Help Where to buy an HTC Magic?

[OwenC]

I'm looking to buy an HTC Magic and was wondering if anyone could recommend a good retailer to get it from? I'm based in the Isle of Man and none of our local telecoms providers have any Android phones. I'm looking for somewhere to buy the Magic without a contract, but looking through the usual sites I buy kit from, I'm not seeing anyone with them on sale.

Anyone recommend a good source?

I would just look for one on eBay. Keep in mind that you might have trouble setting it up with your operator.

What sort of trouble? I'm currently on a Windows Smartphone (HTC Artemis) with a separate data option on my standard contract. I'm assuming there shouldn't be much more I need to run an Android phone.

Am I being naive?

I'm just taking 3G frequecies into consideration and settings. I know that some of the modded firmwares have all of the 3G settings built-in. So if you buy one, try to get a European model. To be safe, do some more research.

I know all the UK phones work here, and looking on eBay UK, I can probably score one for around

If you're still looking for one, the best retailer to get it from is Newegg.
That's where I got mine from. I'm sure they ship internationaly.
