HTC Magic passes FCC, heads for T-Mobile

HTC Magic, a.k.a Sapphire, is all set to show up as the next Gphone for T-Mobile packed with 7.2Mbps HSDPA and UMA. With Magic set for a European launch in April, we are expecting a similar event on this side of the globe.

I really, really hope this phone has UMA. So far I have found only 1 site that says this. CellPhoneSignal. Every other site simply, well, cites CellPhoneSignal. Their track record is spotty, at best. I even went so far as to look at the FCC documents. Maybe there is some code in there I could not figure out, but I saw nothing about UMA. So I take it with a grain of salt, but I really, really hope it has it. Of course, this begs the question, how do we root something that ships with Cupcake? We can't downgrade to RC29, we'd lose the virtual keyboard!

I really think, as previous posters have said, that we should iron out the kinks with the G1 runing android first. Instead of flooding the market with a thousand iphone beaters with the same faulty os.

Still looks like a Volkswagen Bus.

I'm still calling this the g2, but what I see now is something similar to EA (Electronic Arts) were they had something good but messy @ the same time and hardly any support. This is my first htc phone and right now this isn't looking pretty
