If you were waiting for the right phone for your own use, the HTC Magic may have been the one. It is thin, light, powerful and has a nice screen to boot. Take a look at this HTC smartphone for the scoop.

Streamlined is a good word to describe the exterior of the HTC Magic. It is lacking in a manual keyboard, but makes up for it in the convenient size. The screen is a 3.2 inch display with a resolution of 320 by 480 pixels. It is just four and half inches tall and just barely over two inches wide. It is .58 inches thick, which is practically half an inch.

The interior workings of the HTC Magic are taken care of by the popular android operating system. This is a rapidly developing piece of software that offers lots of social networking skills. Do you want to connect to your friends or family on Facebook, Twitter, Google Talk and YouTube ? Not only can you do it on this phone, you can do it with ease. The HTC Magic with android allows you to “wipe” your smartphone from a distance if you lose it or it is stolen. You have lots of other apps to track and locate your contacts, Believe it or not you can also snap a photo of a barcode and have the internet tell you information and prices on the item associated with the barcode. How about the Urbanspoon application ( program ) ? If you can not decide on where to eat, Urbanspoon can help you decide with prices and locations and more. Thanks to the multi-touch ability of android you can use google maps with much more ease.

The processor comes in at a strong 528 megahertz on the HTC Magic. This will allow you to open more programs and not have a crash. Internal memory is on the 288 megabyte level. Not bad for a smartphone, but it could be better. Others are offering more in the same price categories. To make amends for the average memory level, there is a MicroSD card slot that will allow you to load files that are on the gigabyte level. This smartphone is manufactured in black or white plastic. You have your choice of those two colors. Quite a shame for a phone with so much ability. You do get WLAN ( Wi-Fi ) ability to take advantage of faster load times for web pages and hopefully skype will be available in the future to allow you to save money on calls using Wi-Fi.

One difference that you will need to remember when comparing android phones like this HTC Magic to the iPhone models is that applications are almos always free. You download neat software and do not pay anything. This phone takes a maximum of ten minutes to setup with your personal information and settings you like. After that is all usage and no adjusting. The HTC magic is a good all-around smartphone that connects you to the rest of the world with convenience that you can fit in your pocket without a problem.
