There is a lot to like about this phone, based on the information in this article, and HTC's web site. Sadly, both both lack details of bands that are useable, size microSD cards they support and probably other things if I were to be so nitpicky to look for them.
From what I've read, I'm sure I'd be a lot happier with this phone than my old Nokia 6610i (had to look inside to check that model number), and it's about time to upgrade an HP IPAQ 2750 PDA. However, HTC or PCA needs to provide more details in the specs before I could buy one (rural life requires CAREFUL research & good logistics planning).
Now for the but: when I looked at the HTC web site I found the Touch-HD and the T-Mobile G1 and I love the G1 (even given much less info on its abilities).
Of course, there is my big question that only experience will truly answer: am I better off with a single device like the Touch Pro that is phone and PDA, or am I better off with a great phone and a separate PDA? Of course, as I mentioned, I will only know for sure after a try one for at least 3 months, but until then I continue my research and I would love to hear from others who have a unified PDA Phone of their experience. So please put your comments in here, or by direct email (s4024647@student.uq.edu.au)
P.S. I am clear on one thing, I prefer a slider like this than a block like the E71 or Bold. My present phone sends to many accidental texts to have one without a coverable keyboard.

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
