Stay Away From Celcom’s HTC Magic – Potential Perfect SPL
I have a friend that recently got his phone RMA-ed back to him. Everything seemed fine until he discovered that doing fastboot and using adb to push a custom SPL failed. This essentially means that there is no way to flash a custom (usually rooted) ROM onto the phone. While I don't mind not having root, I cannot imagine using an Android phone without all the very very cool applications due to the missing Android Market place!
The phone does not even have an application that can use its built-in GPS! I suggest customers actually return the phone complaining the lack of GPS (hey, what good is the hardware if there is nothing on the phone to show for it?). I hope someone from Celcom reads this and fix the phone ASAP. It's bad enough you have to flash a custom ROM to fully utilize the phone, now even that is impossible.
