GreenCells — Fri, 22 Jan 2010 18:24:32 +0000

The G1, being the first Android-supported phone, was bound to evolve as Android popularity grew. The MyTouch 3G (HTC Magic) is its successor, with many improvements made for the expanding community of Android fans. A smaller, sleeker design, sextupled internal memory, more comfortable dedicated buttons, and lighter weight are the most noticeable in change. Another big alteration is the lack of physical keyboard. The physical dimensions of the phone make it easy to handle, easy to store, and easy on the eyes. Despite its smaller size, it has not sacrificed any screen size, accessibility or functionality. The MyTouch 3G has access to all the amenities that the Android OS has to offer, including direct and easy access to all of Google’s free features including Gmail, YouTube, Google Talk, Google Voice, and more. The Android Market allows the user to fully customize and enable their phone to amazing and growing extents, much for free more than ever.
