I have the t-mobile shadow. I have a small adaptor that enables you to plug in a charger and the usb headphone (comes with it). I also have another adaptor with the 3.5 aux jack for a standard headphone or to plug into a car audio jack (bought on ebay). No problems if you have the right adaptors.

[...] rest of the world as the HTC Magic! This isn’t exactly breaking news – we knew this when the Magic/G2/MyTouch passed through the FCC over a month ago. But a few things we DIDN’T know were price and release [...]

i just wanted to know if those pics are truthful, becuse it looks like the t mobile sign on the back has been tampered with and the g1 says google where the tmobile sign is (on the back). not to mention when i went to the fcc and read their forms, the fcc signed a contract saying that they wouldnt post any images of the prototype, so it makes me think that if that picture was tampered with then maybe the camera( which i hope not!!!) might not be truely 5 megapixels :(

@ GODMODE
I am using a touch victor (a variant of the diamond) & I only have a 2.8″ screen.. I Can honestly say that it works just fine for my extremely fat fingers.. I just dont use full qwerty on it instead I use the suretouch crap wich took like a whole 2 days to become accommodated to & now I am glad I traded in my HTC Kaiser with its full kbd for this as I can now type as fast with 1 hand as I used to with 2..

I For one am anxiously awaiting the release of the G2.. I have put off getting a g1 due to both aesthetics & size.. The only complaints I have with the g2 are as follows
1. Needs a standard headset jack end of story..
2. that eggshell white is ugly as sin IMO. Give it to me in black.
3. Screen res should be atleast 640×480 not this half VGA crap that there is now..

@Keinan

In a nutshell, it is a more functional phone than its competitors. In addition, any functionality that is missing can be written in by a developer. CompareEverywhere and ShopSavy apps are excellent examples of software the world hasn’t even seen on a phone, and make perfect sense.

@merlyn
Flash (camera) is highly unlikely as … well … I just don’t see it. And it would take up more battery than already needs to be taken. Digital cameras in general still have problems with focusing quickly and lenses. Adobe will come out with flash, and third parties already have pdf viewers. Most of he rest are solved programmatically. And the rest? We have been demanding that from cell phones from day one.

I would hope that any new HTC g smart phone would have at least a 5mp w/flash, a decent lens, fast focus, a long life battery, adobe flash player and reader, keyboard light where you control the time, ie NEVER TIME OUT if that is what the user wants, super shock resistance from bumping or falls, and the elements in general. Having the ability to upload photos would be nice as well. Also, having super reception is very important. No one wants a dropped call or not to be able to use a phone in a garden apt., basement, or elevator. Sexy is ok; but performance is what really counts.

I think the EU version looks better with the squarish buttons and all.

Can someone tell me what is so great about the Android in comparison to other competitors? I ask in great ignorance and until then, I’ll keep reading.

Does anybody know what the average time from FCC approval to actually selling a phone to customers usually is with T-Mobile? Should I be expecting to wait 1 month, 2 months, 6 months? I want an Android phone so bad, but just don’t like the looks of the G1. The Magic looks great.
