I am looking to buy one of these sim free handset only from the UK, anyone give me any ideas where?????
i got mine from ebay from Ecell & it was really reasonably priced. Mines the Black HTC Magic, some of its in chinese but works fantastically.
Only problem with Ecell is they make you wait 7 days for funds to clear before they ship due to fraud.
I'm with o2 & have unlimited wap (
Thanks CodeMonkey and carl C
I soooooooooo want one!!
Any of you guys using this on o2 or know anyone who is?? And also will the Android marketplace work with o2 Unlimited data??
Really need to know this before I get one, as I don't really want to change networks
Thanks for your replys Guy's!
Some of the Apps like Market Place & Google Mail are in Chinese. But they are still useable i've downloaded a fair few apps off market place.
The black Magic has 288mb ram instead of 192mb of the Voda Magic. Market Place works fine with O2 unlimited Wap.
I think its an absolutely fantastic phone & the chinese bits are a little annoying but they haven't stopped me using the phone. Absolutely love it, best phone i've ever had i'd say.
Yep mine's on O2 contract SIM (with unlimited data bolt on) and I use the marketplace etc without any issues. Updates also come through ok.
Hi CodeMonkey and thanks for your reply!
That's great news, and does the Push Email through the in built Google Mail work OK with the O2 Sim and the unlimited Data bolt on!!
Sorry to sound silly but these are all the answers I would like to know before I get one!
Yep the gmail push works fine (barring o2 network data issues of course)
I've got the HTC magic(unbranded/unlocked) But I don't have marketplace. How would I go about in getting this installed?
US, with HTC Magic(A6161) (unlocked/unbranded) I'm on AT&T network, I don't have marketplace anywhere on my phone.
not there at all, i got the phone frm Buy Unlocked GSM Cell Phones and Accessories at the Cheapest and the Biggest Online Store. Auroracell.com
