    I downloaded a short video clip from the internet. I assumed it would be stored in the "photos" file so I could easily delete it. But now I can not find it. I want to get it out of the phone.

    Help hardware limitations

    Just wondering how many times the HTC Magic will be able to be updated. I have read it should handle the 2.2 upgrade. But will it run smoothly? Surely there will be a limit. Perhaps not all the features in the 2.2 will run in a Magic. Does anyone know? Thanks

    using Nexus One with no 3G only EDGE

    I will be using my new Nexus with EDGE only as I will not have 3G where I am overseas. Is anyone else in the same boat? Just wonder if there are any issues. I assume it will work the same as 3G but slower, how much slower? Thanks
