any *idea* of a T-Mobile US release date? I HATE AT&T and this phone would get me back to T-Mo is a heartbeat!

@ Rob… no prob. realised ur post after posting mine. =)

Im in Asia, and the HTC Magic here is brought in by a crappy provider and the price is crazy =_=. I’d have to cross border to get mine.

I jus love the Sense UI.

@cam.shaft… thanks, I realized my error the moment I posted, only saw half the specs. I need some more sleep today. I’m excited for this phone, my contract is up in early sept. So as much as I love sprint (I know, odd…). I’ll be jumping to whoever brings this phone stateside.

The chin, the chin, why o why the chin. It’s a beast. However, the UI looks totally amazing. If they can put that on the i7500 I would willing dive headlong into Android and wallow in techno smugness.

*Not trying to be a hater* This U/I looks amazing. But does anyone else find it a bit odd that the specs that we have seen so far only have this supporting EDGE/GPRS here in the states? With as much ‘awesome’ as this phone seems to have, It seems that it would at least be 3G? Or am I just missing something here?

It is 3G Rob. Check out the specification at http://www.htc.com/www/product/hero/specification.html

HSDPA downlink @ 7.2mbps and HSUPA upload @ 2.0mbps

I think the only grudge for me is…no 3G camera =/

Nevermind… just saw the full range for the specs… Now, I will be jumping to any carrier that has this phone stateside!

@ cam.shaft

That’s what I wanna know also. Will the Magic be able to get the same interface?

looking at the specification of both magic and the hero,they are definately identical in terms of ROM/RAM and Processor. Rili hope the sense would be as fluent and speedy as in their promo video and most importantly…available for the Magic.

Anyone can confirm on this pls?
