HTC Magic will be available at M1 Shop Paragon tomorrow. Finally, the wait will be over in about 24 hours. Go grab one of the “Magic Card at the Magic Box and you might get a $0 HTC Magic deap or up to $200 off the phone purchase or more” – this phrase stood out of the full-page ad in today’s Straits Time.
I believe HTC Magic is the first Android phone offered by M1. However, I will wait for a little while to see how’s the response to the new phone. I am still keen to look at the Samsung i7500 before making the decision on my next smartphone. I think the Samsung Android phone has better specs than the HTC Magic e.g. 8GB internal memory, 3.5mm earphone jack and multitudes of video formats: MPEG4, H.263, H.264 and WMV.
