on my magic, somehow the side of the screen (when the phone is held vertically) is not as sensitive as the middle/top/bottom. So I don't like the landscape keypad, always missing the space bar! And there's more distance to travel for my thumbs because the keys are further apart.

confuse now >< ~ hero or Magic? ><

Hero.

this really depends on your budget and your liking...
the interior really got nothing much difference other than the camera and 3.5mm jack.

1 is price at 2200-2300 and another is price at 1499(if still available).
really on your choice.
have u see the actual phone yet?
i can say both have it's own characteristic and they are nice!

yep.. the keypad is the numeric keypad on screen where you get to use T9. i believe they work alot better than symbian as we are having capacitive touch screen instead of nokia's resistive touch screen.

i bet you already made up your mind on android.. both magic and hero have the very same spec.. except for the camera.

one thing on magic that turns me off is the audio jack.. its using HTC's crappy USB port.

Thanks for the reply... everybody

icycokes,
Yup, i really willing to try android ^^, and i had see both of it, both design also not bad.

now am using 5800, the numeric keypad serve me very well ^^
hope as u said, the numeric better that symbian 1.

one more question >.<

read from some thread, they said
Magic no have multi touch screen function??

is it ?

i own both magic and hero, the BIGGEST difference btw them is the LCD. Magic LCD is not as vibrant, large (although both states as 3.2in) and crip as Hero.

After flashing the latest official ROM from HTC that have the Sense UI on my magic. I get multi touch, but only in certain applications, like browser and image viewer. Google maps doesn't support multi touch.

Added on December 15, 2009, 8:57 amInteresting, I never realized this when comparing magic (with sense ui) and hero side by side at PC Fair. Vibrant, size and crisp, both looks the same to me.

The difference I noticed is that the LCD for Hero looks a bit deeper than the magic, meaning that the screen looks like its further away from the casing than Magic.

Oh yeah, besides the camera and 3.5mm jack, I think Hero also have an anti fingerprint coating (which might explain my observation above), but its only useful if you don't have a screen protector.

Hero screen is definitely bigger as i hv both screen protector, Hero one is much bigger. and oh yeah...much crips & vibrant than magic trust me..

U don call Hero a flagship phone if it doesnt hv any different from Magic right?

how long can your Hero battery last?

Mine when new can last more then 1 day but now a days doesn't last more than 10 hrs. everyday have to charge twice if i'm working the next day.

Yeah, you need a bigger screen protector for hero, not because it have a bigger LCD, the comparison is quite clear in this pic.

This one I can give you the benefit of doubt.

Pic cant tell u the exact size, do u hv both handset? yes? no? i hv both and i compare them so im telling u

I realised something i cannot receive mms if wifi is turn on.... have to restart phone with wifi off b4 i can receive and send mms. (my hero is unrooted) Anyone encounter this b4?

the one thing thats bugging me right now is that i cant view google docs using the browser. anyone here using google docs?

has anyone purchased Camera Zoom Fx?

u should wait for Motorola Milestone .. if u are "kaya" guy .. coz milestone got alot of potential .. in a future use .. coz .. now milestone/droid user growing so fast .. so its high potential it will be next device can be tweak/rooted .. flash variety of ROM like HTC Dream right now(coz its the biggest android comunity) now milestone/droid comunity is near to take over dream already .. u should wait .. and yet .. motorola droid got rooted already ..

anyways it your choice then .. but its the best choice u can make is Motorola Milestone .. SE Xperia10 , HTC Bravo .. is just too far

CAMERA ZOOM FX IS SUPPER NICE. I LOVE IT, wanna see pics? hehehhe

I just had to buy the htc hero cause my k850i got worse day by day. 1st the keypad then the lcd screen then it wont even turn on.

If given that my k850i works well I would have wait for milestone or even as far as bravo.

HTC HERO has no complains from me.

hey bro,no need to be so rude.
not only u having both phone.
peace ok? is juz a normal comments from the others.

i cant compare the screen whether the screen is more crisp or vibrant...
because from the first day it's already come with the screen protector.
i believe it's depends a lot on this little plastic.

you are able to compare without the protector?

hahah..okok..again..i say it loud n clear, it's more vibrant and crip ok, the sp will not make such a big different anyway unless u using lousy type. btw, i don use sp.

cross posting here, I have managed to flash my Magic using SG ROM by creating a gold card.

Good enough for me, and seems like a very safe method.
