In this HTC Magic Video Review we take a look at the physical aspects of the HTC Magic Mobile Phone

Of the bat I have to admit I’m pretty fond of the Magic’s design. It’s smooth curvy shape and glossy finish is a tremendous improvement over the militaristic design utilised for the Dream. The first noticeable difference between the two handsets is HTC’s decision to drop the QWERTY keyboard a much welcomed decision in my opinion, not only has this resulted in the phone offering a much slimmer profile but the overall weight of the phone has dropped by 40 odd grams. The bulky QWERTY slide-out keyboard has now been replaced by an initiative on-screen cousin thanks to Cupcake. 

The Dream was synonymous for its distinctive chin design and HTC has decided to retain this design element for the Magic. The chin is a small, curved lip around the base of the handset designed to not only give the phone a distinctive look but it actual helps the phone sit more naturally and comfortable in the palm of your hand. The phones shape allows for really easy single hand operations to be performed without any hassle this is aided by the clickable trackball tucked away just below the display. The Magic is amazingly more single hand friendly then the Apple iPhone could ever be.
