To the Android world

YES!! I finally took the plunge and got the TMobile Mytouch (HTC Magic) handset running Android. So far am quite impressed by the handset, not so much with the T-Mobile service.
I still have my AT&T set, and at home, T-Mobile call quality is much better than AT&T. However, at my work at Juniper Networks, T-Mobile coverage is pretty bad. Inside the building, the data coverage always falls back to EDGE instead of 3G.
The silver lining is… TMo is setting up a tower very near the work building. So, hopefully this problem will go away.
Coming back to the handset, I like the feel of it in hand over Iphone (which feels much larger and difficult to operate using one hand). The keyboard is a little sluggish, but hopefully that will be fixed with the Donut release come tomorrow. The phone looks super cool. I’m still getting used to all the features.
Apps that I added so far are:
Will cover some of them in later posts.
