HTC Magic & Dream comparison picture

The Magic looks great but the lack of a real keyboard is the dealbreaker for me. Unless of course I really get used to the VK to where I end up preferring it over the real thing....but I seriously doubt I will as I don't care for the iPhone one much as it is.

The magic is also stated as having a 1340mAh battery, wonder if it would be a drop in replacement for our 1100mAh?

^highly doubt it.

And the Magic has yet to impress me. Seriously. A thinner phone (yay) with no keyboard (huh?) running the exact same OS that my current phone runs (awwww)?

Sounds like a waste of time for anyone who already owns a G1. Until something MONUMENTAL is improved (you know, something the G1 won't be able to do), I think I'll stick with what I have.

From the pictures it doesn't look like the battery in the magic is the same one as the g1.

However, if you want a higher cap g1 battery that fits in the existing back, just get the seidio 1400 mah battery.
