hmmm, no WiFi, though it does have 3G. I’ve seen that a few times – either WifI, or 3G.

At least with 3G you’ll have access everywhere (in theory). I’d look for something compatible with Optus/Telstra 3G. And I’d avoid Three till they get network fixed : )

Just curious, what's wrong with Three's network?

In my experience, the 3G coverage is limited, and you run into excess charges in these situations with Three. That said, I hear they're upgrading their network

Don't 3 connections roam to telstra when there aren't any 3 towers available?

Do they roam to 3g speeds, or slower?

Yup, they roam to non-3G, and you've got to pay extra for the privilege (of slower speeds).

The HTC Magic, available through Vodafone and Three in Australia, may be the second Android phone but it's the first worth considering.

Sumptuous design, a fantastic screen and a high-quality feel. Not as easy to use as an iPhone, but far more powerful
