After reviewing the T-Mobile G1 yesterday, I thought it only right to give a full HTC Magic review as the two are very closely related.

The Magic isn’t all that different from the G1, so this review will feature an overview of the Magic’s main features and overall user experience, and then focus on a comparison of the HTC Magic with T-Mobile G1.

For more info on the overall Android experience that you get with the HTC Magic, check out my T-Mobile G1 review.

Read on for the HTC Magic review after the jump.

Day two at MWC 2009 has been a bit quieter. Perhaps the biggest news (and the least unexpected) has been the launch of the HTC Magic, aka the Android G2. As we reported yesterday, the HTC Magic will be available exclusively on Vodafone, and will probably not be going to the US anytime soon, leaving some to wonder if T-Mobile have their sights set on a G3?

The Magic, meanwhile, has been garnering warm praise from bloggers, with Gizmodo describing it as the closest competitor to the iPhone yet.

More details of the HTC Magic after the jump.

Google is rumoured to be announcing the new G2 Android phone tomorrow at MWC 2009 – except, it won’t be called the G2, it’ll be called the HTC Magic instead.

HTC, if you remember, are the company who make the T-Mobile G1, and the Magic was originally intended to be the T-Mobile G2. However, the Magic will be available on Vodafone, which might imply that T-Mobile has passed over the chance to get it exclusively for themselves perhaps waiting instead for a G3?

In any case, it would explain why the current G1 on T-Mobile has seen a recent price drop.
