HTC Magic+

This phone takes the cake by far, I can no longer use my Storm without getting frustrated after using the Magic... I have used a lot of blackberries and WinMo phones and well this phone is BY FAR the best... yea there is a lot of cr*p on it when you get it but if you customize it and learn all there is to learn about doing so it can work as well as if not better then all winmo phones with custom roms, its faster its meaner and its better then anything out there, this thing ABLITERATES the Iphone in my opinion, the upgrade in memory and the fast processor make it super responsive and web browsing is almost INSTANT. Would recommend this phone to ANYONE.

I have to first start off by saying that HTC has really stepped their game up. Well then again, dropping WM platform for a change has really given HTC a push forward. The phone itself is rather good, feels great in your hand and easy portability.

What most people are 'drooling' over is its operating system. GoogleOS is in the early stages in capturing a huge segment of the smartphone market.

Advantages:

OPEN SOURCE!
FAST 7.2 HSPA 3.5G Data Transfer (Rogers Version)
Faster Processor (Rogers Version)
Exchange Support (Rogers Version)
Marketplace
Google Integration/Support
Folders (learn2play Apple)


Disadvantages

Bloatware (Rogers Apps) and can be removed
Touchscreen, not as responsive as the iPhone
Speaker is rather weak
Headphone jack is 8 pin mini USB
No flash
Wish Rogers brought the white version as well (sigh)

But overall a pretty great product. And for a introductory price of $149.99 I highly recommend it. And yes I prefer it over the Dream
