HTC Magic
HTC is becoming synonymous with Android. HTC is the world’s first Android phone released in 2008 and through HTC Dream. Now the Magic, HTC became the first release of Android phone in Indonesia.
From the HTC Dream, Magic inherited form of the panel is bent under the touch screen. Only, this curve is smoother. Similarly, the use of a resistive touch screen and trackball for navigation purposes. But the biggest difference is the Magic did not have a QWERTY keyboard so that the whole process input using the touch screen measuring 3.1 inches.
Overall, his appearance looks simple. There’s only port like a mini-USB-bottom and side volume keys on the left body. It should be noted, a mini USB port similar to that also functions as an audio plugs, so you can not use the 3.5 mm audio devices.
Like the iPhone, Magic uses resistive touch screen. As a result, the process of typing a type using the finger without the need for the stylus. But the screen does not support multitouch, so you can not zoom-in by pinching movements like the iPhone.
Like the gadget without a keyboard, writing SMS on the HTC Magic do need exercise. Fortunately, HTC provides a special feature of the vibration when we pressed a letter. At least, this makes us feel a little physical effect when typing SMS. But again, it takes time for us to get used to it.
Magic interface itself is simple and easy to use. As the main screen, available Home Screen with shortcuts to key applications such as browsers and Contacts. When the screen “swiped” to the left or right, a new screen will appear. By default, a blank screen while the left and right home screen includes a Google Search bar. As for seeing the entire application, you just push the arrow in the bottom.
Shortcut and widgets can be added or removed. To add, just push the menu button, push Add, and then push Shortcuts, Widgets or Folders. A more practical way is to open the main menu, push-hold icon to the main menu to close itself, and then remove the icon is on home screen. To remove from the home screen, push-hold for a moment appeared the picture icon to the trash can at the bottom of the screen, then drag the icon into the trash. (more…)
