HTC Magic: Powered by Google Android
Will the HTC Magic be able to conquer the Philippine market? Globe Telecoms announced that it will be free if you get the 7,000-peso postpaid plan (GFlex or GPlan) which I find a bit pricey. It will be available exclusively under SMART Gold subscription plans by the end of June. It would be interesting to see if other popular mobile phone manufacturers would come out an Android version of their mobile phone models.
For now, I don’t think we’ll see any Nokia mobile phone in the near future sporting a Google Android OS since Symbian is part of the Nokia group.
Those who would like to take advantage of the sync features of the phone should be a Windows user. I wonder if they’ll be coming up with a sync software that’s compatible with the other operating systems. If they do, they could win the hearts of Google fanboys and fangirls that are not into Windows. 
What I don’t like about the device control is that it uses a trackball which I think is hard to control. I’d rather see a four-key navigation with an enter button on the center. A design for a device control like that would probably make senior managers/executives switch from Blackberry to HTC Magic.
