HTC Magic, the Official First Android Log Indonesia

HTC took Telkomsel as the exclusive provider for Indonesia. Interestingly, the HTC does not lock Magic for Telkomsel numbers. This is good news for who want to maintain another provider number already owned, although the bonus of Telkomsel can not be enjoyed. However, it was unfortunately too lho if you miss the prime bundles that eliminate PeDe simPATI 300MB per month for 6 months, valid until December 31, 2009! Especially if it included the first 500 customers, they will receive a bonus 8GB MicroSD.

Design
Magic inherited lower body curved like in the Dream. Just this lengkungannya smoother and more smoothly. Similarly, the use of a resistive touch screen and trackball navigation.

HTC put more buttons below the touch screen for Magic. Just below the screen lined the Home button (the houses), the menu button (MENU text), the Back button (the arrow curving to the left), and the Search button (magnifying glass image). Do not forget, there is a trackball in the middle. Beneath it again, there Call button and Call End buttons (as well as On-Off button).

Overall, his appearance looks simple. There is only a mini USB port like on the underside and the volume buttons on the left body. Then, the camera body behind.

Body size feels right held. HTC preparing 2 main colors for the shell, which is white and black. Surface of the polished shells are elegant impression. However, on the other side of aesthetics rather disturbing because the surface is very easy to leave the former hands.

Touch screen and the "home screen"
Like the iPhone 3G, touch screen input to the Magic must wear a finger. Because, HTC put a resistive touch screen. This is the reason for the disappearance of the stylus from the Magic.

If you've seen 3D home screen on the iPhone 3G, Samsung Ultra Touch, or the LG Renoir, then the Magic were there. When the screen "swiped" to the left or right, will appear a new home screen. By default, the home screen left empty, and the right home screen includes a Google Search bar.

Home The main screen contains a row of icons Games, TSEL Blog, Browser, and Mail on the side of the screen. Plus a big clock right in the middle of the side of the screen. However, it should be noted that this display home screen when using the SIM from Telkomsel. Normally, the home screen lined Dialer, Contacts, Browser, and Mail. It seems there is a specific mechanism that identifies the SIM installed, and Magic customize home screen.

Shortcut and widgets can be added or removed. To add, just push the button menu, push Add, and then push Shortcuts, Widgets or Folders. A more practical way is to open the main menu, push-hold the icon until the main menu to close itself, then remove the icons on home screen.

Oh yes, to bring the main menu, just push the arrow on the tabs at the bottom of the screen. Or string-pull tab toward the top. To remove from the home screen, push-hold the icon until the moment the image appears on the garbage can under the screen, then drag the icon into the trash. A little note: as of this writing, signals have not found a way to rearrange where the icons in the home screen. Magic also has a virtual keyboard with predictive text. With this, users can input characters and handwriting China.

Android operating system
Android operating system is a newcomer to the mobile operating system arena. As believers in open source, like Linux, creating many opportunities for third-party applications also supporting wide open. Officially, the Android OS just bring Quickoffice and PDF Viewer to work, and music for entertainment.

Though many called the superficial, signals do not find a bookmark or shortcut to the Android Market, aka online store for Android applications. In fact, would be interesting if HTC could provide these shortcuts.

Synchronization to a PC using Sync HTC. We can synchronize Outlook data and files between devices and PCs. Android OS can also use MS ActiveSync commonly used by Windows Mobile to synchronize with a PC.

Businessman can synchronize data with Microsoft Exchange servers. Setup is very easy to mail accounts. In fact, Magic supports multi-mailbox. Magic has the ability or 3.5 G WiFi. To surf, Magic brought their own browser that has a multi-window. When used to access the internet, it looks very nice, bright and sharp. Java script and animation on sites like Kompas.com can work well like in the computer.

Magic turned out to have a motion sensor. This looks like when we're looking at pictures; screen automatically changes orientation when body position changed from portrait to landscape and vice versa. Or we can feel when playing games Teeter. According to specifications, G-sensor can be used also for the digital compass. However, this requires a third-party applications.

The sound of his speakers have a standard, with the middle (vocals) is strong. As for the headset, his voice louder and clearer, even though the bass tone is also not appear.

Camera
Camera without a mirror, let alone the light. By default, there is no shortcut to the camera. But with the ease of entering into the home screen icons, we live display shortcut icons. To take pictures or record, live push a small ball aka trackball in the middle. The lens has autofocus so the resulting image is sharp, both macro and long distances. The results of the images in the room was also good, sharp with a uniform color variations (not pale).

Displacement between the image and video modes can be done from the menu. Just Click on the menu button to bring up the settings menu. The maximum resolution for photos is 3M (2016 x 1344) and the video is a Large (352 x 288). Video can be recorded with maximum Length Recording without limit. Audio for video recording can also be selected, will be recorded or not.
