemented are not available yet but something is telling me to be prepared for a widget

It's hard to believe that theHTC HD2

for T-Mobile is a Windows phone. First off, take a look at its prodigious touch-screen LCD, which suggests that the HD2 is geared to be a multimedia powerhouse in addition to a productivity machine. The phone comes preloaded with Megan Fox, er, Transformers 1 and 2, for Optimus Prime's sake, and a host of other preloaded applications of the multimedia persuasion, like Blockbuster and Barnes and Noble. On top of that, we've got Office Mobile 2010, MobiTV, TeleNav maps, and, oh hell, we don't want to give it all away in the introduction. Check out our hands-on video first.

The styling of the P3470 HTC

is pretty typical of an HTC device. There?s the 2.8? 240x320 touchscreen below which you can find a number of standard buttons. Two soft-keys sit on the left and right along with the send and end phone keys and Windows and OK buttons. Right in the centre of the keypad block is the ?d-pad? style control. This had a round disc on the outside that rotates and can be used to scroll though on-screen menus and ?jog? though emails. The d-pad can also be used as a regular up, down, left and right pushbutton as well as having an action button in the middle.

First impressions are that the device seems quite capable and despite the relatively slow CPU (just 201 mHz) it seems to run along quite smoothly, probably aided by the 128MB of RAM. The lack of 3G and WiFi is a bit of a disapointment which is only offset slightly by the integrated GPS. I feel that over ?300 may be a bit too high to really consider the HTC P3470 a 'budget' device.myreplicaphone-hope
