HTC Magic, the second Google phone is an enjoyable phone that delivers a great user experience.  Like other Android phones, the HTC Magic is slick and effective, delivering a wide variety of Android based applications and software.  The Magic is a unique entry into the market, and while it may have its shortcomings, the phone as a whole delivers on its promises, and is able to deliver most anything you can expect from a modern smart phone.

What stands out the most about the Magic is the screen.  It’s a large, bright, vibrant, colourful display that offers a sharp image, and relatively low battery life consumption.  Entering text is a breeze on the virtual keypad, though it is much easier in landscape mode.  The responsive nature of the phone, with the high degree of accuracy, has eliminated much of the frustration that plagued early touch screen phones.

While the Magic is a great mobile phone to use, the media functionality however leaves much to be desired.  With no 3.5mm headphone jack, this is clearly not for music lovers.  While this was never the main draw of the device, it’s frustrating that such a simple addition was never made.  The camera has no flash, and has an unacceptable shutter lag, for such a modern phone.

As a whole, it’s frustrating when modern smart phones simply do away with certain pieces of technology.  A camera flash is nothing new or “smart”, and there’s no reason why it should not be included in such new smart phone models.
