My Android Experience so far…..

From the unboxing to first impressions of HTC Magic can be followed in my other blog here.  But here are some more of my impressions on using HTC Magic so far,

• Android 1.5 with Sense Interface is for pretty stable with no hangups and fast to work with
• Android App market access in India is a great way to enhance and add value to the phone but restricting access to paid apps is a downer and also not mentioning whether its completely a “FREE APP” or a “AD SPONSORED FREE APP” is a irritant
• Basic phone qualities like network reception and call quality seems good. But without a dedicated desktop software to sync contacts (not a fan of syncing my phone contacts to google contacts) , messages is a let down. No Call / Message / Data counter is also a downer.
• Messaging with onscreen qwerty (potrait or landscape) with the word suggestion is nice but the messaging thread system jumbles the order of the sms sent & received is a downer
• Music and Video are good to hear and see. No FM and No 3.5 mm jack is a downer
• Camera is pretty slow to refresh and focus but the snaps in good lighting conditions comes out nice.
• Browsing with the default android browser is good.

So far the Android adventure is good but a official HTC ROM update to Android V2.2 would be most welcome
