You can check out the phone within the Mong Kok MTR station as there is a demo stand there. Had a quick check of the phone at the demo stand area and is quite impressive. However, I still love my iPhone and will upgrade to the new 3G S when its available in HK in July.

I have the 3G version, and it doesn't make sense to have the upgrade to the new version. Not much improvement. I'll just get the new iphone OS 3.0, after the crack comes out. If you have the 1st generation, then it makes more sense to upgrade.

#4 Post at 22-6-2009 03:00  Profile P.M.  Font size: S M L Hey Bro. Had the 1st generation iPhone and quickly switched to the iPhone 3G when it was made available in Hong Kong. Didn't lose much value when I sold my 1st generation iPhone to a phone shop in Mong Kok. Just wanted the 3G S for its new hardware functionality - new camera with video recording capability - and improved performance. I've cracked my iPhone 3G this morning and works okay including the apps on cydia and other sources

#5 Post at 22-6-2009 03:12  Profile P.M.  Font size: S M L Reply #1 DArtagnan's post Some review links here. from youtube again from youtube from viddler I must say, it looks impressive. The phone looks pretty good. But what I am surprised is the touch-screen. From the videos, it looks fast and smooth. Pretty impressive. I haven't checked the technical specs yet, but it does seem like the Andriod OS is pretty fast. Most certainly, seems the HTC magic can stand on its own alongside the new iphone. And it most definitely will be cheaper. By the way, I'm a 3G iPhone user . Still love it, but I won't be tricked by Apple to shell out more dough for the new iPhone, no matter how tempted I am.

Hear Ye!  The Mayor has spoken!

#7 Post at 22-6-2009 19:13  Profile P.M.  Font size: S M L Actually, I'm too an iPhone 3G user. But had recently switched to the HTC Magic. I find that the iPhone's touch screen is more comfortable to use when you need to zoom into a specific area. But with the Android system, there are far more useful applications as well as games to download. When surfing the net, it hangs and slows down sooooo much. Since i've been using the 1st and 2nd gen iPhone, i would definitely go back to iPhone, so so much user friendly. (for me that is)

#8 Post at 22-6-2009 21:24  Profile P.M.  Font size: S M L From what I've seen, nothing really beats the user interface of the iPhones, not to mention the applications.  Everything's just so dummy-proof!  I just hate how everyone and their dogs have one. What about the Nokia 97?

#9 Post at 23-6-2009 04:00  Profile P.M.  Font size: S M L Reply #8 kcc's post Nokia N97? In my opinion, the 5-megapixe or 8 megapixel camera phones are useful only for taking pictures, especially sneak pictures . As far as features are concerned, their functionality loses out to phones such as HTC magic, and iPhone.  Their user interface is boring. Once you've tried a touch-screen phone, you won't go back tothe normal phone. And on the picture quality, you'll be better off with a digicam.  And, the value of such camera phones seem to drop very fast. Phones such as iPhone and HTC Magic probably have better resale value, so you can get some spare cash to cover when you switch to a new phone. [ Last edited by  ksoz at 24-6-2009 03:30 ]

#11 Post at 23-6-2009 17:25  Profile P.M.  Font size: S M L From experiences in switching phones. I would strongly advise you bros to stay with the iPhone if you are currently using it. As the market is now starting to flood us with all gadgets there is. Therefore, one can only experience its disadvantages and then switch back. Now, just trade it in..... for iPhone 3GS with 32GB. You'll never get disappointed

#13 Post at 23-6-2009 21:11  Profile P.M.  Font size: S M L Reply #12 NLion's post I have a iPhone 3G, plan to upgrade to 3GS when the official HK release is available, and a blackberry for work. Basically, I'm carrying two phones during the week. At the weekends, I use the iPhone as the weekend phone which can also pick up my work emails. The iPhone is an all rounder phone for entertainment and business. We had a look at the Blackberry Storm as a rival to the iPhone but it doesn't match up to the iPhone in terms of functionality. Doesn't even have wireless capabilities. For Nokia and HTC, I cannot comment as I have never used these brands before.

#15 Post at 24-6-2009 00:17  Profile P.M.  Font size: S M L Reply #14 NLion's post Just my preference, I only use the Blackberry for company emails and nothing else. My iPhone is used for a number of things, surfing this site, etc. With the new Blackberry Storm, my company was offered favourable terms by a local mobile phone provider but we turned it down as the phone was a little clunky and didn't match up to the iPhone. You can go to any of Three outlet to test the phones to see which suits you.

#16 Post at 24-6-2009 00:46  Profile P.M.  Font size: S M L Reply #12 NLion's post I had an e61 - loved it.   Great for e-mail, but a bit dated now, no touch screen.  Oustanding battery life.   Guess the more recent e-series are still a good alternative to Blackberry, but Blackberry seems to win in the corporate stakes since the e-mail is instant delivery. Hear Ye!  The Mayor has spoken!

#17 Post at 24-6-2009 03:36  Profile P.M.  Font size: S M L Reply #10 kcc's post Oops, yeah its 5 mega-pixel not 8. But my post #9 was more about camera phones in general. There was a rash of camera phones flooding the market at one time.  Before using iPhone 3G, I was using Nokia phones mostly.  But N97 took such a long time to officially come out. By then, I had bought the iPhone and am too used to it now with its smooth touch-screen and functionality with or without jailbreaking.

There are a few interesting phones coming out, so maybe i should just wait a bit and play around with the phones in the stores. Its interesting to see samsung coming out with integrated 12mp camera though!

#20 Post at 27-6-2009 22:34  Profile P.M.  Font size: S M L tried the HTC Magic today in a Smartone shop. It was not very convincing to me. Sluggish processing times / change of screens was slow and also the touch screen was not as sensetive as expected. Maybe that unit was already worn from all the people come and go and the shop and try...
