HTC Magic. Three is not the magic number
We like phones with names. We don’t like phones with numbers. Would you rather tell someone, for example, that you’ve just become the proud owner of the i7500, or the Magic. No contest, right? Well, if only things were that simple. Because, although the HTC Magic is actually out now, ready and waiting for you to get your grimy hands over its glossy little body, we think you might just be better putting those hands back into trouser-pocket-fiddling mode and sit it out the month or so it’ll take for the i7500 to be released. And why is that? Well, three reasons.
1. The i7500 comes with 8GB of internal memory, while the Magic comes with… wait for it… 512MB. Yep, a stone age, media-hating, you-mocking 512MB. But but but microSD microSD we hear you chantering. Balls to those annoying little thing we chant back.
2. The i7500 comes with a 3.5mm socket for your headphones. But but… erm. Exactly, there’s not even an argument here.
3. The i7500 comes with the fantastic OLED screen that Samsung have been pushing big time recently. And it rocks. And the HTC Magic comes with, well, a nice enough screen, just not as good a screen.
And isn’t that enough? No? Well, the i7500 is also thinner, has a better battery, a better camera and is just plain sexier. Happy now? Oh, look what you’ve done, you’ve made us make HTC cry. Oh well, so it goes.
